Wonderful Things Photography

Hi — I’m Charlie, a mummy to my little loves Jacob, Jesse & Daisy and a specialist maternity photographer based in Hemel Hempstead. I love photographing pregnancy because those months are full of quiet magic: the changes, the anticipation, and the small moments that become treasured memories. My work is driven by a simple belief — pregnancy photography should feel calm, personal and true to you. As a maternity specialist I focus on creating a relaxed, supportive experience. I’m not that into rigid posing; instead I blend gentle direction with documentary-style attention so you end up with images that feel natural and beautiful. Whether you want intimate, softly lit portraits of your bump or a session that includes a quiet family connection, my aim is to capture the real emotion and subtle details that make this time unique. My home studio in Hemel Hempstead is a peaceful, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable and safe. I pride myself on making sessions relaxed and unhurried — the kind of space where laughter and gentle moments happen naturally. I bring a calm, friendly approach that helps even those who feel nervous in front of a camera to relax and enjoy the experience. Working with me is a collaborative process. We’ll chat beforehand to understand your vision, outfit choices and any special touches you’d like. On the day I’ll offer soft guidance and creative ideas, while always listening to what feels right for you. The result is a collection of warm, authentic images that tell the story of this incredible chapter in your life. My style leans toward timeless, natural imagery: soft tones, genuine expressions and an emphasis on connection. I gently retouch images to enhance that authenticity rather than altering it — the goal is to give you photographs you will love to look back on for years to come. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Hemel Hempstead who specialises in calm, honest pregnancy photography and who understands the emotional significance of these moments, I’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to talk about your ideas and how we can capture this special time together.
