Hereford maternity photographer Kay Dawn crafts natural, warm pregnancy and bump photos in relaxed, hands-off sessions. Expect gentle direction, golden-hour magic and images you'll love to display.
I’m Kay — a Hereford-based maternity photographer who specialises in creating natural, confident portraits of expecting mothers. I believe pregnancy should be celebrated without fuss: no awkward poses, no cheesy contrivances — just honest, beautiful images that reflect the quiet strength and joy of this time. My approach is relaxed and hands-off. We’ll have a proper chat before your session so I understand how you like to be photographed, then I’ll tailor the shoot to suit you — whether that’s a golden-hour wander across a local field, a cosy, at-home session in the room where you feel most comfortable, or a soft, simple studio-style portrait. I won’t ask you to ‘strike a pose’; instead I’ll guide gentle, natural movement and small prompts that help you feel at ease in front of the camera. I specialise in bump photography that looks and feels like you. I love warm, natural light, tasteful colour, and images that look contemporary and effortless. Many clients tell me they don’t usually like having their photo taken, yet leave surprised at how comfortable and even joyful the session felt — that’s exactly what I aim for. As a mum myself, I understand energy levels, nerves and the small practical details that make a session run smoothly. Working with me is straightforward and friendly. From first contact to the finished gallery I’ll be there to answer questions, suggest locations, and create a calm atmosphere on the day. My goal is to capture those subtle, intimate moments — the gentle cradle of a bump, the glow of late-afternoon light, the small smiles and quiet connections that mean so much. If you’re in Hereford or surrounding counties and you want maternity photos that are warm, contemporary and genuinely you, let’s chat. I’ll help you plan a relaxed session that celebrates this chapter and gives you images you’ll be proud to hang in your home and keep forever.
