Jenner Mackay-James Photography

As a specialist in maternity photography based in Hitchin, I focus on creating calm, confident and beautifully natural images that celebrate this unique time in your life. My approach is relaxed, elegant and natural — I aim to capture the quiet connection between you and your baby, the graceful lines of your bump and the genuine moments that feel like you, without cheesy posing or over-styling. Sessions take place in my comfortable home studio in Hitchin or I can bring my pop-up studio to your home if you prefer a familiar, private space. I’m also happy to shoot on location around Hertfordshire for those who love outdoor light and meaningful places. Whichever setting you choose, my priority is to make the session calm, easy and enjoyable — I guide poses gently, allow plenty of time for breaks and create an atmosphere where expecting mothers can relax and feel beautiful. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I bring a sensitive, considered eye to every session and specialise in maternity as a core part of my practice. My style is timeless rather than trendy, focusing on natural light, simple compositions and authentic expression so your images will remain cherished for years to come. I provide practical support from booking to delivery: advice on wardrobe and styling, help planning the best location for your vision, and flexible scheduling so we can work around your due date. Many clients book early so we can pencil in around their expected arrival and ensure the session fits comfortably into the final weeks of pregnancy. I treat each shoot as a collaborative experience — we chat about ideas beforehand, I tailor the session to what makes you feel most comfortable, and I’m there to put you at ease throughout. If you’re looking for maternity or bump photography in Hitchin and the surrounding Hertfordshire area, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll create calm, elegant images that honour this special chapter and give you timeless keepsakes you’ll treasure. Jen (Jenner Mackay-James Photography)
