How she works with expecting mothers - Personal pre-session consultation: every session begins with a conversation about the mood, colour palette and wardrobe that suit you—this planning ensures a calm, personalised experience. - Comfortable home studio or outdoor sessions: most maternity sessions take place in Marietta’s welcoming studio near Hertford (convenient for Hoddesdon clients), but outdoor shoots can be arranged to capture natural, flowing images. - Styling and wardrobe support: Marietta provides a selection of drapes and maternity gowns and will guide you on outfits; she also welcomes your own pieces to maintain the look you love. - Boudoir‑inspired options: if you’d like more intimate, sensual images, Marietta can include tasteful boudoir-style maternity shots as part of your session. The session experience is relaxed and unhurried—Marietta takes the time to guide poses gently, creating an atmosphere where you can laugh, breathe and connect with this unique moment. After the shoot, you’ll be invited back to the studio for a viewing where images are presented thoughtfully over a cup of tea; Marietta also offers beautiful wall art and heirloom products to transform your favourite portraits into lasting keepsakes. Marietta’s work is award‑winning and crafted with care: she treats each maternity session as a collaboration, helping you create a legacy of images your family will return to for years.
