Jo Sawers is a Hook-based maternity specialist. She creates natural, emotive pregnancy and bump photos in a relaxed, maternal-led style across Hook and Surrey.
Gidday — I’m Jo. As a Mummy and a photographer rooted in Hook and Surrey, maternity photography is where I truly shine. I specialise in pregnancy and bump photoshoots that feel gentle, real and timeless. My aim is simple: to capture the quiet strength, warmth and joy of this incredible chapter so you have images you’ll return to again and again. Why choose me? I bring a calm, maternal-led approach that keeps you comfortable and centre-stage. I know how precious (and fleeting) pregnancy can feel, and that’s reflected in how I work — relaxed sessions, sensitive direction and plenty of opportunities to capture candid, emotive moments. Whether you prefer soft, intimate photos at home, natural outdoor shots or studio-style portraits, I tailor each maternity photoshoot to your personality and comfort. My style leans towards natural, emotive imagery rather than forced poses. I’ll suggest gentle posing and light guidance, then let the authentic connection do the rest. Expect a mix of bump-focused portraits, parent-to-be portraits, and tender images that include partners or siblings if you wish. Being a Hook-based photographer means I also know beautiful local spots across Surrey for outdoor sessions — ideal for golden-hour, nature-backed maternity photos. How I work: we’ll start with a friendly chat about what you want from your pregnancy photoshoot — timing, location and any wardrobe or styling thoughts. On the day, I create a calm atmosphere, moving at your pace so feeds, rests or breaks are never an issue. I encourage women to bring anything that makes them feel confident and comfortable. Afterwards, I carefully edit your images to a timeless finish so they look just as beautiful on a wall as they do on screen. I’m passionate about photographing expecting mothers because these images become anchors in family stories. If you’re in Hook, GB or nearby in Surrey and you want a specialist maternity photographer who understands motherhood, warmth and ease, let’s have a chat. I’d love to help you celebrate this remarkable time with maternity photos you’ll treasure.
