Horsham maternity specialist Cate Dwyer creates relaxed, natural bump and pregnancy photography. Mobile sessions at home or on location with bespoke hand‑painted backgrounds and warm, personal guidance.
I’m Cate — a full‑time photographer and mum based in Horsham, with over ten years’ experience capturing the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy. Maternity photography is one of my core specialisms: I focus on creating relaxed, natural images that celebrate your changing body and the emotional, joyful moments that surround expecting mothers. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I bring a calm, confidence‑building approach that helps even the most camera‑shy feel comfortable. Sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home or at a favourite local location across Horsham, West Sussex and Surrey. As a fully mobile photographer I bring everything needed — studio lighting, carefully chosen fabrics and props, plus my hand‑painted bespoke backgrounds and floors — so we can craft imagery that feels uniquely yours. My style is warm, natural and timeless. I’m not about stiff, overly posed portraits; instead I guide gentle, flattering poses and encourage moments of connection — between you and your partner, your family, or simply with your bump. I’ll help with styling ideas and wardrobe choices so your images feel cohesive and beautiful on screen or on your wall. How I work: from our first message we’ll plan your session together. I listen to your vision and tailor the shoot to suit your comfort, schedule and location. On the day I create a relaxed atmosphere so you can enjoy the experience — we’ll move slowly, take breaks as needed and focus on capturing the details you want to remember. After the shoot you’ll receive a private password‑protected gallery to choose your favourites; I also offer guidance on wall art, albums and bespoke displays to celebrate your images at home. Based in Horsham and photographing throughout West Sussex and Surrey, I take enormous pride in creating maternity photos that feel honest, beautiful and personal. If you’d like a calm, expert photographer who specialises in maternity and bump photography, I’d love to hear about your ideas and plan a session that feels just right for you.
