Experienced Horsham maternity photographer Clare at Samphire Photography creates intimate, relaxed pregnancy portraits. Studio sessions include a curated maternity wardrobe; partners and children welcome.
Samphire Photography is a specialist maternity photographer based in Horsham, West Sussex, dedicated to celebrating the beauty of pregnancy. Clare brings over a decade of portrait experience and a warm, relaxed approach that helps expectant mothers feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Her focus is on creating timeless, intimate images that capture the personality, glow and emotion of this very special time. Sessions take place in Samphire’s welcoming home studio in Littleworth, near Partridge Green, or on location when you prefer an outdoor backdrop. Maternity shoots are 1–2 hours and are styled to you — Clare offers a curated maternity wardrobe of gowns and fabrics, plus accessories to create elegant, flattering looks. Partners and children are invited to join so portraits can reflect the wider family connection as your family prepares to grow. What sets Samphire apart is the combination of technical skill and gentle, patient direction. Clare’s experience with posing and natural lighting ensures flattering compositions while always prioritising your comfort. She guides every pose with a calm, encouraging manner so that even those who feel nervous about being photographed leave feeling empowered. A detailed prep guide is provided ahead of the session to help with outfit choices, hair and make-up options (hair and make-up can be arranged on request) and to ensure you arrive feeling relaxed and prepared. The Samphire process is client-led and friendly: after your shoot you will be invited back to view your images and choose the pieces that best suit your home and story. Clare works closely with each client to ensure final images are edited thoughtfully — enhancing natural beauty without over-processing — and to offer options for artwork or digital collections when desired. For those who want to document the whole journey, Samphire also offers combined options like Bump To Baby, connecting maternity and newborn portrait experiences into a cohesive story. Above all, Clare believes pregnancy is a time to celebrate — her maternity photography aims to preserve the emotion, anticipation and love of that moment in a way you and your family will treasure forever. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer in Horsham who blends professional skill with a warm, personal touch, Samphire Photography is here to capture your story.
