Specialist maternity photographer in Hythe capturing natural, empowering bump photography. Phoebe creates relaxed, on-location maternity photoshoots that celebrate you and your pregnancy journey.
Phoebe Croton is a Hythe-based maternity specialist who views pregnancy photography as a chance to celebrate you — your strength, your beauty, and the quiet magic of the bump. With a background in art and a love of candid storytelling, Phoebe’s work centres on natural light, gentle direction, and locations that feel meaningful: think windswept beaches, sunlit forests, and peaceful coastal spots around the New Forest. Why choose Phoebe? Because she specialises in maternity photography and brings a warm, conversational approach to every shoot. She’s a country girl at heart who loves meeting families and expecting parents, so she knows how to put you at ease even if you’re shy in front of the camera. Phoebe’s aim is to create images that feel true to you — relaxed, intimate, and timeless — rather than stiff or overly posed. Her sessions are built around connection. Phoebe guides couples and individuals with simple, natural prompts that encourage real moments: a laugh, a soft touch, a quiet look between partners. She listens to your ideas and suggests locations that complement your story, always prioritising comfort and calm so you can enjoy the experience. Many clients choose outdoor settings — beach, dunes, woodland — but Phoebe is happy to explore any place that feels special to you. Working with Phoebe is easy and friendly. Expect a relaxed pre-shoot chat where you can share what matters most to you; on the day she’ll lead gently, capture candid interactions, and focus on the small, fleeting details you’ll want to remember. Her artistic eye and technical experience allow her to craft soft, emotive images that age beautifully — perfect for prints, albums, and keepsakes. Based in Hythe and available to travel across Hampshire and beyond, Phoebe welcomes enquiries from anyone looking for a thoughtful, specialist maternity photographer. If you want photos that honour this transformative time and make you feel empowered and radiant, Phoebe would love to help document your pregnancy journey.
