Bash Creative Studio

Blooming Bellies, Radiant Moments — At Bash Creative Studio I specialise in maternity photography that celebrates the beauty, strength and tenderness of pregnancy. Based in Ilkeston, my approach is rooted in portraiture and designed to create timeless, emotive images that reflect who you are at this extraordinary moment. What sets my maternity work apart is an emphasis on calm, personalised sessions. I aim to build a relaxed and comfortable environment where you can feel confident and connected — whether you choose a softly lit studio portrait or a more intimate, documentary-style image. My focus is always on capturing authentic emotion: the gentle curve of your bump, the glow in your expression, and the quiet interactions you share with partners or children if you choose to include them. I bring a portrait photographer’s eye to every maternity shoot. That means careful attention to composition, flattering light, and simple styling that highlights your natural beauty. I work with you before the session to understand your vision — from wardrobe and poses to whether you want classic, fine-art portraits or more candid, storytelling images. On the day I offer gentle direction and creative ideas so the session feels effortless and enjoyable. Photography is how I preserve memories and tell stories. I love helping expecting mothers feel celebrated, seen and reassured through thoughtful imagery. My sessions are crafted to honour the unique journey of each family, creating keepsakes you’ll return to for years to come.
