The Photography Mill

At The Photography Mill, maternity photography is a craft we take to heart. Tam & Kay bring years of industry experience and a gentle, people-first approach to every session, creating a calm studio environment where expectant mothers — and their partners or children — can relax, connect and feel beautiful. We specialise in capturing the fleeting, tender moments of pregnancy with warm, authentic images that celebrate your bump and your story. Our style is all about natural, intimate portraits rather than forced poses. We spend time getting to know you, listening to how you’d like to be photographed, and suggesting simple wardrobe and styling ideas that let your personality shine. The studio is set up to be welcoming and comfortable: soft fabrics, flattering backdrops and a small selection of lace and chiffon gowns and drapes are available to help create timeless, elegant images. Whether you prefer a pared-back, barefoot look or a more styled session, we tailor the shoot to suit your comfort level. We recommend booking at a time that best captures the shape and comfort of your bump, and we’ll guide you on timing and preparation so your session runs smoothly. Our sessions move at your pace — we won’t rush — and we allow space for breaks, outfit changes and those little moments that make the photos truly yours. Tam & Kay’s calm, conversational direction helps even camera-shy clients relax, resulting in candid expressions and natural connection between you and your loved ones. After your photoshoot you’ll be invited to a private online gallery to view carefully edited images in the comfort of your home. We work with you to choose the photographs that mean the most, and we can help with prints or keepsakes that make lovely gifts or nursery displays. If you’re planning to continue your family story with newborn portraits, we can discuss a cohesive approach so your maternity images sit beautifully alongside later photos. Based in Kempston, we’re proud to be a local specialist in maternity photography. If you’d like a relaxed, personal studio experience that celebrates this special time, get in touch — Tam & Kay would love to help you create images you’ll treasure forever.
