Photography by belle

Hi, I’m Belle — a mum of two and a specialist maternity photographer based in Kettering, Northamptonshire. Photography is my passion and I love being trusted to capture one of the most tender, empowering chapters in a family’s life. My approach to maternity photography is gentle, relaxed and very much focused on real moments: the connection between you and your baby, the glow, the quiet smiles and the little details that make this time unique. I shoot maternity sessions in a lifestyle way — usually in-home where you feel comfortable, or outdoors when the light and weather lend themselves to natural portraits. My aim is to create an atmosphere that feels calm and safe so expecting mums can be themselves. I’ll work with you to find flattering poses, soft natural light and backgrounds that complement your bump and your story rather than overwhelm it. Why choose me? As a fellow parent I know how fleeting these months feel. I combine that empathy with years of hands-on experience to make each session personal and easy. I take pride in being approachable and down-to-earth: we’ll chat beforehand to plan the vibe you want, the best time of day, and any wardrobe or location ideas you have. On the day I guide gently, help with posing, and keep things relaxed so your photographs feel authentic, not forced. All images are carefully edited and delivered in high resolution through an online gallery ready to download and share. My focus is always on quality over quantity — selecting the strongest images that tell the story of your pregnancy. If you’re in Kettering or the surrounding Northamptonshire area and want maternity photos that feel natural, timeless and true to you, I’d love to help capture this beautiful moment. Get in touch and we’ll plan a session that celebrates you and your growing family.
