Morag MacDonald of Documentary Image Ltd is a specialist maternity photographer in Keynsham. She creates relaxed, natural pregnancy and bump photoshoots that celebrate this special time.
I am Morag MacDonald and I specialise in maternity photography from my base in Keynsham, serving Keynsham, Bristol and the South West. Maternity work is one of my core passions — I approach each pregnancy photoshoot with the same simple, stylish sensibility that runs through all my portrait work. My aim is to create calm, beautiful images that honour the shape, strength and quiet intimacy of this time. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? My background in documentary and portrait photography means I blend observation with thoughtful direction: I look for natural moments and subtle light, but I’m also happy to guide poses that flatter and feel authentic. Many clients choose studio sessions in a comfortable, private setting, while others prefer location shoots in a nearby park, wood or at home. I work gently and unhurriedly so you feel relaxed and confident throughout the session. My style for pregnancy photography favours natural light, clean compositions and timeless black-and-white and colour images. I enjoy bump photography that feels both intimate and honest — close-up studies of hands and profiles, candid moments with partners or older children, and quietly powerful portraits of you alone. I believe pregnancy portraits should reflect who you are, not a trend, so each gallery is uniquely tailored to you. What to expect: we’ll talk before your shoot to plan the look and location you want. The best time for a maternity shoot is often around 32–36 weeks when your bump feels beautifully defined, but I am flexible and will work with whatever timing suits you. Sessions are unhurried to allow for comfort breaks and outfit changes. After the shoot you’ll be invited to view your images and choose the photographs you love; I provide gentle retouching to ensure your finished images look natural and flattering. Based in Keynsham, I regularly photograph expecting mothers across the region and am proud to bring an experienced, award-winning eye to every maternity session. If you’d like a maternity photoshoot that’s calm, considered and crafted with care, please get in touch — I’d love to discuss your ideas and create images you’ll treasure.
