Nikki Watts is a Kingston upon Hull maternity specialist who celebrates pregnancy with natural, neutral-toned portraits. Her calm, mum-led approach and cosy home studio help expecting mothers feel relaxed and radiant.
Nikki Watts is a dedicated maternity photographer based in Kingston upon Hull, specialising in pregnancy and bump photography that feels honest, warm and timeless. A mum herself, Nikki understands how precious this chapter is and brings a gentle, reassuring presence to every session. Her guiding philosophy — "I believe simple is beautiful" — shapes each portrait: natural light, neutral colours and uncluttered styling keep the focus where it belongs, on you and your connection with your growing baby. Nikki’s sessions are designed to be calm and collaborative. She offers wardrobe guidance and styling advice rooted in her signature aesthetic of creams, greys, browns and soft whites, so images remain elegant and enduring. In the studio she uses soft, natural light and subtle posing to flatter every shape while capturing the real emotion of pregnancy — quiet joy, expectancy and the unique glow of each mother-to-be. Her friendly, conversational manner helps even the most camera-shy clients feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens. Training and real-life experience inform Nikki’s sensitive approach. Beginning her photography journey after becoming a parent, she combined formal study and mentorship with hands-on practice to develop safe, confident handling and posing techniques. That mix of professional learning and personal perspective means she understands both the technical and human sides of maternity work: how to shape a frame and how to make the session feel natural and supportive. While maternity is Nikki’s core focus, she also offers family and portrait sessions for parents and siblings who want to include the whole family in this milestone. Everything she creates aims to be subtle, stylish and timeless — images you’ll be proud to display and return to for years. If you’re looking for a maternity photoshoot in Hull that feels relaxed, authentic and beautifully simple, Nikki Watts provides a welcoming home-studio experience and a clear visual style that celebrates pregnancy with warmth and dignity.
