Expert maternity photoshoots in Kirkby in Ashfield by Jade Milner. Natural, emotive bump photography that celebrates your pregnancy with calm guidance and a relaxed, personal session.
I’m Jade Milner, a specialist in maternity photography based in Kirkby in Ashfield. I believe pregnancy is one of the most beautiful, fleeting chapters in a family’s story, and my maternity photoshoots are designed to capture that unique glow and quiet confidence. My approach centres on natural, emotive images that celebrate your bump and the connection between you and your growing family. My sessions are relaxed and personal. I work with expecting mothers to create images that feel authentic — whether you want gentle, timeless portraits, intimate "mummy & me" moments, or more styled bump photography. I prioritise making you feel comfortable with simple direction, soft posing and patient pacing so the session feels calm and enjoyable rather than staged. Many clients tell me they leave feeling empowered and at ease, even if they arrived unsure about being photographed. Location matters: I photograph around Kirkby in Ashfield and neighbouring areas, favouring natural outdoor settings where light and landscape enhance the mood, as well as cosy, intimate indoor moments when that suits your vision. Before every shoot I talk through ideas, preferred looks and practical details so we arrive prepared and confident. I’m happy to advise on timing for the best light, simple styling choices and how to include partners or little ones if you’d like family elements in your maternity collection. Technically I combine a soft, natural palette with attention to expression and connection. The result is a gallery of images that feel personal and timeless — photographs you’ll return to again and again. While maternity is my primary focus, I also photograph family sessions and birth or newborn moments for parents who want a consistent, gentle storytelling style across their early family years. If you’re expecting and looking for a maternity photographer in Kirkby in Ashfield who specialises in honest, beautiful bump photography, I’d love to work with you. Together we’ll create a calm session that reflects this special time and produces keepsakes you’ll cherish.
