Karen Riches is a specialist maternity photographer in Worden Park, Leyland. She blends studio and outdoor bump photography to create relaxed, award-winning portraits that celebrate pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a short, magical time — and at Red Frog Studio Photography we specialise in capturing it beautifully. Based in the Old Gardener’s Cottage in Worden Park, Leyland, Karen Riches combines fine-art studio work with the park’s natural backdrops to create maternity portraits that feel relaxed, personal and timeless. As a specialist maternity photographer, Karen’s approach centres on creating a calm, enjoyable experience. She recommends bookings from around 34 weeks so your bump is shown to its best, and she works with you to plan simple, flattering poses, clothing choices and any meaningful props you’d like to include. Whether you prefer classic black-and-white images, soft, natural light studio portraits, or atmospheric outdoor shots among the trees and gardens, Karen tailors each session to your style and comfort. What sets Red Frog apart is the combination of location and craft. The studio sits within Worden Park, so most sittings include both studio and outdoor photographs during the same visit — giving you a varied collection of images without extra travel. Karen’s years of experience photographing families, newborns and maternity sessions mean she knows how to make expectant mothers feel at ease, creating natural expressions rather than forced poses. The result is maternity photography that genuinely reflects personality and connection. Customer care is central to the experience. From your first enquiry to the moment you choose your final images, Karen aims to deliver friendly, patient service and beautiful final artwork for your home. Many clients return year after year, and the studio’s award recognition in related portrait categories reflects a consistent commitment to quality and creativity. If you’d like a maternity photoshoot that celebrates this chapter with style and sensitivity, Red Frog Studio Photography in Leyland provides a specialist, personalised service. Sessions are relaxed, professionally guided and focussed on creating lasting images you’ll treasure. Please contact the studio to discuss timing, outfit ideas and how Karen can help you freeze this moment in time with elegant bump photography.
