Arc Studios Photography

Arc Studios Photography — led by Vivienne Bailey — is a Lichfield-based specialist in maternity photography. With a background in press and PR work and more than a decade behind the camera, Vivienne brings calm, confidence and care to every pregnancy photoshoot. I approach maternity work with the same gentle, considered style I use for portraits and newborns: prioritising natural light, flattering poses and authentic moments that celebrate this unique time. Why choose Arc Studios for your maternity session? I focus on maternity as a core discipline — not an add-on. That means an experienced, sensitive eye for composition, posture and the small details that make bump photography feel personal and timeless. My images aim to be elegant rather than staged, creating photos you’ll want to look back on for years to come. How I work with you: each maternity shoot begins with a relaxed conversation about your style, comfort level and whether you prefer the controlled environment of our Lichfield studio or a more natural on-location session. In the studio I provide simple wraps, fabrics and a calm space to help you feel at ease. On-location shoots benefit from local landscapes or your chosen environment to add context and atmosphere. Throughout the session I offer gentle guidance on posing and movement so each image feels natural and flattering. The Arc Studios experience is personal and client-focused. I build a quiet, friendly atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy the session; my aim is to capture both posed portraits and candid moments that reveal the quiet strength and joy of expecting mothers. After the shoot I present the images with care so you can choose the photographs that best tell your story. Based in Lichfield and serving the West Midlands, Arc Studios Photography specialises in maternity and portrait work with the professionalism of a photographer who has worked for press and PR clients as well as families and businesses. If you’re looking for maternity photography that is experienced, empathetic and distinctly personal, I’d love to help you create beautiful, lasting images of this special moment.
