Hi, I’m Charlie — the face behind Charlotte Christopher Photography. Maternity photography is one of my core passions and I specialise in creating calm, natural portraits that celebrate the quiet strength and beauty of pregnancy. Working from my neutral, comfortable studio at Blackbrook Barns in Lichfield, I aim to make every pregnancy photoshoot feel relaxed, honest and timeless. My approach is simple: I prioritise atmosphere and connection over fussy props or heavy posing. Expecting mothers tell me they value the gentle, unhurried sessions I create — a space where you can breathe, connect with your bump and feel like yourself. I work intuitively, listening to how you feel and guiding gentle poses that flatter and feel natural. The result is a collection of images that will sit comfortably in your home and be cherished for years to come. I bring a calm, patient energy to every session — something families often mention after their shoots. As a mum myself, I know how precious and fleeting these moments are, and I treat each maternity session with care and respect. Whether you come on your own, with a partner or include a small family element, I’ll help you feel prepared and confident. I also offer styling and clothing guidance so your images look cohesive and effortless without adding stress to the process. Location matters: I photograph from my purposefully relaxed studio at Blackbrook Barns in Lichfield, a light-filled space designed for comfort and natural portraits. The studio’s neutral tones keep the focus on you and your connection with this special time. If you prefer a more documentary feel, I can also discuss simple ways to capture natural moments that reflect your personality. Choosing Charlotte Christopher Photography means choosing a specialist in maternity photography who values authenticity, warmth and timeless imagery. If you’d like to talk about a pregnancy photoshoot or have questions about the session, I’d love to hear from you — it would be an honour to capture this chapter of your story in Lichfield.
