Rachel Clarke Photography

Hello — I’m Rachel, a specialist maternity photographer based in Litherland with a cosy studio on Seaforth Road. Maternity photography is one of my core passions: I aim to create relaxed, natural images that celebrate the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy. Whether you prefer simple, timeless portraits or a more styled session, I tailor each shoot to how you feel and what you want to remember. My approach is gentle and unhurried. Maternity sessions work best around 30–34 weeks when you’re comfortable and your bump is beautifully defined. I offer simple maternity set-ups using both natural window light and studio flash, and I’m happy to shoot in my studio or outdoors if you’d like a more candid, lifestyle look. I care about making the whole experience feel warm and easy — many clients tell me sessions feel like being photographed by an old friend. What sets me apart is a combination of specialist focus and friendliness. As a professionally trained photographer who spends a lot of time photographing families and newborns, I understand how to pose you comfortably and capture real moments — the small smiles, the connection, the way you hold your bump. I personalise colour palettes, props and styling so your images sit beautifully in your home, and I always listen to what you want from your session. My Seaforth Road studio in Litherland is cosy, easy to reach and great for maternity shoots; it’s also a relaxed space where you can feel at home. If you prefer the soft glow of an evening outdoorshoot, I’ll guide you to the best light and locations nearby. I also offer a little thank-you for booking both milestones: maternity clients receive a discount on newborn sessions when your baby arrives. If you’re expecting and would like a calm, confident photographer who specialises in maternity photography, I’d love to chat. Bring along any ideas, outfits or sentimental items you want included — I’ll make sure your session is tailored, comfortable and full of images you’ll treasure for years to come.
