Natural, documentary maternity photoshoots in Littlehampton and across Sussex. Alex, a mum and specialist photographer, creates relaxed at‑home or beach sessions that celebrate your bump and family.
I specialise in maternity photography from my base in Littlehampton, photographing expectant parents across Sussex with a natural, documentary approach. As a mum myself, I know how precious and fleeting pregnancy really is — my work is about honouring that moment with relaxed, honest images that reflect who you are rather than forcing poses. Why choose me? I bring a calm, experienced presence to every session. My speciality is maternity: I focus on the intimacy of pregnancy, the quiet connection between partners, and the little gestures that become treasured memories. I shoot in a relaxed, unposed style so clients feel comfortable and looked after — whether we’re working at home, on a favourite Sussex beach or in the woods. I’ll help you choose locations, outfits and timings that flatter the light and enhance the mood you want to capture. My process is simple and supportive. We start with a phone or online consultation to understand your vision — clothing choices, whether you want partner or sibling involvement, and any special details to include. Maternity sessions are best planned for the later stages of pregnancy (I usually recommend around 31–36 weeks) so we can make the most of your bump while you still feel comfortable. On the day I work gently: guiding natural interactions, encouraging movement, and allowing authentic moments to unfold. If you prefer, we’ll add a few softly directed poses to create a balanced mix of images. Editing is handled with care to create timeless portraits. I include a blend of colour and black-and-white images and produce a short highlights reel set to a song of your choice — a beautiful way to remember the session beyond the stills. Family and pets are welcome and often add warmth and personality to the story we create together. Photography for me is personal — I love documenting life’s transitions and the quiet beauty of expectant families. If you’re looking for a maternity specialist in Littlehampton or elsewhere in Sussex who will capture your pregnancy with sensitivity and authenticity, I’d love to hear about your plans and help create images you’ll cherish for years to come.
