Helen Keast Wedding and Family Photography

I specialise in maternity photography in Loughborough and across Leicestershire, creating relaxed, natural images that celebrate pregnancy and the changes you’re living through. As a people photographer my aim is to capture authentic moments and the quiet beauty of this time—real smiles, gentle touches and the small details of your bump that you’ll want to remember. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I bring over a decade of family photography experience and professional training — I qualified as a Licentiate with the British Institute of Professional Photographers (BIPP) in 2009 — and I work with expecting mothers in a calm, unhurried way. My approach is personal: I listen to how you want to feel in your images and tailor the session so you can relax, feel comfortable and look like yourself. My maternity sessions are about connection and authenticity. Whether you prefer a location that means something to you, a peaceful outdoor shoot in Leicestershire surroundings, or a comfortable at-home session, I create opportunities for natural interaction rather than stiff posing. I use relaxed direction and simple prompts to help you move and connect with your partner or family so the photographs feel genuine and timeless. I believe maternity photography should form part of a lasting family story. My focus is on creating photographs you’ll treasure — images that sit comfortably alongside your family portraits and tell the next chapter of your life. From initial chat to the final images, I aim to provide a warm, reassuring experience: gentle guidance during the shoot, an emphasis on natural light and calm atmospheres, and images that reflect the real emotion of expecting mothers. If you’re looking for bump photography or a pregnancy photoshoot in Loughborough, I’d love to hear about your plans. I’m based locally and happy to discuss locations, styling ideas and how to make your maternity session relaxed, beautiful and unforgettable.
