Lumiere Photography

I specialise in maternity photography for expectant mothers across Loughborough, Leicestershire and the Midlands. My approach is gentle, relaxed and documentary-led: I put your comfort first and aim to capture the quiet, meaningful moments that make this time in your life unique. Whether you want soft at-home images, intimate portraits in a favourite outdoor spot, or a session that includes your partner and children, I focus on connection rather than perfection. With years of experience as a professional photographer in Leicestershire, I understand how unpredictable pregnancy sessions can be. I work at your pace — no rush, no pressure — so feeds, rests or changes of plan won’t spoil the shoot. I use natural light where possible and gentle guidance rather than stiff posing, helping you feel at ease so genuine smiles, tender touches and the little details of your bump are what come through in the images. The process begins with a friendly chat to understand what matters to you: location preferences, how you want to feel in your photos, and whether you’d like partners, siblings or even your pet to join. On the day I create a calm atmosphere, offering simple prompts to encourage real interactions rather than forced poses. I also photograph close-up details — hands on bump, fabrics, expressions — so your gallery tells the full story of this chapter. As a family and maternity specialist, I often help clients plan follow-on sessions — newborn or family portraits — so the maternity shoot can be the beginning of a photographic story that grows with your family. I pride myself on delivering images that feel timeless and authentic, photos you’ll want to have on your walls and in albums to look back on for years to come. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who values warmth, honesty and calm, I’d love to talk. Based in Loughborough and working across the Midlands, I capture maternity photoshoots that celebrate you — your body, your relationships and the small, unforgettable moments of pregnancy.
