Louisa Peacock Photography

I’m Louisa Peacock — a Muswell Hill maternity specialist who believes pregnancy photography should feel gentle, honest and beautifully simple. My approach is deliberately minimal: I strip away gimmicks and props so your bump, your body and this extraordinary moment in your life are the stars. That means elegant lighting, uncluttered backdrops and a focus on the quiet, real expressions that make pregnancy so moving. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I’ve spent years refining a calm, studio-based process designed to make expecting mothers feel safe, comfortable and celebrated. From our first pre-session conversation I’ll listen to what matters to you — whether you want soft, contemplative portraits, celebration shots with a partner, or a pregnancy photoshoot that feels more like quiet, personal artwork. My studio in Muswell Hill offers a relaxed, cosy atmosphere with private parking, creature comforts for your ease, and everything needed to keep the focus on you. My sessions prioritise care and experience. I use flattering, timeless lighting and straightforward poses that honour the natural shape of your body. If you prefer a more candid, documentary feel I can bring that sensitivity to the session too — all while maintaining a composed, artful aesthetic. I’ve learned that choosing simplicity allows the unique personality of each mum-to-be to shine through; imperfections become part of the story and the images feel real and lasting. How I work: we start with a relaxed chat to plan tone, wardrobe and any special ideas you have. On the day, I guide you through poses and movement in a way that feels supportive rather than staged. After the shoot you’ll be invited to a viewing where we choose the images that speak to you and discuss beautiful ways to keep them — from framed portraits to albums that become family heirlooms. This is about more than a pretty picture — it’s about preserving a powerful life moment. My style is calm, respectful and artful, and I’m proud to help expecting mothers in Muswell Hill and beyond remember pregnancy as the precious, imperfect, perfect time it is. If you’d like to chat about a maternity photoshoot, I’m always happy to talk through ideas and make a plan that feels just right for you.
