Maternity photographer in Shirley. Irina specialises in calm, soulful pregnancy photos that celebrate your bump — gently guided sessions, artistic editing and 1-2 day delivery for expecting mothers.
I specialise in maternity photography — creating gentle, soulful images that honour the quiet power of pregnancy. Based in Shirley (serving the Solihull & Birmingham area), I bring a calm, uplifting approach that helps expecting mothers feel relaxed, confident and beautifully themselves in front of the camera. Why choose me as your maternity photographer? My work focuses on presence and connection rather than stiff perfection. I guide each session with kindness and clarity so you can enjoy the moment: soft direction on poses, practical outfit and location suggestions, and a creative eye for natural light and composition. The result is intimate, timeless pregnancy photos and bump photography that feel authentic to you. My process is simple and supportive. We begin with a friendly conversation about your vision — the mood, outfits, and any special details you want to include. On the day I create a calm atmosphere where you can move gently, breathe, and connect with your body and baby. I work quickly and thoughtfully, balancing artistry with efficiency so the session is pleasant and never rushed. Editing is a gentle, magical touch: improving light and colour, removing distractions, and preserving the natural atmosphere of each image. I aim for soulful photographs rather than overworked retouching. Because I value fast turnaround, you’ll usually receive your edited maternity photos within 1–2 days. As a photographer whose work has appeared in photography and art publications, I bring a refined artistic sensibility to pregnancy shoots while keeping the experience warm and personal. Whether you prefer an intimate studio session in Shirley, a relaxed at-home shoot, or a nearby outdoor setting, I tailor the session to your comfort and style. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer who prioritises presence, care and creative detail, let’s create maternity photos that celebrate this unique chapter. I’m here to help you feel seen, supported and radiant — and to deliver images you’ll treasure for years to come.
