Anca Musai Photography

I’m Anca — a specialist maternity photographer based in Thamesmead, South East London. I approach each pregnancy photoshoot with the same care I give my own family: gentle direction, a calm studio atmosphere and an eye for the small, meaningful details that make this season unforgettable. My work focuses on natural, timeless maternity portraits that celebrate your changing body and the love that surrounds your growing family. Why choose me? I combine over seven years of experience with a warm, down-to-earth approach. My sessions are relaxed and unhurried so you can feel comfortable and present. I provide a prep & styling guide, and a client wardrobe to help you feel confident in front of the camera — whether you prefer soft, classic looks or more styled, editorial images. I photograph expecting mothers with sensitivity and intention, using minimal posing to allow real moments and emotions to shine through. How I work: from our initial conversation we’ll discuss location (studio or a favourite local spot), styling and the mood you’d like for your photos. I recommend booking between 32–36 weeks for the most flattering bump shapes, but I’m flexible and will always work with how you feel. On the day, I create a peaceful pace with space for partners and children to join in if you’d like family portraits included. My aim is to capture connection — quiet, joyful and authentic moments you’ll want to revisit again and again. The studio in Thamesmead is a cosy, welcoming space where everything will be prepared for your arrival. I take the time to gently guide you through poses and prompts so the session feels natural, never forced. After your shoot I carefully edit each image to my signature, timeless style so your photos will remain beautiful for years to come. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Thamesmead or SE London who combines technical skill with a nurturing, personal approach, I’d love to tell your story through images.
