Leanne du Plessis Photography

As a specialist maternity photographer serving Yateley and the surrounding Hampshire area, I focus on creating beautiful, timeless images that celebrate pregnancy and the story of becoming a family. I’m Leanne du Plessis and maternity photography is one of my core passions—I design each session with care so you feel confident, comfortable and genuinely yourself in the images. My approach is relaxed and highly personalised. Before your session we’ll have a pre-shoot conversation to explore the mood you want, whether you prefer a studio portrait, a soft Outdoor Sunset maternity photoshoot, or a combination. I provide styling advice and a selection of maternity gowns to help you feel both comfortable and stunning; wardrobe choices are carefully considered so your photos will work beautifully on walls and in albums. On the day I guide every pose with reassurance and clear direction, helping you to feel natural in front of the camera. My aim is to capture the light, shape and emotion of this unique time—gentle silhouettes, tender partner interactions, and the quiet strength of pregnancy. I work with natural and studio light to create an organic, fine-art feel that suits homes across Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire. Timing matters: most clients choose to book a maternity session between weeks 32 and 36 to capture a nicely rounded bump while you’re still comfortable. I keep sessions relaxed so you can enjoy the experience rather than feel rushed. After the shoot I carefully edit each image to enhance tone and clarity while preserving an authentic look; final images are delivered promptly so you can start sharing and displaying them. Why choose me? I bring years of portrait and family experience to every maternity session, a friendly, down-to-earth manner, and a genuine love for helping expectant mothers feel seen and celebrated. Whether you’re after elegant studio portraits in my warm Eversley barn-style studio or golden-hour outdoor images near Yateley, I’ll work with you to create maternity photos you’ll cherish forever. If you’d like to talk through ideas or book a session, I’m always happy to help—this is your story, and I’d be honoured to capture it.
