Specialist maternity photographer in Banbridge. Sara Dalzell captures relaxed, natural bump photography in her Markethill studio or at home — maternity photoshoots led by a mum of three.
I specialise in maternity photography because I truly believe pregnancy is one of life’s most beautiful chapters. As a mum of three and a trained photographer (Photography Degree, Liverpool), I bring nearly 16 years of experience to every maternity photoshoot. Based near Banbridge in my natural-light studio in Markethill, I offer calm, confident, and personalised sessions that celebrate your bump, your body and this fleeting moment. Why choose me for your pregnancy photography? I approach each session with a gentle, relaxed style that helps you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My aim is to create images that feel timeless and natural — soft, elegant portraits and intimate lifestyle moments that reflect how you are now. Many clients tell me they love that I’m a mum; I know how to make sessions easy, from choosing the best time of day for light to helping with safe posing and wardrobe choices. How I work: we start with a short chat to understand your vision — whether you want a studio bump shoot with flowing gowns and simple backgrounds, a cosy at-home session capturing tender family moments, or a relaxed outdoor portrait near Banbridge. I provide wardrobe guidance (simple, soft tones work beautifully), and I can include partners and siblings so the whole family can be part of the story. On the day I keep the pace gentle, with plenty of breaks and a focus on comfort and safety. My studio near Markethill is set up for natural, flattering light and offers a selection of wraps and blankets to style your shots. If you prefer, I’m happy to come to you — at-home maternity sessions often produce beautifully honest, lifestyle images that feel completely personal. I’m also experienced in newborn and family photography, so many clients book maternity and newborn sessions together to document the whole journey. Photography for me is about connection. I love meeting expectant parents, helping them feel relaxed and capturing photographs that will be treasured for years. If you’d like a friendly, experienced maternity photographer in the Banbridge area who treats the session with care, warmth and a mum’s understanding — I’d love to hear about your plans and capture this special time for you.
