Specialist maternity photography in Belfast by Little Fox. Ricky Woodside captures intimate, natural pregnancy portraits in-studio or at home, creating graceful keepsakes with a relaxed, personal approach.
Expecting a child is a unique, luminous moment — and at Little Fox Photography we treat maternity photography as a celebration of that transformation. As a dedicated maternity specialist based in East Belfast, Ricky Woodside brings three decades of experience photographing people to create graceful, intimate pregnancy portraits that feel both timeless and deeply personal. Ricky’s background in editorial and fashion photography (including years working in Milan) informs a confident eye for composition, natural light and flattering poses. He has channelled that expertise into a calm, unobtrusive approach for maternity work: the emphasis is on who you are in this moment, not on elaborate setups. The result is elegant, natural imagery that captures your glow, the curve of your bump and the quiet anticipation of growing your family. How we work: your session is tailored to what feels best for you. Studio sessions typically last up to an hour in our warm, friendly East Belfast studio where soft natural light, curated props and simple, neutral backdrops help create classic portraits. If you prefer the comfort of home, we can extend the session to a more relaxed, two-hour at-home shoot so you have space to change outfits, take breaks and create images in a familiar environment. White and neutral-coloured clothing often photograph beautifully; if you’d like, Ricky can arrange a make-up artist and hair stylist to help you feel pampered on the day. The experience is calm and collaborative. Ricky guides gentle posing and encourages natural movement, so whether you want quiet, intimate portraits alone or relaxed shots with a partner, the atmosphere stays warm and stress-free. Little Fox places great value on connection — both the connection between photographer and client and the connection captured in the final images — so every photograph is crafted to become a cherished keepsake. Based in Belfast and serving families across Northern Ireland and GB, Little Fox Photography is a specialist you can trust for maternity photography. Book a session to capture this extraordinary chapter with thoughtful artistry, relaxed direction and decades of people-focused expertise.
