CA Neil Photography

CA Neil Photography is a dedicated maternity specialist — led by Carol Ann Neil — known for creating soulful, fine art maternity portraits for expecting mothers across Coatbridge, Gartcosh and greater Glasgow. As a mother herself, Carol Ann brings a deeply personal and empathetic touch to every session, combining technical expertise with a warm, reassuring presence so clients feel beautiful, confident and completely supported. Why choose Carol Ann for your maternity photoshoot? Her work is rooted in a distinctive painterly style that favours timeless composition, muted tones and natural light. Rather than chasing trends, she aims to produce heirloom-quality images that feel like paintings — portraits you’ll be proud to display and pass down. Carol Ann positions maternity photography as an intimate celebration of transition: capturing strength, vulnerability and the quiet dignity of pregnancy. What makes the approach special is the attention to experience as much as outcome. Every maternity session begins with a thoughtful consultation where we explore your vision, wardrobe and any meaningful items you’d like to include. Carol Ann offers a curated client wardrobe and styling guidance so you can relax and focus on the moment. In the studio environment in Gartcosh (convenient for Coatbridge and Glasgow), she creates a calm, unhurried atmosphere designed to put you at ease — listening, guiding and posing gently to capture genuine emotion. How the process works: we plan the session around your comfort and best light, usually discussing timing during pregnancy to ensure the most flattering silhouettes. On the day, expect patient, considered direction and plenty of breaks; Carol Ann’s priority is your wellbeing and creating portraits that feel authentic. After the shoot, images are carefully retouched and presented in a viewing appointment where you can choose the portraits that speak to you. Many clients opt for fine art prints and bespoke wall art that complement the classic, vintage-inspired aesthetic of the images. Carol Ann’s reputation as a maternity expert is built on years of specialising in portrait and family work — her photography balances technical skill with a heartfelt, maternal sensibility. If you’re seeking a maternity experience that honours this moment with elegance, care and lasting artistry, CA Neil Photography offers a specialist, personalised path to beautifully preserved memories.
