Fiona McKean Photography

I’m Fiona McKean — an award‑winning, fully qualified master photographer based in Dumfries, and I specialise in maternity photography. If you’re looking for authentic, elegant pregnancy portraits that celebrate this incredible moment, my approach is all about creating images that feel natural and timeless rather than following passing trends. Why choose me? My photography is rooted in a simple belief: your maternity photos should remind you of the way you felt — strong, excited, tender — long after the day itself. I favour soft, uncluttered styling and gentle guidance over heavily edited or overly stylised images. You won’t find over‑edited skin or distracting filters here; instead you’ll receive portraits that showcase the real beauty of pregnancy and the connection between you and your bump. How I work: my College Street studio in Dumfries was designed with comfort in mind. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried — I’ll chat with you beforehand to understand what you love and to plan styling and outfits that flatter and feel like you. During the shoot I use a friendly, conversational approach (I do love a blether!), helping you into poses that look effortless while I ‘faff’ with wraps, fabrics and subtle details to enhance each frame. Many clients tell me they leave the studio feeling pampered and uplifted — and with images that make them smile for years to come. My experience informs everything I do. After photographing hundreds of families and expecting mothers across Dumfries & Galloway since 2012, I know how to create a calm atmosphere where even those nervous about being in front of the camera feel at ease. I also value printed artwork — images look their best on your walls and in albums, so I’ll help you choose pieces that suit your home and tell your story. While maternity is my primary focus, I’m happy to capture gentle family moments alongside your bump if you’d like. Based in Dumfries, I work with expecting mothers from across the region and look forward to meeting you, hearing your story and creating maternity photographs that you’ll treasure forever.
