Alice Alves Photography specialises in maternity photography in East Kilbride. Alice, a fully qualified Master Photographer and award‑winner, creates calm, natural bump portraits in her cosy studio.
I specialise in maternity photography from my cosy studio in East Kilbride, capturing the quiet, tender moments that make pregnancy so unforgettable. As a fully qualified Master Photographer and Scotland’s Maternity & Newborn Photographer of the Year (MPA 2022), I bring years of experience, a gentle approach and a real love for photographing expectant mothers. My style centres on calm, natural bump portraits that feel relaxed and genuine. Whether you prefer soft, timeless images in neutral tones or something a little moodier and dramatic, I work with you to create a look that reflects your personality. I know how fleeting this chapter is — I’m a mum of three and I treasure the photographs I have — so my aim is to create images you and your child will love for life. Sessions are designed to be unhurried and comforting. I’ll guide you with poses and wardrobe suggestions (simple, flowing fabrics and neutral colours work beautifully), and I’ll use studio lighting and carefully chosen backgrounds and props to keep the focus on you and your bump. Family members are welcome to join if you’d like some photographs together, or to include older siblings for that special connection. Practical care is part of my process: the studio is warm and welcoming, I provide a relaxed atmosphere with tea and coffee, and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable throughout. I recommend booking at around seven months for the best bump shape, and I’m happy to discuss timings to suit your pregnancy. If you’re looking for a Bump-to-Baby story, I also offer combined maternity and newborn options so you can treasure both stages together in a keepsake collection. My training in newborn work and my award-winning background mean I understand how to handle both parts of that journey with safety and sensitivity. Choosing me means choosing a photographer who cares — someone who will listen, put you at ease, and create heirloom images that celebrate this remarkable time. If you’d like a warm, professional maternity photoshoot in East Kilbride with an experienced, award-winning photographer, I’d love to welcome you to my studio and help capture your pregnancy beautifully.
