Beautiful Bairns Photography in Edinburgh specialises in maternity photoshoots that celebrate your pregnancy. Rachael offers wardrobe styling, a calm studio and an inclusive, empowering experience.
Beautiful Bairns Photography is a dedicated maternity specialist in Edinburgh, led by Rachael — a warm, down-to-earth photographer who believes every pregnancy deserves beautiful, timeless portraits. With over a decade of experience photographing expectant mothers, Rachael’s approach is personal and reassuring: she listens to what you want, guides you through styling choices and creates a relaxed studio experience so you can simply enjoy being celebrated. Studio sessions are focused on you. The client-closet of maternity gowns, silks and accessories has been curated to flatter all body types and styles, from bold glamour to soft, natural looks. If you prefer, you can bring your own outfits or include siblings and partners — Rachael will help plan outfits so the final images look cohesive when displayed in your home. For a truly pampering morning, professional make-up is available via a trusted local artist to help you feel confident and camera-ready. Rachael’s style balances flattering, classic portraiture with natural, emotive moments. She takes time to find flattering light, gentle poses and those unscripted smiles that make maternity portraits feel authentic. Many clients return to the studio for further family photography, but at its heart Beautiful Bairns is proud to be a maternity specialist: the sessions are designed to honour this unique season and to create heirloom-quality imagery you and your child will treasure. The experience includes thoughtful support from booking to delivery. Before your shoot you’ll receive guidance on preparation and outfit ideas so you arrive relaxed. After the session, images are carefully retouched and presented in a viewing appointment where you can plan how to enjoy your photographs — whether as fine wall art or in personalised albums. Beautiful Bairns uses professional print partners and software that lets you visualise your chosen images on your own walls, helping you choose sizes and styles that suit your home. Rachael’s background in working with families, her photographic training and her belief in inclusive, body-positive maternity photography make Beautiful Bairns a confident choice for expecting mothers across Edinburgh. If you want a calm, stylish and supportive maternity photoshoot that celebrates this incredible moment, Rachael will make you feel seen, supported and utterly fabulous.
