Between Light and Shadow Photography specialises in maternity photography in Edinburgh. We create relaxed, natural pregnancy photos that celebrate your changing body and the quiet joy of expecting.
Between Light and Shadow Photography is a specialist maternity photographer based in Edinburgh, dedicated to creating calm, authentic images that celebrate pregnancy. With a focus on natural light, gentle composition and emotional storytelling, we aim to preserve this unique chapter with photographs that feel personal, timeless and true to you. Why choose Between Light and Shadow for your maternity photos? Because maternity is our focus. We understand the sensitivity, anticipation and tenderness that come with expecting a child, and we shape every session around comfort and connection. Our approach is quietly documentary — we look for the small, revealing moments: the curve of a bump, a partner’s reassuring touch, the contemplative pause that says more than words. Our style is rooted in natural light and subtle, elegant editing. We favour soft palettes, considered framing and an observational eye that lets emotion lead. Rather than forcing poses, we guide you into comfortable, flattering positions and encourage natural interaction so the images feel alive and unforced. Whether you prefer intimate studio-like portraits or relaxed outdoor locations around Edinburgh, we tailor the session to what makes you feel most empowered. How we work: every maternity session begins with a conversation. We talk through timing, wardrobe ideas, and the atmosphere you want to create. On the day, expect a calm, unhurried session where your comfort is prioritised — breaks, privacy and gentle direction are all part of the process. After the shoot, each image is hand-edited to ensure a cohesive, emotive collection you’ll cherish. Our photographs are made for keepsakes: wall art, albums or simply a curated digital gallery that tells the story of your pregnancy in a way that feels intimate and honest. As an Edinburgh-based maternity specialist, we know lovely local spots and how to work with the city's light, but we place most value on the quiet, human moments you bring to the session. If you’re looking for maternity photography in Edinburgh that honours the feeling of this time — gentle, honest and beautifully crafted — Between Light and Shadow Photography offers a considered, specialist approach designed for expecting mothers who want images with real heart.
