Jacqui Mays Photography

Jacqui Mays is a fully qualified photographer with nearly a decade of experience capturing the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy. Based near Kilwinning and working from a cosy home studio in Stevenston, she specialises in maternity photography and approaches every session with a gentle, patient style designed to make expecting mums feel comfortable, confident and celebrated. Why choose Jacqui for your maternity photoshoot? Her work blends timeless portraiture with a soft, natural aesthetic that highlights the emotional intimacy of this unique season. Jacqui offers both full-length and mini maternity sessions and brings a selection of client gowns and wardrobe options to the studio so you can achieve elegant, flattering images without the stress of sourcing outfits yourself. If you prefer a more lifestyle approach, she is happy to discuss location sessions to capture you in a meaningful environment. Jacqui’s process is warm and collaborative. Every booking begins with a pre-session consultation—either in person, over the phone or online—so she can learn your vision, discuss styling and plan the session flow. On the day she creates a relaxed atmosphere, guiding poses and using gentle direction to create authentic moments rather than stiff, posed shots. After the session you’ll receive a private online gallery with professionally enhanced images, thoughtfully retouched to preserve natural beauty while delivering polished, print-ready files. Special touches that matter: Jacqui often includes a voucher for a newborn session alongside maternity bookings, making it easy to continue your story once baby arrives. For parents who love a more artistic finish, subtle fine-art textured overlays or minimal montages can be incorporated to create heirloom-quality pieces suitable for printing and display. Based in Kilwinning and serving nearby areas, Jacqui values a friendly, approachable experience and affordable, high-quality results. If you’re expecting and want a maternity photoshoot that feels personal, calm and beautifully crafted, get in touch to chat about dates, wardrobe and ideas—Jacqui is keen to help create images you’ll treasure for years to come.
