Rosebuds Photography in Aberystwyth specialises in bespoke maternity photoshoots. Judy creates timeless, luxury and lifestyle portraits that help expecting mothers feel confident, beautiful and celebrated.
I’m Judy, the maternity specialist behind Rosebuds Photography based at Dainty Fern Studios in Newmans Garden Centre, Aberystwyth. Maternity photography is at the heart of what I do — I create bespoke, timeless portraits that celebrate this extraordinary chapter of your life. Whether you want a dramatic, fine-art gown shoot or a soft, natural lifestyle session by the coast, my aim is the same: to make you feel confident, beautiful and cared for while producing images you’ll cherish forever. My approach is personal and consultative. From our first conversation — by phone or video, whichever you prefer — we talk through styles, colour palettes and how your portraits will look in your home. I’ve built a carefully curated client wardrobe of gowns, dresses and accessories so you can choose looks that flatter your silhouette and suit the mood you want. I’ll guide you on poses that accentuate your bump and bring out your natural glow, always prioritising comfort and respect for how you feel in the moment. Sessions take place in my warm, relaxed home studio in Aberystwyth or on location across beautiful Ceredigion if you prefer the drama of the outdoors. On arrival you’ll be welcomed with a drink and a calm, unhurried atmosphere — I like to get to know you so you feel relaxed and ready to enjoy the experience. My working style is focused on creating a relaxed, empowering session where every detail is considered, from colour coordination to small styling touches that give your images a luxury, bespoke finish. I believe maternity portraits should be real and evocative: a mix of posed, editorial images and softer, candid moments that reflect your personality. After your session I’ll personally guide you through your gallery and help you choose the pieces that will become treasured wall art or albums. If you’re based in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion or beyond and want a maternity photoshoot that feels thoughtful, creative and truly tailored to you, I’d love to hear from you and create something beautiful together.
