Michelle Maria Micallef Photography

Michelle Maria Micallef is a specialist maternity photographer based near Brymbo, working from a cosy home studio in Borras, Wrexham. With a background in Fine Art and a gentle, personal approach shaped by her own experience as a mum, Michelle focuses on creating natural, simple maternity portraits that honour this unique chapter of your life. Why choose Michelle? Her work is centred on calm, authentic imagery — not contrived poses or busy sets. She believes maternity photography should feel comfortable and restorative: a quiet space where you can be celebrated as you are. Michelle’s artistic training gives her an eye for composition and light, and she uses those skills to craft timeless, understated images that put your pregnancy and bump front and centre. What makes her approach special is the balance of creative vision and practical care. Sessions are held in a warm, relaxed studio environment with a simple, cosy setup and a small selection of dresses available for mums who would like wardrobe support. You’re welcome to bring your own outfits too. Michelle recommends scheduling your maternity session around the 30th–34th week, when the bump is beautifully rounded and you’ll feel at your best — but she always discusses timing and preferences during booking so each session is tailored to you. How she works with clients: Michelle keeps the experience relaxed and personal. She takes time to understand what matters to you, whether you want an intimate solo portrait, soft-lit silhouettes, or a gentle inclusion of partner or family. The atmosphere is conversational and comforting; Michelle guides poses with warmth and patience so you feel at ease in front of the camera. After the shoot, images are carefully edited to reflect a natural aesthetic — soft tones, clean backgrounds, and a focus on emotion and form. Although maternity is her core speciality, Michelle also photographs families and portraits as supporting services and can discuss how a maternity session might connect with future newborn or family photography. If you’re seeking a Brymbo maternity photographer who values authenticity, artistry, and a calm studio experience, Michelle Maria Micallef offers thoughtful, elegant maternity photos that you’ll cherish for years to come.
