Specialist maternity photoshoots in Clydach, Swansea. Jenny McDonnell creates elegant bump and pregnancy portraits in-studio with bespoke gowns, relaxed direction, and personalised planning.
I specialise in maternity photography from my studio in Clydach, Swansea — a relaxed, welcoming space where expecting mothers can feel comfortable, celebrated and truly beautiful. My approach is about creating flattering, timeless portraits that honour this incredible moment in your life. I love to “bring out that goddess” in every mum-to-be, combining flattering light, classic posing and natural connection to create imagery you’ll treasure. Sessions are tailored around your needs. I typically invite mums at around 30 weeks so we can capture the curve and confidence of pregnancy, and I provide a selection of handmade, bespoke maternity gowns to add a touch of glamour if you wish. You’re welcome to include your partner and children in the session — those family connections often make the images even more meaningful — but the focus remains on celebrating your pregnancy and the story of this season. My style is warm, intimate and timeless. I work with simple, elegant backdrops and carefully chosen wraps and gowns so nothing distracts from you and your bump. During the shoot I guide gentle poses that feel natural and comfortable, helping you relax and enjoy the experience. If you’re camera-shy I use a calm, conversational manner to put you at ease; if you prefer a more stylised look we’ll plan outfits and lighting to achieve that effect. Planning and care are central to what I do. Before your session we’ll discuss colour schemes, gown choices and the mood you want — that way everything is ready when you arrive. I aim to make the whole process effortless: from the initial chat to the relaxed studio session and the viewing where you choose the images and wall art that suit your home. Photography has been my passion for over 15 years. I love capturing life’s milestones, and maternity work holds a special place in my heart. If you’re in Clydach, Swansea or the surrounding area and want maternity portraits that feel personal, elegant and expertly crafted, let’s talk. I’ll help you plan a beautiful session that reflects who you are and celebrates the arrival you’re preparing for.
