Photography by Alix

I specialise in maternity photography from my garden studio in Gelligaer, where every session is centred on making you feel comfortable, celebrated and entirely yourself. My approach is gentle and relaxed: I use natural light and a calm atmosphere to create timeless images that honour this brief, powerful chapter of your life. My lens is drawn to quiet, honest moments — the curve of a bump, the way a partner holds your hand, the small interactions that reveal connection. I aim for portraits that feel natural rather than posed, using neutral tones and simple styling so the focus remains on you and your growing family. Whether you want intimate solo shots, tender partner portraits, or images that include siblings and pets, I adapt each session to reflect your personality and story. Working with me is an easy, collaborative experience. I’m passionate about guiding clients through gentle posing and prompts so even those who feel camera-shy relax and shine. Sessions take place in my garden studio, designed with NATURAL light in mind, which gives a soft, organic quality to every image. After the shoot, I carefully edit each selected photograph to maintain an authentic, timeless look and present your gallery privately online so you can view and choose images at your own pace. Many clients choose to book at a time that best showcases their bump — I’ll happily advise on timing and styling to achieve the look you want. I welcome partners, family members and well-behaved pets, and I pride myself on creating a warm, friendly environment where everyone is put at ease. My goal is to deliver maternity photographs you’ll return to again and again — images that feel like a true reflection of this special time. If you’re in Gelligaer or the surrounding areas and are looking for a maternity photographer who focuses on natural light, calm direction and authentic connection, I’d love to chat and help plan your session.
