This is your time to create beautiful images that you will look back on for many years to come. You can enjoy them as a piece of wall art or just as easily as an album you prefer to view in private.

The best time to photograph your bump is around 32-34 weeks (28 weeks if expecting twins), so feel free to contact me early on in your pregnancy and we can put a date in the calendar. A typical photoshoot will last approx two hours with photos available for viewing within two weeks. Ideas for your shoot can be discussed beforehand but we can also have a chat when you get to the studio.

I am quite happy to do nude or semi-nude portraits, and there will be a selection of fabrics available for you to drape and flatter your shape. However, you need to feel really comfortable so if you would rather be fully clothed that is fine by me. Please feel free to bring a change of clothes, white and/or black tops (crop tops or blouses) with jeans works well, alternatively you may want something long and flowing, you can discuss this on the phone when booking your shoot. I am more than happy to photograph your partner as well and I try and get them really involved in the shoot.

Prior to coming to the studio (approx 3 hours before) remove any tight clothes, especially underwear and put on loose ones, hair and make-up is down to personal preference (an experienced hair & make-up artist can be arranged if you would like some assistance ) but as your hands will be part of many of the images it is nice to have had a manicure before hand.

'Mums to be' photo shoot with Claire starts at just £150. There is a range of products that should please everyone. Beautiful contemporary canvases and acrylic blocks, ready to hang on the wall, range from £100 - £695 or why not have a bespoke album, prices start from just £200.
