Maternity photography
in London
My maternity sessions put you at the centre, because you’re the one growing a whole new life.
This is a season full of anticipation, change, and connection. My role is to help you slow down for a moment and capture it honestly, in a way that feels natural and true to you.
Whether we meet at home, in the city, or out in the fields, the focus is never on posing you from one shot to the next. Instead, we tell your story. I’ll gently guide you so you feel comfortable and confident, and yes, I’ll absolutely help you avoid awkward angles or double chins. If you’d like, your partner or children are always welcome to be part of the session too.
These photos are about celebrating you as a mother. Your love, your strength, and this extraordinary moment just before everything changes.

She made us feel so relaxed and comfortable.
“I had spent ages looking for a maternity photographer and nearly gave up — then I found Ania. She made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, even as first-time models. We thought we’d only pick a few photos but ended up buying the whole album because they were all perfect.”

FAQ
When is the best time to book a maternity session?
Most people book their maternity session between 28 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around.
That said, there’s no strict rule. If you’re earlier or later than that, we’ll work with where you are and how you’re feeling. The best time is always when you feel ready.
I don’t feel very confident in my body right now. Will you help me feel comfortable?
Absolutely. You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about how you look.
I’ll gently guide you throughout the session, help you with flattering angles, and make sure you feel comfortable and supported. I also give advice on what to wear beforehand, and I have a small maternity wardrobe available if that helps take some pressure off.
The focus is never on perfection. It’s about how this moment feels.
Can my partner or children be part of the session?
Yes, of course. Maternity sessions can include just you, or your partner and children (furry ones included!) too, if that feels right for you.
Some families like a mix of solo images and time together, others want it to feel very much like a family session with the bump as part of the story. We’ll talk it through beforehand and shape the session around what matters to you.
Where do maternity sessions take place?
Maternity sessions can happen at your home, outdoors, or somewhere meaningful to you.
Some people love the intimacy of being at home, others prefer city streets, open fields, or somewhere in nature. I’m based in Coulsdon and work across London, Surrey, Kent, and East Sussex, and I’m always happy to help you choose a location that feels right.
What if I feel awkward or emotional during the session?
That’s completely normal. Pregnancy is a big, emotional season, and there’s no right way to feel.
We take things slowly, with plenty of space to pause, breathe, or change direction if needed. I’ll guide you gently, but there’s no pressure to perform or be “on”.
Some of the most meaningful images come from quiet moments, not big smiles.
