MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER IPSWICH

MATERNITY SESSION

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

 

Pregnancy is such a magical time, full of excitement, anticipation, and love. At Little Violet Photography, I feel honored to capture this special chapter in your family’s story. A maternity photoshoot in Ipswich is more than just photographs—it’s a way to celebrate your journey, the tiny kicks, and the bond you already feel with your little one.

I love creating a relaxed, welcoming space where you can feel completely at ease. Whether you’re nervous about being in front of the camera or simply want to enjoy a fun and memorable experience, I guide you every step of the way so your photos reflect your natural beauty and the love surrounding your growing family.

Why I Love Maternity Photography

Every pregnancy is unique, and every session is a chance to tell your story. I want your maternity portraits to capture more than just a bump—they should reflect your personality, your joy, and your excitement for the future. I especially love when parents bring props or personal items, like baby shoes, ultrasound photos, or little outfits, to make the images even more meaningful.

Because this is such a fleeting moment, I work with you to create images that you’ll treasure forever. The goal isn’t just to take pictures—it’s to capture a feeling, a memory, and the connection between you, your partner, and your family.

FIRST TIME MUM? NERVOUS?

Not feeling your best? Not quite “camera ready”? A little nervous about a maternity session? I completely understand—it’s normal to feel this way. Most clients experience nerves or uncertainty when booking a maternity photoshoot in Ipswich, and you are definitely not alone.

After all, how often do we do something just for ourselves? Maybe not very often. It’s natural to wonder whether a pregnancy photography session is worth it, or feel unsure about poses, outfits, or even showing a little skin.

Over the past nine years, I’ve met and guided hundreds of expectant mothers through these same feelings. Almost every client is a little nervous beforehand, yet nearly all leave the session feeling confident, happy, and proud of the images we’ve created together. Many even tell me how much they enjoyed the experience—sometimes even more than they expected!

The best part? You get to choose your vibe. Whether you want to wear a flowing gown from my client wardrobe, jeans and a shirt, just underwear, or a combination of all three, it’s entirely up to you. I will help you feel comfortable and confident, no matter your choice.

If it helps to feel more at ease, you are more than welcome to come to the studio for a quick meet-and-greet before your session. Just send me a message to arrange a time—we can chat about your ideas, outfits, and what will make your maternity session perfect for you.

Booking a maternity photoshoot in Ipswich is simple and stress-free. Contact me to schedule a pre-session consultation, where we’ll discuss your vision, preferences, and any questions you may have. The consultation ensures that your session is tailored to your needs and that every detail is considered.

A £75 session fee is required to reserve your spot. This fee is deducted from your final order, making the booking process straightforward and transparent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I book a Maternity session?

A maternity session is a very special photoshoot, and a once in a lifetime experience as each pregnancy is unique.

It is your chance to capture your body doing something amazing, and to celebrate bringing a new life into the world.

Do I need to provide dresses?

You don’t have to, as I have a lovely range of dresses and fabrics in my studio wardrobe. 

However some ladies like to bring their own choice of dresses/underwear, and that is absolutely fine.

It is your shoot, and I want you to be comfortable and to enjoy it. The resulting photos will be very special to you.

We will have a chat either before booking or you can state your preferences on your questionnaire. That way I can work with you to bring your vision to life.

Will you edit my photos?

Yes, I will edit all images in your final gallery before presenting them to you.

I sympathetically edit skin, remove anything you want removed e.g. spots, soften wrinkles etc. I don’t do harsh skin edits unless you want me to as I like to keep my photos as natural as possible.

Can I choose my own images?

Yes, all sessions include a Viewing Appointment which is done online. This way, you can view your private gallery from the comfort of your own home and choose the images you love.

How much is it to book?

I ask for a booking fee of £75 to reserve your space in my diary. This is deducted from your final package price.

Do you provide hair and makeup?

Unfortunately I do not currently offer this service.

Please come to your appointment with your hair and makeup already done.
