Back in March I photographed Shannon from Luton for her maternity photo shoot after she had contacted me via my Bump2Baby Portraits website.  All of the images you see in my post have kindly been personally approved for inclusion by Shannon herself.

I was delighted to hear that her baby boy safely arrived and is now home and doing well.  I was able to visit the
family again a couple of months ago to photograph a newborn session with them and it was really enjoyable - I'll post a selection of images from that session in a future post soon.

For the maternity session I was able to set up my collapsible studio backdrop and lights in their living room which gave us enough space to capture the shots we were after.  I was able to use a couple of different backdrop options so we got a great mixture of shots.

We started with some shots of Shannon and her partner together.  Here are a couple of the images we
captured:

I was contacted by Lisa from Kensworth in Bedfordshire a few of months ago via Bump2Baby Portraits enquiring about having a pregnancy photo shoot around her 36th week of her pregnancy.  We discussed what Lisa wanted to achieve from the shoot and I provided her with some idea tear sheets and we settled on last Saturday for the shoot.  All of the images you see here have been personally approved for inclusion in this post by Lisa herself – client confidentiality is always paramount to me.

After arriving at her home, I had a chat with Lisa and her partner about the type of images she would like me to capture and we identified quite a few from the tear sheets that she would like to try.

I was able to set up my portable studio backdrop and lights in her dining room which would give us enough space to capture the shots we were after.  I usually bring a couple of different backdrop options with me so that I can set up in pretty much any available space – though ideally, the more room available, the better!
