Pregnancy is one of life’s most extraordinary journeys—a time filled with excitement, anticipation and unconditional love before you’ve even met your baby.
A maternity session is a chance to slow down, celebrate this special chapter and create timeless photographs you’ll treasure for years to come.
Based in Melrose, I photograph maternity sessions across the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh, Northumberland and beyond.
Every maternity session is designed to be calm, comfortable and enjoyable.
Whether you prefer elegant studio portraits or the natural beauty of an outdoor location, I’ll gently guide you throughout the session so you feel confident, relaxed and beautiful.
Choose between a relaxed studio maternity session in Melrose or a beautiful outdoor location in the Scottish Borders to create timeless photographs that reflect your style.
Perfect for timeless, elegant portraits with a clean and classic look. My Melrose studio provides a warm, private space where you can relax and enjoy your session.
For those who love nature, outdoor maternity sessions make the most of the stunning landscapes of the Scottish Borders. Natural light and beautiful scenery create relaxed, heartfelt photographs you’ll treasure forever.

The best time is between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible and you’re usually still comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
Absolutely! Including your partner or older children makes your photographs even more meaningful.
If you have maternity dresses available: Yes! You’re welcome to use a selection of beautiful maternity gowns during your session.
If not: You’re welcome to wear your own outfits, and I’ll send you a style guide with helpful tips after booking.
Many families return for a newborn session after their maternity photos.
If you’re planning both, I’d love to help you capture this incredible journey from bump to baby.
