Maternity Photographer – Scottish Borders

Pregnancy is a powerful and fleeting chapter — even on the days it doesn’t feel glamorous.

Maternity photography is a chance to pause, slow things down, and gently document this moment before everything changes.

A calm, relaxed experience

Maternity sessions are designed to be relaxed, unhurried and gently guided.


You don’t need to know how to pose or worry about what to do — I’ll guide you softly where needed and allow space for natural movement, quiet moments and connection.


Sessions move at an easy pace, giving you time to feel comfortable and present.

📩 Book your maternity session

Sessions take place in my cosy Melrose studio or outdoors across the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Selkirk and surrounding areas. 📍

🌸 Natural, honest images

My maternity photography focuses on simplicity, soft light and genuine emotion.

There’s no pressure to look a certain way or perform for the camera. These sessions are about capturing you as you are — strong, expectant and in the midst of change.

📅 When to book your maternity session

Maternity sessions are typically best booked between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined and you’re still comfortable enough to move easily.


Sessions can take place in my Melrose studio or outdoors across the Scottish Borders, depending on what feels right for you.


📌 Book early to secure your preferred date (especially weekends).


💬 If you’re already further along — don’t worry, just get in touch and we’ll find the best option for you.

👗 A moment just for you

Pregnancy can pass in a blur of appointments, to-do lists and anticipation.

A maternity session offers a quiet moment to step back and reflect — creating images that will one day remind you of this chapter and how it felt.

Absolutely. Maternity sessions are a lovely way to celebrate your growing family together. We’ll include a mix of images of you on your own and with your loved ones. 👨‍👩‍👧💞


Completely okay. Most people feel this way! I’ll guide you gently and keep things relaxed and natural. My priority is that you feel comfortable, supported, and never rushed. 🤗


We go at your pace. There’s always time for breaks, a sit-down, or a change of pose. If you’re feeling very unwell or something changes in your pregnancy, we can talk about rescheduling. 🕊️


Yes. I’m happy to help you plan outfits for you and your family — from colours to textures and how to coordinate without being “matchy”. 👗🎨


You’ll receive a link to your private online gallery once your images are carefully edited. From there, you can choose your favourites and order prints or additional digitals. 🖥️✨
