Pregnancy is a quiet, powerful in-between. Before your baby is in your arms. Before everything changes.
It's a season that can feel fleeting - even while you're still living inside it.
Your body is doing something extrodinary, and yet it's easy to put off photos. You tell yourself you'll wait until you feel more like yourself...or until life feel a little less busy.
But one day, you'll look back and realise jus how beautiful this chapter truly was.
Maternity sessions are about honouring this moment - gently, naturally, and without pressure - so you have photographs that let you remember how it felt.

It's a season that can feel fleeting - even while you're still living inside it.
Your body is doing something extraordinary, and yet it's easy to put off photos. You tell yourself you'll wait until you feel more like yourself...or until life feels a little less busy.
But one day, you'll look back and realise just how beautiful this chapter truely was.

And every setting helps shape it.
You might imagine maternity photos as stiff poses or styled studio setups.
That’s not how I work.
Most maternity sessions take place outdoors, using natural light and carefully chosen locations that allow the environment to become part of the story.
Open spaces, soft textures, and beautiful surrounds create images that feel grounded, timeless, and honest.
Whether you’re walking, standing quietly, or simply breathing it all in, the focus is on connection - to your body, your baby, and the season you’re in.
You don’t need to perform.
You don’t need to pose perfectly.
You just need to show up.
you'll treasure long after
this season changes
Maternity images often become:
* The first chapter in your baby’s story
* Photographs you revisit when your children are grown
* The beginning of an album that continues through newborn and milestones
* A reminder of your strength, softness, and beauty in this season
* Images your child will one day see and understand how deeply they were loved before they arrived
These aren’t just photos.
They’re part of your family’s visual history - the moments before the moments.

Celebrating natural beauty in beautiful surrounds
My approach to maternity photography is relaxed, intuitive, and led by the environment around us. Natural light, open spaces, and thoughtfully chosen locations allow your images to feel effortless and deeply connected to place.
I’ll gently guide you so you feel comfortable and supported, while leaving plenty of room for movement, stillness, and genuine emotion. The environment becomes a frame - never a distraction - enhancing your natural beauty rather than overpowering it.
No over-styling.
No pressure to “know what to do.”
Just calm, natural photographs that reflect who you are - right now.

A maternity session designed to feel easy and unforced
Your maternity session includes:
* Guidance on location and timing to suit light, weather, and season
* Gentle direction so you feel confident without feeling posed
* A relaxed outdoor session that follows your pace
* Optional partner or family involvement
* A private proofing gallery to select your favourite images
These sessions are typically held between 30–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined and you’re still comfortable enough to move and enjoy the experience.
If you’re not sure when to book - I’ll help you decide.


Your spot is secured with a session fee, which comes off your chosen collection
Once your gallery is ready, you’ll be able to:
* Choose your favourite images
* Upgrade your collection if you’d love more
* Order prints or albums if you’d like to create something tangible
There’s no pressure to decide everything upfront.
I’ll guide you through each step - calmly, clearly, and at your pace.
That’s what I’m here for.
Maternity sessions are designed to feel grounding - even if life feels a little full right now.
You can show up as you are.
I’ll take care of the rest.
And when your baby arrives, these photographs become the natural beginning of the story that continues through newborn days… and all the little milestones that follow.
A mum, a gentle guide, and someone who knows how fast this season passes
I’m Sarah - a mum myself, and the kind of person who notices the little things: the way you rest your hands on your bump without thinking, the deep breath you take when the wind softens, the look on your partner’s face when they realise… it’s really happening.
I photograph maternity outdoors because nature has a way of stripping everything back to what matters. Beautiful light, space to move, and a setting that helps you feel calm, not “on display.”
You don’t need to know how to pose or how to act. I’ll guide you gently, keep things relaxed, and make sure you feel comfortable the whole way through - so your photos feel natural, honest, and completely you.
You take care of growing a human.
I’ll take care of remembering this part.


From sifting through selfies or photos with my kids, to a bank of professional photos I feel proud to post on my website or socials, I'm so glad I said yes to Sarah's Personal Branding Session!
Sarah shifted me from camera-shy to confident, provided helpful creative direction with posing and captured my natural essence and brand so beautifully.
If you are a heart-lead personal brand with a message the world needs to hear and see, I highly recommend Sarah at SD Photography.
