Leicester maternity photographer

MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

 An experience you are blessed with for such a short amount of time in your life, the miracle of the new life growing inside of you. Maternity photography creates once in a lifetime memories - you can’t get them back! Photographs trigger memories, feelings, emotions and will help you remember your bump more vividly.. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Not only is is a beautiful memory and a keepsake for yourself and your partner, but for when your child is older, to see images of their pregnant mummy as they were developing inside of you will be an amazing feeling. Show your child you loved them before they were even born!

​

You will always remember finding out you were pregnant, seeing your baby during the scans, hearing your baby's heartbeat and feeling them kick for the first time, but will you remember your beautiful bump and how amazing you looked? (Even if you don't exactly feel it sometimes). Capturing your body as it changes to bring a brand new person into the world is something you will treasure forever.

​

Swollen feet, weight gain and bloating can take the joy away from your pregnancy, you may not be feeling your best and stepping in front of the camera may be the last thing on your mind. But it's my job as a photographer to make you feel and look amazing. You may not feel like being photographed right now, but years from now you will be grateful you did when your pregnancy is a distant memory. You want your child to look at these images and know how proud you were and how much you were looking forward to meeting them. You want them to know what a privilege it was to carry them so close to your heart. It’s going to mean the world to them.

​

Your bump photoshoot is tailored to you and your style, you can wear as much or as little as you like, you can include your partner and other children if you wish, or do it alone. I have outfits and props in my studio, but I also welcome you to bring along your own clothes and outfits if you would feel more comfortable this way. This can all be discussed in details upon booking to make your maternity photoshoot as bespoke as possible.

​

I recommend having your pregnancy photoshoot anytime from 28 weeks, when your bump is beautifully big and you are glowing, comfortable and relaxed. Of course you know your body best and if you'd like your maternity photoshoot to be before or after this when you're feeling your best is no problem at all. Your session should be booked in advance, ideally anytime from your 20 week scan. Deposit is payable on date of booking. The photoshoot takes place in Inspirique's photography studio in Syston, Leicestershire where I can easily control temperature, lighting and safety issues and also have access to various props and backgrounds.

​

At the end of your photoshoot, we'll get you booked in to come back to see your beautiful images, so make sure you bring your upcoming schedule! Scroll further down the page for what happens after your session.

AFTER THE SESSION 

​

Once your pregnancy photography session is completed, I will process the images to the highest standard. I edit the images down to give you a range to choose from and spend time turning the images into beautiful art work. There will be a mixture of black and white and colour. If requested, your images can be re-touched so you will not see scratches, bumps, rashes, bruises and stretch marks. (I will never do this unless requested before prior to editing). I will choose what best suits the images based on skin tones of the subject and the range of fabrics, colours and textures that have been used in the styling.

As I know you will be very keen to see some photo's, I will get a sneak preview to you within 72 hours of the session, my usual way of displaying these images is through my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/Inspirique), as it is a great way to tag and share with your friends and family, and also I can show potential new customers my up to date work. However, if you wish to keep your images private, this is no problem, but please inform me of this when making your booking or at your photoshoot.

​

You will then come back to see your gallery, and to choose and pick your chosen package and images. Photo viewings usually take place within 3-6 weeks from the day of your photoshoot, which we will schedule in at your session so you know when you're coming back to the studio. Please note: Your viewing appointment is the only time your images will be available to view and purchase. All purchased images are kept for 12 months, any un-purchased images are removed permanently.

FAQ 

​

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions I get regarding your maternity session, if your question isn't listed below, or if you'd like to discuss something in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.

When do I need to book my session?

Please please please do not leave it until it's coming up to your due date, spaces are very limited and I would hate to have to turn you away. Sessions can be booked anytime after your 20 week scan, earlier the better to avoid disappointment.

How do I book?

You can book online via the booking form at the bottom of this page here. You will be required to pay a £99 deposit to secure your chosen date and time.

​

When is best to attend my pregnancy photoshoot?

I recommend coming to your bump photoshoot anytime from 28 weeks pregnant, but if you'd rather have your session done before or after this time scale, that's fine. We will discuss this upon booking.

Do I need to bring anything?

l have everything l need. If you have your own prop ideas to make your photoshoot unique to you, feel free to bring anything along with you.

​

Can I bring other people to the session?

I am more than happy for partners and children to come along, and I also allow you to bring your Mum, Sister, best friend etc for moral support if you are doing it alone, however, I do not allow more than one adult with you during this unless agreed prior to the shoot.

T&C's 

​

Deposit of £99 is payable on date of booking which is a retainer to secure your session, this will guarantee that no one else books me on your chosen date and time. Please be aware that the deposit is a non-refundable retainer and the deposit payment is legally a non-refundable retainer payment as renumeration for other work that is lost as a result of the retained date. In the very unlikely event I have to cancel, I will pay you back the deposit in full. I have up to the agreed photoshoot date to refund you. At your viewing session, if you should decide you do not wish to purchase a single time, the shoot will have cost you nothing and the £99 deposit will be returned to you. No refunds will be given for non-attendance or cancellation.

The £99 fee is a deposit only and does not include any images. This is deducted from your chosen package upon viewing. The basic, standard and premium packages are the only packages to choose from for your baby photoshoot.

​

If you wish to book a bespoke add on to your package, such as the bump progression, maternity milk bath, or pregnancy powder shoot, this must be paid for alongside your deposit and is in addition to the packages. These are add ons only and are not deducted from your final package like the deposit is. Add ons are non-refundable.

Price is for the photoshoot to take place at Inspirique's photography studio based in Syston, Leicestershire only. Outdoor maternity sessions can be arranged with plenty of notice.
