powerful transitions
When we carry and grow our babies, we go through so much change. Our bodies, our minds and hearts are forever transformed. These photography sessions focus on you and all that you go through on the rollercoaster journey of becoming a parent. My photography shoots are unscripted and uniquely intimate, focusing on the most beautiful moments in your parenting journey. So whether you are looking for empowering pregnancy photography, emotive photographic storytelling of your birth story or reflective lifestyle photography during your postpartum, there is one of my services for you.
postpartum photography session
The postpartum period is often a rollercoaster of joyous moments interspersed with the ordinary sometimes mundane realities of parenting life. My postpartum photography sessions aim to capture it all with particular focus on your connection with your baby. My motherhood photography makes the ordinary, extraordinary and I capture the moments that will be memories forever. This session focuses on all of the chaotic beauty of this time, capturing all of their sweet details and the life changing moments that we often forget. The photoshoot takes place in your home where you and your baby feel the most comfortable with no need to be anything other than what you are.

what my clients say
"I highly recommend using Lorraine as a photographer, she took so many beautiful photos of me and my son in the comfort of my own home. I felt so at ease with Lorraine and the photos really do show that."

How Does It Work?
If you like what you see and you would like to work with me, let's have a chat.
We can talk through your photography desires and how I can help you bring them to life. We can then find the package that works for you. Once we have talked through the ideals we will then set a date that works for you. I will then be there to capture you in all of your glory whether this is chilled out at home in the comfort of your own space or stepping out into the wild, in a local location. This is all about you.
FAQs
Why is the shoot in my home or location?
My motherhood photography sessions are aimed to help you feel comfortable and empowered. We often feel the most comfortable in our own homes or in places that matter to us. There is no pressure to be anything other than yourself (or for your home to be pristine). The focus of the images are on you and a beautiful location can add to your images too. By not paying for a studio, I can also make my photography sessions financially accessible.
What should me and my baby wear?
Postpartum sessions aim to capture you as you are. There is no need to be or wear anything other than what you would normally be or wear. Skin to skin is so important during this period of time and makes for beautiful images. Keeping things simple and neutral. Babies just in nappies and mamas in soft, comfortable fabrics create a perfect balance for your images.
Can my partner and older children be in the photographs too?
Yes, of course. My photography sessions focus on you and the family that you have grown. When including more people in the session, it takes a little more time to capture you all together so there is an additional £75 charge that will be added to the session fee.
Do you use props in your photography session?
My photography style focuses on capturing you and your baby as you are, so there are no props or unnatural poses. The aim of the sessions is to capture the honest and real moments in your postpartum journey including your connection during feeding, the soothing of the tears and the love that has been grown.
