Maternity Photography in Hertfordshire

Maternity photography studio in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

From the moment you get in touch to the delivery of your final images, I ensure a seamless, personal experience built on clear communication, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for creating something beautiful for you to treasure. Every maternity session takes place in my Hatfield studio, a calm and light-filled space many describe as a luxurious retreat. Designed for your comfort and relaxation, it’s the perfect setting to pause, reflect, and celebrate this special time. To make your experience completely stress-free, I can arrange a professional hair stylist and makeup artist so you can simply arrive and enjoy being pampered before your session begins. You’ll also have access to my carefully curated client wardrobe, featuring a collection of beautiful, hand-selected dresses chosen to flatter your bump and photograph beautifully. Pregnancy is such a remarkable journey, filled with anticipation, love, and transformation and these moments deserve to be captured beautifully. Many of my clients find their maternity photoshoot to be a meaningful opportunity to slow down and truly embrace this season of life.
Relax and let go of any expectations  I’ll take care of every detail, from styling advice to gentle posing guidance. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, radiant, and confident, so your natural beauty and connection shine through in every image. Let’s celebrate this next step into motherhood together and capture the moments you’ll never want to forget. I recommend booking your maternity photoshoot between 28–32 weeks, when your bump has that perfect round shape and you’re still feeling comfortable. A £100 session fee secures your date. Digital collections and artwork can be purchased separately at your viewing appointment, held around one week later.

Why Professional Maternity Photography Matters

A maternity photoshoot is more than just beautiful images, it’s a way to pause and honour this extraordinary moment before everything changes.

So much of pregnancy is focused on what’s to come. This session is your chance to simply be, to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the life you’re creating. Through soft lighting, natural posing, and thoughtful styling, I’ll help you see yourself the way your loved ones do: strong, beautiful, and radiant.

Every image becomes a reminder of your strength, the love that already surrounds you, and the excitement of what’s still ahead.

My Approach to Maternity Photography

My approach to studio maternity photography is relaxed and organic. There’s never any pressure to pose perfectly I guide you gently through each moment so you always feel comfortable and confident.

We’ll capture a collection of soft, emotive portraits and timeless, elegant images that reflect your personality and style. Whether you love simple, minimal looks or more styled, textured tones, every detail is chosen to flatter you and make you feel your best.

Many families choose to include their partner or older children, adding that extra layer of love and connection that makes your maternity photographs even more meaningful.

FAQ

ask me

anything

I like to customise maternity sessions as much as possible. After booking your session, we will discuss all the options, learn which images you love most, and figure out what I have in the studio and what you will need to bring. 

I have a small studio wardrobe; most of the time, during maternity shoots, we use some items from my studio wardrobe and some that my clients bring. 

My style is elegant, minimalistic and timeless. If you are looking for images with large tule gowns etc, I am not the right photographer for you 

No, you do not receive any images with your booking fee. 

The session fee secures your date and time, your 2-3 hour session and ordering and viewing appointment.  

Digital files, albums and artwork are purchased after seeing your images at the viewing appointment , so you can choose exactly what you love.  

It would be an honour to photograph your beautiful family.  Simply fill out the contact form or email me directly at hello@meganfosterphotography.co.uk and I will be in touch within 48 hours to chat about all of the details involved in reserving your newborn session.

If you’d like to become a Collective Member or learn more about which option is right for you, simply pop me an email I’d love to help you plan your sessions

Sessions take place in my beautiful studio, warm and cosy. Located in Hatfield , Hertfordshire. 

Most of my clients tell me this. Don’t worry; you’re in good hands. I will instruct and guide you into every pose, telling you exactly where to look, where to place your hands, etc. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, relaxed and empowered. 

You can arrange it yourself or I can book a hair and makeup artist to come to the studio. 

Absolutely! We will discuss it all when we will plan your maternity session. 

Maternity sessions usually take 1.5-2 hours

I recommend booking 1-2 months in advance; however, sometimes, I can accommodate last-minute bookings.

Maternity sessions are best captured between 29 and 36 weeks when your belly is nice and round and you aren’t too uncomfortable.
