During 2022, I decided that I really wanted to capture the early stages of motherhood and add some maternity images to my portfolio. I put out a model call in later February via my Instagram account and thankfully a previous client - the lovely Rebecca - passed the info on (Lancaster’s a small place so it’s very much word of mouth) and the beautiful Emily responded to my call.

This beautiful moorland maternity session was such a lovely shoot during last spring. Christina had responded to my model call in February and we planned the session for mid May. I sourced a soft, stretchy, lace maternity gown for Christina to wear and Mohamed wore his own outfit which matched perfectly. We’d planned for a golden hour session and I picked Christina and Mohamed up after Christina had finished teaching yoga.

For the start of the session, Jenni wore a beautiful 1930’s silk dressing gown which we had sourced from Vinted. We also tried some shots with a simple silk cover-up. I’d bought a bunch of white tulips as a prop and nod to the season. I think they work so well as a frame against Jenni’s beautiful bump.
