London Maternity Photographer
Zofia May Photography
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
You are growing a little human inside your body. How incredible and beautiful is that?
Pregnancy is a fleeting period of excitement, anticipation, time of bonding and falling in love with a baby you haven’t even met!
I bet you spend your days wondering what your baby will look like and imagining the joy and love you will experience as a family.
And although pregnancy isn’t without challenges, you will love remembering how you looked and felt when your body carried and nurtured your precious baby. And it’s a feeling that quickly fades away once the baby arrives…
Are you ready to document the beginning of your motherhood journey?
Your maternity photographs will help you remember the best parts: the feeling of your baby movement, the soft voice of your partner talking to your belly, the excitement of preparing for your new life as a family.
Your body is undergoing incredible changes to accommodate the growth of your little sweetheart. And despite all the uncomfortable parts of pregnancy, you will want to remember the joy of your early motherhood journey.
Let’s make elegant, timeless and heartfelt photographs that you will one day show your not-so-little baby and tell stories about the days you spent eagerly waiting for them.
“We had a stunning maternity photoshoot with my daughter Sophie and we had to get a newborn photoshoot when little Olivier arrived. Zofia was so patient and we all really had fun during our sessions. Now we have a wall full of framed photographs that we all love looking at (including anyone who visits us!). I couldn’t be happier!”

Maternity photoshoot experience
After three pregnancies I know very well that each pregnancy can be different so we’ll make sure that your session suits your needs. We can shoot in the comfort of your home or outdoors on location - golden hour (sunset) sessions are beautiful!
During the session I will gently guide you and your loved ones so there won’t be any awkward posing or fake smiling to the camera. You will mostly focus on your on your baby and other members of the family and won’t notice when I’m taking photos!
Don’t worry if your partner or children are not the biggest fans of photography, I know a few good tricks to make them feel comfortable and actually have fun during the photoshoot.
Whether it’s your first or sixth pregnancy, my aim is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful (even if you don’t feel it that day) and capture all the surrounding details that tell your story of this special journey.
“Zofia is an incredible woman and photographer. I absolutely loved our at home photoshoot… the photos are so full of happiness and excitement. Even my husband enjoyed the session! She really captured us so naturally. I’m looking forward to seeing her again once our little baby girls is born”

When to Take Maternity Photos?
Every pregnancy is different but ideally between 28-35 weeks gestation. That’s when your belly is round and you feel pretty energetic.
Life is life though so if you’ve missed this period, contact me anyway. I will do my best to accommodate a last minute booking. I had my first maternity session done 10 days before my due date so I know it’s possible ;-).

What Should We Wear For Our Photoshoot?
Once your booking is confirmed you will receive a Welcome Guide that include tips on what the to wear.
Floaty, maxi dresses always photograph beautifully. At home you can select an outfit that show your beautiful bump.
Start choosing your outfit, then select clothing for the rest of the family.

Can My Partner/Older Siblings Take Part?
Definitely YES! In fact, I highly recommend them to join, even your pets.
Participating together in a photoshoot is a beautiful way for you all to connect, strengthen the bond and capture the joy and anticipation they feel as well.
It’s a special time for everyone in the family!
If you’re interested in maternity photoshoot, then let’s be honest: you will love a newborn session
In fact, why don’t you go ahead and book both maternity and newborn sessions? That way, you’ll receive a 10% discount on Collections for both sessions!
LET’S DO THIS!
Pregnancy is such an exciting time and I can’t wait to help you freeze this moment in time to cherish for years to come! A great time to book for a maternity session is from the 28 - 35 week mark.
