The ideal time is between 28 and 34 weeks—when your bump is beautifully visible but you’re still feeling comfortable. Booking early is recommended, especially for weekend sessions or Bespoke packages.

In my Kentish Town studio, I work with professional lighting, curated backdrops, and the power of guided posing and styling to create timeless and artistic portraits.
This setting is ideal if you’re looking for refined elegance, full creative control, and a polished fine art look.

Studio sessions are especially suited to those who wish to continue a family legacy – creating a masterpiece often printed as heirloom wall art. These portraits are designed to be passed down, preserving your story for generations to come.

If you prefer a more casual, documentary feel, on-location options such as home or outdoor sessions offer more organic atmosphere. We’ll talk through your vision and choose what suits you best.

Both home and outdoor sessions use natural light and offer a more candid, lifestyle-inspired experience. The difference lies in the kind of story you want to tell:

• A home session feels intimate and personal. We’ll photograph you in natural light, surrounded by your own space and details. It’s ideal for capturing a soft, emotional, at-home feeling.

• Outdoor sessions bring a sense of openness, movement, and cinematic beauty – whether we’re walking through a park, finding hidden spots in nature, or creating glowing golden-hour portraits.

We’ll choose the setting that best suits your comfort, personality, and the season.

Yes — it’s a beautiful choice and a very special experience for those who appreciate thoughtful storytelling and refined detail.

Having your portraits taken in your own space, with professional lighting carefully shaped to the environment, creates a unique sense of depth and elegance.
Your home becomes part of the narrative — a backdrop not just for the moment, but for the legacy it holds.
These sessions often result in timeless, gallery-worthy images that feel both personal and elevated, capturing the atmosphere and emotion of this chapter in a way that’s quietly powerful.

This option is available when booking the Bespoke Maternity Experience.

I typically travel within a 2-mile radius of NW1 (Central London). If you’re based further out, travel may still be possible – a small additional charge may apply.
Please get in touch with your postcode, and I’ll confirm availability and any extra cost depending on your location.

We’ll have a relaxed video or in-person planning call to walk through the details.
You’ll also receive a styling and prep guide, and we’ll keep in touch via email or WhatsApp to share ideas and inspiration.
This ensures you feel fully confident, relaxed, and excited for your session.

Yes – your session is centred on you, but you’re very welcome to include a partner or someone special for part of it. We’ll plan it together so it feels meaningful and seamless.

At-home and outdoor sessions are perfect for including your furry friend.
While pets aren’t allowed in the studio, I absolutely love working with animals, and they’re always welcome to be part of your story in a home or location session.

Yes – you’ll have access to a carefully curated wardrobe of maternity dresses, wraps, and fabrics designed in line with Y7 Photography’s minimalist and timeless style. I focus on simplicity, softness, and shape – nothing that distracts from the natural beauty of your body and presence.

We often work with fabric to create elegant, sculptural looks that feel both effortless and striking.
Don’t underestimate the beauty of your own wardrobe, either – even simple pieces can carry deep personal meaning and, when styled thoughtfully, highlight your changing shape in the most flattering way.

If you have something special in mind, just share it – we can source or design a custom look based on your vision and our shared styling plan.

Yes — I can absolutely book a trusted professional hair and makeup artist for you. I work with several experienced MUAs who understand the natural, elegant style that complements Y7 Photography. You’re also welcome to book your own if you have someone you love working with.

We’ll schedule your photoshoot accordingly — whether you’re having your makeup done on-site, arriving styled, or planning a simple blow-dry beforehand.

Whichever option you choose, I’ll provide styling guidance in advance — from tips on what photographs well to how to align your look with the tone of your session.

Professional MUA rates typically range from £150–£300, depending on how long they stay with us. Some clients enjoy having their artist stay during the shoot for touch-ups, outfit transitions, or behind-the-scenes moments.

Let me know your preference, and I’ll make sure everything flows beautifully.

That’s completely normal – especially during pregnancy. You don’t need to arrive confident; you just need to arrive.
With gentle posing, calming direction, and thoughtful styling, I’ll help you feel at ease and truly beautiful.
Many women tell me their session helped them see themselves in a new light.

Yes—after the session, you’ll receive access to a private online gallery where you can view your portraits and purchase additional digital images or printed products, at your own pace.

After your session, you’ll receive access to a private online gallery and integrated print store, where you can choose from a wide range of printed products created by trusted professional print labs across the UK.
You’ll be able to select materials, sizes, and finishes yourself, and all items will be shipped directly to your doorstep.

Alternatively, if you’d like a more personal approach, you can also order directly with me. I’ll guide you through every step – from selecting the right texture of fine art paper to choosing museum-grade non reflective glass and bespoke frames for your wall art. You’ll be able to see and feel product samples, and we’ll design your printed artwork together.

Your fully edited digital gallery will be ready within 1 to 3 weeks of your session.

For printed artwork, timing depends on the type of item, when we place the order, and the craftsmanship involved.
Some products — especially fine art albums, custom-framed wall art, or folio boxes — may take several weeks to a few months to complete, particularly if they are handmade or ordered during peak production times.

This is a deliberate and thoughtful process. The goal is not to rush, but to create something truly worthy of being displayed — something that feels like art, not just output. You’re building a legacy piece, and it’s worth getting every detail just right.
