What to expect from your Maternity Session with me at Hayley Morris Photography

 

Capturing pregnancy photos really is a true honour for me and so very special

I adore these sessions firstly because they celebrate and capture such a wonderful time in life and they also capture just how amazing and beautiful our bodies are, the changes our bodies undergo and celebrating the impending arrival of a new chapter and beginnings. 

I would love for you to feel special throughout your session, to be proud of your body and all of the amazing changes it’s undergone and going through and for me to instil confidence too. My sessions are focused on positive body image and a true celebration of the beautiful changes that your body undergoes and your journey.

Your Maternity Session...

Your maternity session is completely tailored specifically for you and my aims throughout the session are always your comfort as a priority and to produce stunning, memorable and timeless images for you to celebrate this wonderful stage in your life. They take place at my studio just outside of Malvern in Worcestershire and have many clients visit from Worcester, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.

I have a consultation with every lady prior to their session to ensure we discuss the types of images you’d like and suggest ideas for your session that you may not have considered or known were available. 

During your consultation we go through various things like what to bring with you and how to prepare for your session. 

We discuss where and how you’d like the images from your session displayed and this helps me in terms of styling too. A small album to display your favourite images in is exceptionally popular for maternity sessions as well as prints and digital images.

I have a stunning selection of gowns (both fitted and floaty), tulle skirts, bodysuits, silky dresses, silk fabric, sheer fabric and chiffon. Many women love the floating fabric imagery I create and it’s a lovely way to involve partners too. 


Which leads me on to partners perfectly

I love having partners involved in these sessions and there are really lovely ways in which to do this. They’re very welcome and we’d discuss types of images and what to wear for the session too.

In terms of styling of images my maternity sessions vary a lot. 

Images and styles range from more traditional portraits through to lots of sparkle and glitter being involved. I do offer the most beautiful and tasteful of nude images and I’m frequently booked for this reason because many women fall in love with them and how truly special they are.

After your session I work hard to edit and prepare your images for your viewing and ordering session and you’re invited back to view a slideshow presentation of the images from your session

I adore the reactions during these sessions and I’ve had several mummies shed a few tears during their viewings this year and this fills me with all the feels of fulfilment knowing that the images I’ve captured have evoked those emotions - my heart feels full.

There are collections from which you can choose various prints and digital images and the opportunity within a collection to purchase the complete digital set of images from your session which is incredibly popular. 

In addition to collections I offer the most stunning wall art which many families purchase beautiful pieces for their homes. I offer wall art to suit various styles for your home and decor.

Many mums to be take advantage of the offer I have available to book both a maternity and newborn session with me together and save a sum of money off their newborn balance 
Capturing both sessions for you brings continuity to your images, there are many photos we can capture in your maternity session that are then perfect to alter slightly but capture in your newborn session too. Your sessions are unique to you and styling can be continued with some images into your newborn session so that you have a fluid flowing story from your sessions and images will look beautifully coordinated and styled within your home 


If you’d like more details about my maternity sessions (and/or newborn sessions please get in touch with me and I’ll send the session information and we can arrange to speak about your sessions too)
