Seasonal Themes for Maternity Photography

Pregnancy already has its own rhythm—growing, shifting, preparing—but pairing it with the natural beauty of the season you’re in? That’s where something truly special happens. ❤️‍🔥

🌸🐝🀦 SPRING 🌞👗🏖️ SUMMER 🍂🀨🌳 AUTUMN 🀩🧥🌧️ WINTER

Each season brings its own energy, light, and mood—and whether we’re outdoors soaking in the late evening sun, or curled up in the soft glow of my studio, we can use the time of year to tell your story in a way that feels beautifully you.

🌸 Spring: New Life, Fresh Light

Spring is such a beautiful metaphor for pregnancy—everything is blooming, soft, and full of promise. It’s a time of new beginnings, which mirrors the anticipation of meeting your baby perfectly.

The vibe: dreamy pastels, delicate florals, fresh air
Where we shoot: flower-filled fields, gardens, beachside in soft light, or the studio with dried blooms and gentle textures
What to wear: flowing white or blush dresses, linen textures, delicate embroidery, floral crowns if you're feeling playful

☀️ Summer: Golden, Glowing, Bold

Summer brings warmth, light, and a bit of magic in the form of golden hour sunsets. Sessions this time of year feel expansive—bare feet, sun-kissed skin, and a real sense of freedom and vitality.

The vibe: vibrant, carefree, full of life
Where we shoot: beaches at golden hour, long grassy fields, or in-studio with lots of light and movement
What to wear: light fabrics, open backs, cropped tops with bump on show, natural tones, soft golds, or rich earthy colours

🍂 Autumn: Warm, Grounded, Nostalgic

Autumn maternity sessions carry such a beautiful emotional depth. The warm tones, slower pace, and golden leaves create an intimate and reflective mood—perfect for those wanting to lean into the deeper feelings of pregnancy.

The vibe: cozy, earthy, rich in emotion
Where we shoot: woodland paths, rust-coloured fields, or warm studio setups with textured fabrics and moody light
What to wear: rust, olive, deep browns, knits, boots, soft scarves—texture is key here

❄️ Winter: Soft, Still, Soulful

There’s something incredibly powerful about a winter maternity session—especially in studio. It's quiet. Introspective. It invites closeness, warmth, and real connection. It’s not about being cold—it’s about being wrapped up, glowing from the inside out.

The vibe: calm, powerful, minimalist
Where we shoot: the studio is my go-to here—soft blankets, dried florals, bare skin against a simple backdrop
What to wear: creamy knits, sheer robes, bold monochrome, or simple skin-to-skin moments with your bump

So—What Season Tells Your Story Best?

Whether you’re chasing golden light in summer or soft quiet in winter, we’ll shape your session around what feels right. It’s less about following trends and more about finding something that aligns with this moment in your life.

Because your pregnancy isn’t just a timeline—it’s a feeling. Let’s honour that together.

With love,
