Q1: I'm not comfortable taking my clothes off - do I need to be naked?
A1: Certainly not, it is completely
up to you. You can wear your own clothing or I have a collection of
drapes, shirts, vest tops and skirts that you may like to try. The aim
is to capture your pregnant form, whether through clothing or bare skin
- it is up to you and how you feel on the day.

Q2: At what stage during my pregnancy is the best time to have photographs taken?
A2: I have taken photographs
of pregnant women between 34 and 40 weeks. I would recommend week 36/37,
this gains a balance between capturing your bump at its best and comfort,
whilst also minimising the risk of your baby arriving before the booking
date. If this happens of course, there is no cost to you.

Q3: Will my photographs appear on your website?
A3: Only with your permission.
I completely respect the privacy of my clients and always check which
images if any my clients do not wish to be used. This is reflected in
the sample of photographs displayed on my website, with most people
appearing 'anonymous' because only their bump is visible.

Q4: My baby is unpredictable, what if things don't go to plan on the day?
A4: The best photographs are
taken of babies and children in their natural state, be that sleeping,
smiling or even looking sorry for themselves, I am capturing the essence
of what makes them unique. I am very used to babies having had two of
my own, and I'm quite prepared to do a bit of waiting around in order
to get that special shot.

Q5: How can I view the photos?

be presented in a variety of formats (prices available on request).
