Outdoor Maternity photo shoot Thundersley, Essex | Pregnancy photos in nature

I love it when my customers are just as enthusiastic as me about a shoot! When I first turned up for Caitlin’s maternity photo shoot at Pound Wood in Thundersley she was wearing the most gorgeous dress and crown which was just so perfect for the woodland setting we went for. Caitlin chose a place where herself and her partner often come for woods walks which I thought was really lovely. It’s always nice to create a personal touch to your photos in some way!

After taking the first few shots I knew Caitlin's vision for this shoot was going to come to life!

My outdoor maternity shoots in Essex have become increasingly popular and are perfect if you want those more relaxed, natural shots. 

I have several locations all over the Essex area that are perfect for maternity shoots that I can suggest to you, or just like Caitlin you can choose a place that’s personal to you or just an area you like the look of! I also do seasonal outdoor photo shoots which include the bluebells, yellow rapeseed fields, sunflowers, wheat fields, lavender etc.. To find out more information on these and when they are in season you find this here.

I suggest booking at least 3 weeks in advance and aim to have the shoot take place when you’re around 32-37 weeks. This is just a rough guide and of course is totally up to you when you have this done.
