Maternity photography in Croydon, near to Bromley. Picture Partnership is a professional photography studio in Shirley, ready to capture the beauty of your pregnancy in timeless photographs.
Pregnancy is a truly magical time in your life – a journey filled with anticipation, excitement, and love. At Picture Partnership Photography we believe in celebrating these precious moments by creating beautiful, timeless memories that you can cherish forever.
As specialists in maternity and newborn photography, we make sure each session is as unique and special as you are. Sessions are about an hour but are never booked back to back so you can relax and not feel rushed.
Many of our maternity clients choose to return for their newborn baby session with us, and we truly value their continued trust. If you would be interested in our Bump to Baby journey, we have special packages just for you and you can find out about our newborn baby photoshoots here.
Customised Maternity Photoshoots Just for You:
Every pregnancy is unique, and we want your maternity photoshoot to reflect your personal style, preferences, and journey.
During a pre-consultation, we will discuss your vision for the session, explore any ideas you may have, and address any concerns or anxieties you might be feeling. This ensures that your maternity photoshoot is designed specifically with you in mind, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
The Best Time for Your Maternity Photoshoot:
We understand that every pregnancy is unique, and the perfect time for a maternity photoshoot can vary. For the best results, we recommend scheduling your session around 28 to 34 weeks, when your bump is more pronounced and you’re still comfortable. However, no matter when you choose to book, we’re here to capture the joy and beauty of this special time in your pregnancy.
We also understand that life can get busy, and we are more than happy to accommodate last-minute maternity photoshoots as well!
Creating Stunning and Intimate Shots:
Whether you’re comfortable with more intimate skin shots or prefer a more modest approach, our expert photographer Caroline will ensure your maternity photos are flattering and tasteful. We use soft, flowing materials to create a serene and intimate atmosphere, perfect for capturing your pregnancy glow.
If you’re feeling a bit shy, we can use silhouetted lighting to enhance your images and keep you feeling confident and comfortable.
Rest assured, all photos will be professionally retouched as part of our package to ensure they look their very best.
Including Your Partner:
Incorporating your partner in the session is a wonderful way to celebrate this time together.
Whether it’s for an intimate embrace, a gentle kiss on your baby bump, or a tender moment of love shared between the two of you. We can capture those heart-warming connections in a way that will forever remind you of the special bond you share during this incredible journey.
Incorporating Excited Siblings into the Photoshoot:
Including siblings in your maternity photoshoot is a beautiful way to capture the growing family bond before the arrival of your little one.
Whether it’s a joyful moment of your older children holding your baby bump, sharing a sweet kiss on your belly, or simply showing their excitement for the new arrival, these moments add an extra layer of love and warmth to your photos.
Family photoshoots are also an amazing way to celebrate the role your loved ones play in this magical time. These photos not only celebrate the anticipation of your baby but also showcase the love and connection between everyone awaiting the little one’s arrival.
Make it Yours:
You are welcome to bring any personal items that hold special meaning, such as a first teddy bear, family heirlooms, or anything else that would add a personal touch to your photographs. If you’d like to change outfits during the session, we invite you to bring along multiple looks, though we do not provide dresses.

How It Works:
Your Stress-Free Maternity Photoshoot Experience
1 – Book Your Date
We suggest any time around 28 to 34 weeks is ideal. This is when your bump is rounded, whilst still feeling fairly comfortable, making it the perfect time to celebrate with a photoshoot.
We require a non-refundable £39 deposit to book, which is deducted from your photo order. Don’t worry if you’re not feeling well on the day, your deposit is transferable with a minimum of 4 hours’ notice needed.
2 – Pre-Consult:
We discuss your ideas and visions for your photoshoot, taking the time to understand your style preferences and planning any specific details you would like to incorporate into the shoot.
We offer flexibility by providing consultations in-person or over the phone, and for your convenience, we also send out a detailed questionnaire to ensure we capture your exact needs.
We will also ask if you are looking for wall art, albums, prints or digitals so we ensure we deliver you with the perfect set of photos to suit.
3 – Photoshoot Day!
On the day of your photoshoot, we want you to feel completely at ease. Our studio will be prepped according to the details discussed in your pre-consultation, creating a relaxed environment to capture your best moments. Once your session is over, you’ll have the chance to browse through a selection of frames, wall art, and other products in our studio. We’re happy to help you choose the best options that suit your style, space, and budget.
We have free residential parking nearby and are conveniently located close to a bus stop, so getting here is a breeze.
4 – Choosing Your Photos: In-Person Viewing
We believe that in-person sales provide the best experience and allow us to guide you through the process of selecting your images and products. About a week later we invite you back to the studio for a viewing appointment, where we’ll present a curated gallery of around 20-50 images from your photoshoot, depending on your chosen service.
Our photographers will carefully select the best shots with examples of subtle retouching to ensure they look absolutely perfect. We’ll then create a slideshow for you to enjoy with a cuppa, as you decide on the images you’d like to order. We strive to make the payment process as simple as possible.
5 – Payment Plans:
We strive to make the payment process as simple as possible. To help make it easier for you, we offer flexible payment plans so you can invest in the perfect collection of photographs without any added stress. Our clients typically spend between £250 and £2,000 depending on the products they choose.
6 – Order Collection:
Once your order is ready, it’s time to celebrate! We invite you to book a collection appointment with your photographer to ensure your experience with us remains personal and enjoyable. We’ll be there to answer any questions and ensure that every detail is just right. We love seeing happy clients and are excited to welcome you back in the future, whether for a family session, another milestone, or simply to update your wall art.
