My secret to a romantic and classical looking pregnancy portrait is FILM. Film photography has that ‘‘something’’ that speaks to my creative soul. Every frame captured on film feels like a living memory. Most importantly, film makes you work differently - you have to slow down and relinquish control at the same time. It's as if you are not trying to catch a perfect moment, but rather how that moment FEELS. It's as if you capture memories of love wrapped in light rather than straightforward family portraits.

I don’t think we should look at maternity photography as a premium service. It's a mandatory insurance that all those beautiful memories that you make each day can be saved and cherished for you, your kids, your grandkids... If you love understated elegant and romantic pregnancy portraits on film, please do get in touch via the contact form.

These pregnancy photos will become little time machines to a past that is so incredibly dear and incredibly far at the same time. Yes, photography is that magical.

Hope you enjoy this mix of film and digital maternity photos from an autumnal pregnancy shoot in Gunnersbury Park, West London.
