Hampshire Maternity Portrait Photography

At Meonshore Studios maternity photography isn't about getting naked in a studio and partially covering up in voile. Nor is it all about the bump, or even about the bump with some letter blocks on it.

For us maternity portrait sessions are about you, about your partner, and about your family which is why we look to shoot on location whenever possible to show you in an environment that means something to you - allowing us to create something you would be happy to hang on your living room wall and not hide in an album or in the bedroom.

Our maternity portraits sessions are about showing you as a sometimes confident, sometimes vunerable but above all beautiful woman who happens to be about to bring a new family member into the world.

As such we don't have a specific time in your term when you need to have your portrait session but typically 7-8 months provides us with the best opportunities to showcase your pregnancy.

You can book a maternity portrait session on it's own - or combine it with our highly regarded fine art newborn sessions to create a bump and baby package. Contact us for more information and to book a session.

Hampshire Newborn Portraits

We regularly photograph newborn babies here in Hampshire taking contemporary sleeping baby portraits in our Stubbington studio close to Fareham, Titchfield, Lee-on-theSolent and Gosport. Our style has been likened to Anne Geddes, the noted newborn baby photographer although we take influence from both Anne and other US based contemporary baby photographers. We consider our newborn portrait photographs fine art newborn photography using the baby as an art form not just a record shot of your baby at birth but an image that you and they will treasure.

Our newborn portraits feature very young babies in natural sleeping poses and are often accompanied with hats, cocoons and other props capturing those first few days. We also look to capture little hands and feet, pouting lips, folds and wrinkles. After all these features last for such a short time while they are newborns and even a few months can change them and your memory of how they were at birth.

Our Hampshire newborn photography also features both parents, mum and dad holding the newborn baby. We feel it is important to have parents in the newborn portraits as well as the baby alone. Having a parent in the images gives a sense of scale between the newvborn and an adult, and makes for an interesting portrait in it's own right as well as in a series of images presented as a montage or in a portrait album or book.

We present our images as black and white newborn photographs and also colour newborn photographs. Images are taken and created using natural light whenever possible - again our custom designed Fareham studio is ideal for capturing soft natural light for most of the day, and most of the year. We rarely use flash if at all possible both from an artistic viewpoint and also to protect the babies delicate eyes.

We welcome Hampshire clients with newborns looking for poertraits from towns such as Hill Head, Stubbington, Fareham, Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Titchfield, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bishops Waltham, North Waltham, Botley, Wickham, Portchester, Warsash, Park Gate, Hedge End, Chilworth, Winchester, Romsey, Hursley, Petersfield, Liss, Liphook, Micheldever, Easleigh, Chandlers Ford, Colden Common,
