MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY EDINBURGH
You’re looking for maternity photography Edinburgh and you have come to the right place!
I truly believe that every woman should have beautiful portraits of her pregnancy to not only look back on when your child has grown but also to share with them. My own children love to see photos of my pregnant belly and I bet yours will too!
Maternity photography is for all women of all sizes. The Beautiful Bairns studio has maternity dresses to cater for all shapes and sizes. These photos are for you, nobody else so let me style you to look and feel as beautiful as your baby will think you are.
Pregnancy is such an exciting time for your family, I am blessed to be welcomed into your bubble for a short while to celebrate it!

MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
EDINBURGH
If you are unsure what sort of maternity photography you would like I am always happy to chat things through before you book.
I know not everyone feels comfortable or confident in front of the camera but please dont worry! I am exactly the same, in fact I’m probably the worst model ever!
Despite this I had two maternity photoshoots when pregnant with my youngest and they are some of my most treasured images.
These photos don’t have to be for anyone else – they are for you! But if you do choose to display them at home I guarantee that your child will love seeing themselves as a bump. My youngest is 5 this year and still loves to point out that he was in my belly in my maternity photos!
If you already have older children then they are very welcome to join in the photoshoot. This can involve getting dressed up in a beautiful gown or keeping it much more simple in your usual family style. Unsure which you would prefer? Just drop me a message and we can chat over what would work best with your children based on their age and personality.
There is no right or wrong way to document your pregnancy so I will work with you and your style to ensure you have gorgeous maternity images that you will treasure forever and your baby will be able to look back on for years to come!
I promise you will leave my studio feeling like a queen!

What our customers say
After looking at lots of photographers I finally chose Beautiful Bairns Photography for my maternity & newborn photography. I decided instead of having a pretty dress maternity photoshoot we would do a semi nude/artistic take on it and really focus on the beauty of the bump. The ideas and research that came from Rachael made me really confident in my choice of photgraphy style. I wanted the focus to be on how beautiful the pregnant body is and that is exactly what I feel we captured. I felt gorgeous and confident which was massively down to Rachael. When I arrived it was just like meeting up with a friend. We chatted all through the maternity photoshoot and at no point did I feel uncomfortable. I am so happy with the style and with my choice to go with Beautiful Bairns photography!

WHEN IS BEST FOR MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY?
It is best to do this kind of session when you are around 30-34 weeks. We will chat over a cuppa and I will make you feel utterly fantastic! As my diary fills quickly its best to book before you are 24 weeks pregnant so you will have a range of dates and times to choose from. If you are already around 30 weeks please don’t worry I am more than happy to photograph women at any stage of their pregnancy!
