For those of you who feel a deep connection to the outdoors, an outdoor maternity session offers something truly unique. It’s not just about getting outside for the sake of it—it’s about reconnecting with nature in a way that reflects the journey you’re on. If you’re the type of person who finds peace in the quiet of the woods or feels alive when surrounded by the open countryside, this is the session that will speak to your soul.

This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s an invitation to slow down, step away from the busyness of daily life, and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as you celebrate this powerful new chapter of motherhood.

A different experience from in-home maternity sessions

While in-home maternity sessions capture the cosy intimacy of your personal space, an outdoor session invites you to embrace the freedom and vastness of the natural world. If you feel at home among the trees, the fields, or the hills, an outdoor session allows you to breathe in the fresh air, ground yourself in the earth, and reflect on your pregnancy journey in a setting that aligns with your love for nature.

The biggest difference? Outdoor sessions are about connection to the world around you. We’ll work with the landscape, the light, and the natural elements to create images that feel raw, real, and uniquely you. It’s not just about capturing your bump, but about embracing the elements and the freedom that being outdoors brings. If being outside fills you with a sense of adventure, this is where you’ll feel most at ease and most yourself.

Consider this your anti-city break: the beauty of outdoor maternity sessions in Surrey

For mums-to-be who crave an escape from the hustle and bustle of town, think of your outdoor maternity session as a ‘reset.’ Consider this your anti-city break, your town detox—an invitation to step into nature and align yourself with its transformation.

Mother Nature, like you, is blossoming, growing, and nurturing life. This session is about grounding yourself in that connection—feeling the earth beneath your feet and embracing the absolute calm of an empty forest or a wide-open field. It’s the perfect way to celebrate this time of transformation.

What to expect during an outdoor session

My outdoor maternity sessions are set in some of the most beautiful, secluded locations in Surrey, including Farnham, Godalming, Haslemere, and the surrounding woodlands. These spots are handpicked for their natural beauty, privacy, and peaceful atmosphere, ensuring you feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m always scouting for new, unique locations that will make your session feel special and tailored to you.

Once we arrive at the location, we’ll take our time to explore and find the perfect spots where the light works best. Whether it’s a sun-dappled trail, an open field, or a peaceful grove of trees, I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural and easy, capturing both the breathtaking landscapes and the quiet moments of your pregnancy journey.

Unlike an in-home session where everything is contained within familiar walls, an outdoor session is about embracing the unexpected. The wind in your hair, the sunlight through the trees, and even the shifting seasons all play a role in creating dynamic, beautiful images. You don’t need to worry about the weather—unless it’s raining heavily, we’ll go ahead with the session, knowing that the elements only add to the richness and depth of your story.

Connecting with nature, connecting with yourself

There’s something deeply grounding about being in nature, especially when you’re preparing for one of life’s biggest transformations. These outdoor sessions are designed to help you reconnect—with yourself, with the earth, and with the life growing inside you. You’re not just taking pictures; you’re pausing to take in the quiet power of both your body and the world around you.

For those who feel most alive when they’re outside, this session is about leaning into that connection and letting it be part of your motherhood journey. Whether this is your first baby or you’re adding to your growing family, an outdoor maternity session allows you to celebrate this new season in a way that feels true to who you are.

A Natural shift with the seasons: how outdoor maternity sessions in Surrey change year-round

One of the most beautiful aspects of outdoor sessions is how the landscape shifts with the seasons, much like your own body as it grows and changes. Whether it’s the new life blooming in spring, the warmth of summer light, the earthy tones of autumn, or the crisp clarity of winter, each season offers its own kind of magic.

These moments, captured outdoors, reflect the organic beauty of pregnancy and the natural cycle of life. Just as the seasons change, so do you, and this session will be a visual celebration of that journey.
