Pregnancy photo shoot | Miss B in the bath
The French house where Miss B's maternity photo shoot took place was full of wonders. from last century heaters to a 70s pink bath tub, this gave us more pregnancy photo shoot ideas that we could handle! Instead of the usual two hours session, this pregnancy photo shoot lasted more than 3 hours. Sometimes a house has so much character that the possibilities are endless. Miss B brought her late grand-mother's shawl which she wanted featured in the pictures and one of her frien

Newborn photography | Baby G
How wonderful to follow up a pregnancy photo shoot with a baby photography session. You remember Miss L.? Well here's her adorable baby G. We photographed baby G at 12 days old. He was full of energy and very much awake.

Remember to book your baby photo shoot in the first 10 days after birth to get the

Pregnancy photo shoot | Miss L.
It's always up to the client to decide how much skin they want to show on a shoot. For Miss L. shoot, we worked around nudity, soft pinks, and black and whites.

We even got her partner to jump in at the end of the shoot. #body #breasts #newshoot #mmaternityphotography #realbodies #realwomen #pregnancy #pregnant #maternity #nude #love #photography

'Stretch Marks of The Soul' by Jessica Zucker

It makes all the sense in the world to want to get back into our non-maternity wardrobes, to throw on some wedges, and feel like the pre-baby body is here, and here to stay. As of late, I’ve been beset by the “wait, what? You just had a baby?! How? You don’t look like you’ve ever been pre

United front: breasts without the airbrush
The shocking thing about Laura Dodsworth's pictures of 100 women's breasts isn't the flesh on show, or the many shapes and sizes, but the realisation that images of unairbrushed, non-uniform breasts seem to be so rare. "We see images of breasts everywhere," says the 41-year-old photographer, "but they're unreal. They create an unflattering comparison but also an unobtainable ideal. I wanted to rehumanise women through honest photography." Dodsworth interviewed each woman at l

Shape Your Culture
Shape Your Culture works to challenge the limited physical representation of women and girls (and increasingly men and boys) in contemporary society. SYC began as a project with young women in schools and youth groups, asking them what they wanted to see, hear, say and do. From this starting point they encouraged and facilitated projects projects where participants expressed their frustration, honed their messages and creatively used their voices. The results were truly excel
