Maternity
I specialise in creating maternity photoshoots that feel authentic, relaxed and beautifully you. Whether we’re capturing the gentle intimacy of an in-home session or the spontaneous rhythm of a lifestyle session outdoors, the aim is the same: to tell your story with warmth and elegance.
I also offer story-led maternity photoshoots tailored specifically to you. I would love to hear your ideas, whether that’s a meaningful place, a cultural tradition, or simply a vision you’ve always imagined for your photographs.
From there, I take care of everything needed to bring it to life, creating a session that feels effortless, intentional and entirely your own.
To see more of my work, please explore the galleries, and if you have a vision you’d like to bring to life, I would love to hear from you.
Telling the story of this quiet, blissful in-between — in a style that suits you
"Strahila was very warm and friendly and made the whole experience fun for me and—most importantly—for my husband! We have amazing memories now forever recorded in our family album; I couldn't be more grateful."
Cansu T, January 2025
"She was friendly yet professional and listened to us, understood what we wanted and captured that very well. She made sure we were comfortable and made the best of it... Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend."
Ritika, December 2025
"Strahila is the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. She captures beautiful moments without the need to pose—I absolutely love her documentary-style photography!"

The ideal window is usually between 28 and 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully rounded but you’re still comfortable moving around. Booking in advance is recommended to secure your preferred date.
I’ll guide you personally — whether you prefer flowing dresses, casual outfits, or something more statement. The goal is to choose clothing that feels authentic and comfortable, and that works beautifully on camera.
Many families blend in-home, outdoor and lifestyle documentary styles into a single session. We can move between your home, a favourite local park, or another meaningful location in Surrey or South London.
Your maternity session is all about celebrating this special chapter naturally — no stiff poses or forced smiles. We can shoot at home, outdoors, or at a meaningful location in Surrey or South London, and older siblings are welcome to join in the fun. The result is a collection of images that feel authentic, tender, and uniquely yours.
Each maternity session typically lasts around 2 hours. This relaxed timeframe gives us plenty of space to capture natural moments, move between locations if you wish, and include siblings or other family members without feeling rushed.
