Geoffrey Rickaby Photography

Whether it’s your first pregnancy or your fourth, having a baby is a miraculous journey. Although words cannot express the love you already feel for the life growing inside your changing body, a photograph of this special time can help capture your joy and anticipation. It doesn’t matter if you’re reserved or outgoing; I will create a warm and relaxing environment where you’ll be comfortable wearing as much clothing — or revealing as much of yourself — as you like. Maternity sessions are photographed strictly in the comfort of your own home. You are very welcome to have your partner, children, family or friends with you if you wish.

From experience, I find that the best time for your session is between five and ten weeks before your due date, but if you are closer that’s ok, just get in touch. Some of my clients also like to do two sessions, one much earlier in the pregnancy — this allows you to capture the growth in your belly!

Geoffrey Rickaby Photography uses professional digital equipment which allows for easy retouching and quick viewing. After the session, we will retouch your images, showing you examples in black and white, sepia, other color tones (blue, brown, red, etc.) as well as other artistic looks. We will also take away any blemishes; whiten teeth and eyes as necessary if requested.
