Hi, my name’s Abi and I’m a photographer specialising in maternity and baby portrait photography at Studio 22 Photography in Leyland. I graduated from the University of Huddersfield with a degree in photography and have been working in the industry ever since.
I am passionate about photographing mothers to ensure they look confident, feminine and powerful, while always focusing on elegance.
I have years of experience working in a studio and have developed all the skills necessary to create stunning photographs of this special time in your life. My time at university, combined with my experience working in the industry since graduating, has helped me develop a high level of technical skill, and I’ve also had the chance to widen my understanding of how mothers are represented in popular culture. Not only has this helped me refine my aesthetic, but also given me valuable insight into the relationship between mothers and their image and the issues that surround this. You can have confidence you are in great hands.
I always try to make photoshoots fun and light-hearted; there is no judgement here. So why not come for a photoshoot yourself!
Q&A
What should I expect during the photoshoot? The photoshoot usually lasts around one hour which we can take at your pace and have breaks if we need to. We normally do 2-3 outfit changes with a few different background and lighting styles, so you have variety in your gallery. The style of the photoshoot is whatever you feel comfortable with; this could be a casual everyday look or a sexy dress style. You might not feel sexy right now but I promise you you’ll look good in everything we have at the studio- so best to be open to ideas!
This is my first photoshoot; how do I pose? I understand that for some people this is their first time at a photoshoot and photography studio so it can be daunting; but don’t worry I’ve got your back. Relax and let me do the work!
What should I bring? Some mothers like to bring memorabilia to include in the photos including scan photos and baby’s first teddy however this is not essential, bring whatever you’d like! We have loads of dresses at the studio so don’t worry about bringing too much. We normally ask you to bring different coloured sets of underwear including a black, white and strapless set. But don’t go out and buy anything- we can work with what you have!
Who can join in the photoshoot? Anyone!!! Family members, friends and even pets are welcome at the studio.
