Bump to Baby Photography in

Glasgow & Central Scotland

From the weeks before your baby arrives to the first days at home.

Bump to Baby

You are only pregnant with this baby once. And the first days after they arrive go faster than anyone tells you (cause unfortunately it is a cliche, but one that is very true!)

Bump to baby brings both together: a maternity photography experience at a location of your choosing (at home/outdoors or at the comfort from the studio in Glasgow), and a newborn photography experience at home or at the studio, once your baby is here.

Same photographer, planned together from the start.

Why book them together

By the time your baby arrives and is safely in your arms, you already know how I work. So the newborn photography experience feels easy and familiair, with nothing to explain and nothing to organise while you’re running on very little sleep.

We plan both sessions at the beginning. We set a date for your maternity experience, discuss outfits and locations, while we make a rough estimation of the newborn photography experience depending on your due date. I will make sure to stay in touch once the little one has arrived, so that we only take the newborn photographs when your family and your little one feel ready.

Your Maternity Photography Experience

Choose where it feels most like you: my Glasgow studio at Brook Street, your own home, or the Scottish outdoors. You’re welcome to borrow from the client wardrobe, and I’ll help with styling and posing, so all you have to do is show up and relax.

Your Newborn Photography Experience

You get to decide if you would like to have those early days documented from the comfort of your home, but you are of course also welcome to come to the studio. The newborn photography only takes place when you and your family feel ready; this can be 48 hours after the little one is born, a few weeks or a few months after.

The same experience and care, regardless of which package you choose.

Every session includes the same preparation, the same attention, the same unhurried pace. What changes between packages is only the number of photographs you walk away with, and whether a luxury album is included.

✓ Pre-session video consultation — to talk through your wishes and what matters to you

✓ Session at the studio, home or in the outdoors — wherever feels right for you

✓ Full access to the client wardrobe — clothing and wraps for baby and family

✓Fully guided — All you have to do is show up

✓ Hand-retouched digital photographs delivered to a private online gallery
✓Interest-free payment plans — up to 9 months, tailored to you · credit card accepted

When you book the Bump to Baby experience, you don't need to confirm an exact date for your newborn session yet. A rough estimate is enough. Birth doesn't always go the way we expect: you may need more time to recover, or simply not feel ready. The newborn session happens when you are ready, and not a moment before. That flexibility is always built in.

Your gallery arrives within three weeks of each session. You can spread the cost with interest-free payment plans of up to 12 months.

★★★★★

‘‘Words cannot describe how grateful my partner and I are for the photographs Marieke captured during our maternity session. ‘‘

She helped us feel at ease in front of the camera, share our story, and embrace this new chapter of our lives. She takes the time to get to know your story and captures it through her work in a way that is truly her own. I have such a newfound appreciation for my body and everything she does, embracing my imperfections has been incredibly liberating and healing. We will absolutely be back to create more memories with our little one.
