Maternity Photography Experience in Glasgow & Central Scotland
A pause. Just for you.
Pregnancy asks so much of you.
Your body is constantly shifting. Your energy, emotions, and sense of self may feel unfamiliar: sometimes empowering, sometimes heavy, often both at once. It’s common to feel disconnected from your body or swept up in the practicalities of everyday life.
This is where maternity photography can become more than photographs.
I offer maternity photography in Glasgow and across the Central Belt of Scotland that centres not only your changing body, but your inner world: creating space for you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself during this transformative season.
This experience can be booked on its own or alongside birth photography.
Unique Experience
Pregnancy is often described as beautiful, and it absolutely can be. But it can also be demanding, uncomfortable, emotionally complex, or mentally exhausting.
You may not always recognise yourself in the mirror. You may feel powerful one day and uncertain the next.
Maternity photography offers something deeper than documentation:
A moment to step out of doing and into being
Space to acknowledge what your body is carrying: physically and emotionally
An opportunity to be seen without needing to perform or explain
This isn’t about creating an idealised version of pregnancy. It’s about honouring the one you are living.
‘‘ A MATERNITY SESSION
IS JUST MAGICAL’’
A deeply personal experience, shaped around you
Every pregnancy is different. Every body is different. Every emotional landscape is different.
For that reason, no two maternity sessions are ever the same.
Time is taken to understand how this pregnancy feels for you: whether it has come easily, after loss, alongside illness, or amid the demands of parenting other children.
If you already have children, space is intentionally created for a moment with just you, so you can reconnect with yourself beyond the roles you hold.
For you, this means:
Time to catch your breath
Gentle guidance rather than posing
An experience that adapts to your energy, comfort, and needs
This is maternity photography that meets you where you are.

‘‘We went to her studio and she was very accommodating with my then 3 year old, and knew how to make everyone feel comfortable in their own skin.
She made sure my 3 year old felt included in photos.
Marieke also made me feel so empowered in my pregnant body. The photos came out beautifully. We can't wait to frame them!
We wouldn't hesitate to hire Marieke again and have already been recommending her to others!’’

Holding space for the inner world
Pregnancy is not only physical: it is deeply psychological and emotional.
Bodies change quickly. Identity shifts quietly. Confidence can waver.
That’s why this work places as much care on how you feel during the experience as on the photographs themselves.
The intention is simple:
To create photographs that you can return to, especially on days when you feel disconnected from your body, and see strength, softness, and self‑trust reflected back at you.
Again and again, parents share that these photographs become a quiet confidence boost:
A reminder that they were capable. That their body was worthy of care. That you are a true work of art.
If you feel the need to pause, that’s enough
You don’t need to feel radiant. You don’t need to love pregnancy. You don’t need to know exactly what you want yet.
If you feel the quiet pull to be witnessed, gently, honestly, and without expectation, this experience was created for you.
Investment in Your Maternity Story
Maternity photography experience packages begin at £250, with several thoughtfully designed options to choose from, each offering something unique to suit your family’s needs. Some include a larger selection of photographs, while others allow you to curate a beautiful, handcrafted luxury album: a keepsake to hold and treasure for years to come.
To secure your place on my calendar, a 25% deposit is required at the time of booking. From there, we’ll plan your session together and tailor the experience to reflect your story and vision.
Flexible Payment Plans
I want this experience to feel accessible and stress-free. That’s why I offer interest-free pre-payment plans for up to 8 months. Booking in advance allows you to spread your investment into manageable, bite-sized payments, so you can focus on preparing for your baby’s arrival, knowing everything else is taken care of.
