Bump Photography in Brighton
Brighton and the South Downs give maternity photography a genuinely rare breadth of setting. Within a short drive of the city centre you have ancient mixed woodland at Stanmer Park, chalk ridge panoramas at Devil's Dyke, elegant Victorian park surroundings at Preston Park, and the gold-toned seafront lawns of Hove. The South Downs National Park begins on Brighton's own northern doorstep — wild downland with long views across the Weald and the coast.
I offer relaxed, outdoor bump sessions across Brighton and Sussex — natural connection portraits in the golden evening light, with partner and sibling portraits warmly encouraged. Sessions are ideal between 28 and 34 weeks, when the bump is beautifully present and movement is still comfortable.

Questions
When is the best time for a Brighton maternity session?
Between 28–34 weeks is ideal — the bump is beautifully present and you can move comfortably around Brighton's parks, seafront, and South Downs viewpoints. Sessions are particularly beautiful in the golden hour light before sunset.
What makes Brighton special for bump photography?
Brighton offers remarkable variety: the ancient woodland and open meadows of Stanmer Park, the chalk ridge panoramas at Devil's Dyke, the elegant Victorian seafront lawns of Hove, and the walled gardens of Preston Park. The South Downs National Park begins on Brighton's northern doorstep, adding wild downland settings within minutes of the city centre.
Can we do a beach session at Brighton?
The Hove seafront lawns and beach are beautiful for maternity — particularly in early morning or evening light when they're quieter. For a more secluded coastal feel, the cliffs east of Brighton towards Rottingdean also photograph beautifully.
Do you travel from Cambridge to Brighton?
Yes — Brighton and East Sussex are on my regular travel circuit. Travel is included in all maternity packages across Sussex.
