Maternity Portraits in Cheltenham

Cheltenham and the Cotswolds offer some of the most beautiful maternity photography locations in England. The Regency elegance of Pittville Park, with its columned pump room reflected in the lake; the windswept escarpment of Cleeve Hill with views across six counties; the honey-stone villages of the Cotswolds where every wall and bridge is a backdrop in waiting — each creates a completely different quality of portrait.

I photograph maternity sessions across Cheltenham and the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside, working with natural light at golden hour and in soft morning conditions. Wherever you feel most connected — your regular walk through Pittville, a favourite Cotswold village, or the wild air of Cleeve Hill — I come to you.

Questions

When is the best time for a maternity session in Cheltenham?

Between 28 and 34 weeks is ideal — the bump is beautifully prominent and you are still very comfortable moving between locations. Cheltenham's parks are green from April through to October, and golden-hour sessions on Cleeve Hill or in the Cotswold villages are spectacular all year.

Do you photograph in the Cotswolds — Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow, and nearby villages?

Yes — the Cotswold villages are among the most beautiful maternity photography locations in England. Honey-stone walls, riverside settings, and rolling hills make the backdrop extraordinary. I cover all of the Cotswolds from my Cheltenham base, including Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Moreton-in-Marsh.

Can we photograph at Pittville Park for a maternity session?

Yes — Pittville Park is one of the most elegant green spaces anywhere in Gloucestershire. The Regency pump room by the lake provides a beautiful architectural backdrop; the lakeside paths and meadow areas beyond work well for more natural, relaxed portraits. Golden-hour sessions here are particularly lovely.

What areas around Cheltenham do you cover?

I cover Cheltenham and the whole of Gloucestershire including Gloucester, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, and all the Cotswold villages. Travel within 30 miles of Cheltenham is included in session fees.
