Maternity Photography in Ely
Ely Cathedral — the “Ship of the Fens” — rises above the flat Cambridgeshire fenland with extraordinary presence. The Cathedral Close and Bishop's Gardens offer intimate, sheltered settings with medieval stonework at every turn. The River Great Ouse winds through the city, providing beautiful waterside backdrops with willow-lined banks and moored boats. The wide, open fenland skies give outdoor portraits a spaciousness and quality of light rarely found elsewhere.
I cover Ely, Soham, Littleport, March, Chatteris, and the surrounding Cambridgeshire fens. Cambridge city is also reachable for combined sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book my Ely maternity session?+
Book at around 20 weeks. The ideal shooting window is 28–34 weeks, when the bump is beautifully round and you are still comfortable to move and pose.
Can I use the interior of Ely Cathedral?+
Cathedral interior sessions are arranged directly with the Cathedral and require a photography permit. I can advise on this and coordinate the arrangement for your session.
Can my partner and older children join?+
Absolutely — partners, older children, and even well-behaved dogs are welcome. The Extended package is designed for the whole family.
What areas near Ely do you cover?+
I cover Ely city, Soham, Littleport, March, Chatteris, Ely rural, and the wider Cambridgeshire fens. Cambridge sessions can also be combined.
