Bump Photography in Leicester
Leicester has one of the finest maternity photography settings in the East Midlands. Bradgate Park — 850 acres of ancient un-enclosed countryside in Charnwood Forest with free-roaming deer, gnarled Bradgate oaks, and the romantically ruined birthplace of Lady Jane Grey — gives bump sessions a depth and character found nowhere else in the region. Victoria Park and Abbey Park offer intimate riverside and city parkland alternatives close to the city centre.
I photograph across Leicester and Leicestershire with a relaxed, unhurried approach — taking time with the landscape and the light to create natural, authentic maternity portraits. Sessions at 28–34 weeks give the most beautiful results.

Questions
When should I book my Leicester maternity session?
Between 28–34 weeks gives the most beautiful bump portraits. Bradgate Park is comfortable to walk at any stage of this window — there are gentle paths throughout the deer park. Book from 20 weeks to secure your preferred date and season.
What makes Bradgate Park special for bump photography?
Bradgate is 850 acres of ancient un-enclosed countryside — granite outcrops, gnarled old-growth oak trees, free-roaming deer, and the evocative ruins of Lady Jane Grey's birthplace. There is nowhere quite like it in the Midlands for maternity photography with true character and depth.
Can we include a sibling or dog?
Yes — children and dogs are very welcome. Bradgate Park and Watermead Country Park both welcome well-behaved dogs. Extra time for family elements is built into the Extended Maternity package.
Do you cover Loughborough, Hinckley, and Rutland?
Yes — I cover all of Leicestershire and neighbouring Rutland including Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, and Oakham. Travel throughout the county is included.
