Laidback Natural Light Maternity Shoot

Those who follow my work will know I love natural light. It's organic, changes with the time of day and the seasons and is readily available. But to use it to your best advantage does require an understanding of how to read light and also how to control or manipulate it to produce great images. Someone told me once photography is all about the light and that's so true. Nothing excites me more than when the light is great and I can create wonderful images like these without a single studio light.

I photographed Adam and Clare's wedding back in September 2013 and was delighted when Clare asked me to shoot her maternity photos. I invited them over to my home where my bedroom has the most fantastic natural light, perfect for a laid back shoot like this. Here they are at 34 weeks and their little boy is due in April. x
