Meet your Photographer with a Photography Studio located in west London.
Hi, I’m Nemi, I am an artist who specialises in studio maternity photography and newborn photo shoots.
For me, being a photographer is about creating an incredible experience for each and every person who steps in front of my camera.
There is a moment during every photo shoot when I stop being a photographer, and you stop being a stranger. A fleeting second when my camera delivers more than an image, and captures a sense of you as a person. Gone in an instant yet preserved forever, it’s the magic of those moments that makes me love my job.
My lovely photography studio is a welcoming space where you can instantly relax in.
My photography style is creative and soulful.

HERE'S WHAT I PROMISE TO DO:
Everything I can to make you feel relaxed and comfortable, the more fun you are having the more natural your images will be.
Give you lots of tips about how to stand in a flattering way for your body type, where to put your hands (and what to do with them).
IF THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN EXPERIENCE YOU WANT TO HAVE, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Maternity Photography in a London Studio
Maternity Photoshoot with Couples/Your Loved Ones
Its time to embrace and celebrate your gorgeous baby bump and the exciting transition into motherhood with an elegant pregnancy photoshoot at my London studio.
Pregnancy is a momentous and special time in the life of any woman and her partner. Whether you’re simply looking to capture the essence of your transition to motherhood, or wish to proudly show off your pregnant body in all its glory, I’ll help you capture this milestone in your life exactly the way you’d like to remember it. I wholeheartedly encourage your partner to also participate for a few frames at least to capture this special time in your lives. If you already have children or pets, they can of course join in too!
As an expectant mum, you are probably feeling a huge mix of emotions - excitement, anticipation and above all, the feeling of unconditional love for this new life growing within you.
As a professional portrait photographer, it’s my job to make you feel completely at ease and to enjoy every moment of your pregnancy photography session in my large photo studio. I am also great with dads-to-be too and ensure your session is a relaxed and fun experience. No stiff poses here!
Maternity photography is my craft and I strive to exceed my client’s expectations at each and every session and deliver images that you will truly love.
It’s a great way to remember this special and exciting time in your life. I recommend any time after week 28 of your pregnancy as ideal time for your photo session. Or from week 24-28 if you are expecting twins.
The Dress Collection for your Pregnancy Photoshoot
Embrace your inner goddess during your pregnancy by looking like one! You’ll already be glowing from the inside; the right clothes will make your maternity photography experience even more memorable. A beautiful maternity dress can make a mum-to-be feel incredible and fill you with joy and confidence. The fun you are having will inevitably show in your sensational maternity photos.
Why do pregnant ladies choose to have a few portraits taken in the elaborate dresses during their bump photo shoot?
Well, these handmade dresses are opulent and intended to add a sprinkle of theatre and drama to your photoshoot. That is what studio photography is all about. For a few hours you can step into a different world and enjoy your session in a real photography studio. I compare the feeling to one of going to behind the scenes of a theatre. Who isn’t curious and doesn’t want to experience that?! I feel a high street photography studio brings out that nostalgia in us. The creative lighting, the posing, the props and the elaborate dresses all adds up to this truly fantastic experience. One you haven’t had before.
Designed to make you look and feel like a Goddess.
Artistic Maternity Portraits
Maternity Masterpieces
THE artistic maternity portraits
As you will experience, the whole process of photographing Maternity Masterpieces is a lot of fun. I have tried and tested many ways and techniques of throwing fabrics in ways which create a good measure of drama. As you can imagine, by now I am somewhat of a master photographer when it comes to capturing the flowing the fabrics at just the right moment. We are after opulence and my west London studio is just the perfect space to create these stunning maternity portraits.
I cannot imagine attempting to photograph these outdoors - you will be as close to these as to a maternity nude as can be. Most of the fabrics are translucent silks hence it doesn’t make sense to wear anything underneath. Not the best look if you are standing in a local park on a busy Saturday!
When you are selecting your images we will discuss which style of Masterpiece appeals the most to you. Afterwards my highly skilled professional retoucher will add their skilled magic to create the most amazing pregnancy photograph.
The Experience
London Maternity photoshoot - your guide.
BEFORE THE SESSION
I find a lot of mums-to-be prefer to rely on the many years of experience I have as a maternity photographer and trust I will capture the portraits they have dreamed of. I always encourage all my clients to have a chat with me as it’s important for me to find out a little about you. To find out about your expectations for your session and discover style of maternity photographs you have envisaged for your photo shoot.
As some bumps make a rather late appearance I do find myself shooting portraits as late as with just a few days before the birth of your baby. It’s never too late to have a pregnancy photography session!
-
My photography studio is located close to the centre of London at 92 Kew Road. TW9 2PQ. It's on right on the high street and only a five minute walk from Richmond Train Station.
I do not photograph in parks or on outdoor locations as most require permits plus have too many people and dogs in the background.
-
Not sure if to bring your family to your maternity shoot? Most mums-to-be prefer to have a few hours of peace and quiet to themselves hence you don't see too many family photographs on my website. It's seems dogs are a bit easier to control and happier to sit quietly after showing off their obedience skills. Either way, family members (furry ones too) are very welcome to join you in your photoshoot.
-
Before your photoshoot, we’ll discuss the style of pregnancy portraits you would love for me to capture for you.
Maternity Photography sessions last between one and a half to three hours. All depends on how many portraits you have in mind.

I am sure you’ll love seeing your portraits for the first time via a specialist programme which helps you narrow your favourites with great ease.

How to book your maternity portraits
I'd love to hear from you so that we can chat more about your London maternity photography session. You can reach me on 07740866964.
The Photoshoot
Apart from loving the end result, I would say that the photoshoot itself is the most exciting part of your experience. For a lot of women being pregnant is a once in a lifetime event.
Having your photographs taken in a high street photography studio is one of those bucket list experiences to tick off your list.
The excitement of going behind the scenes, the magic of studio lighting, seeing a professional camera (yes they are BIG) rather than snapping photos on your phone, having your photographs taken by a photographer who specialises in maternity portraits and has over fifteen years experience, all add up to you having a fabulous and enjoyable time during your session.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR PREGNANCY PHOTOSHOOT
Of course nothing is required for the most popular maternity portrait I shoot in my studio. You may have guessed it's a maternity nude!
If you are not keen on baring all, then do bring something that accentuates your bump.Of course I do have a full client wardrobe in my photography studio. It includes maternity photoshoot dresses, white Hawes & Curtis shirts from famous Jermyn Street tailors (perfect with jeans of just underwear), crop tops and even black underwear in case you forget to bring some with you. And yes, you do take it home with you!
Just bring yourself and let me work my magic on you.

Yes and if fact I prefer to photograph my clients on weekends are they tend to be a lot more relaxed. You can choose to have a session in the morning or in the afternoon. Late afternoon photoshoots are also available if it suits you better.
-
I do recommend a few great salons with are close to my studio. Both are very experienced and make you look stunning. I always recommend you have a clear idea of the look you are after to ensure the end result is how you imagined it to be.
