A Quiet Kind of Magic — Maternity Shoot in Black & White

There’s something timeless about photographing two people just before everything changes.
 This beautiful couple came to my Brighton studio for a maternity session, and together we created something that felt calm, connected, and quietly powerful.

They asked for a black and white session, a beautiful choice that added a sense of depth and softness to the images. It stripped everything back to what mattered: the way they held each other, the anticipation, the stillness before the shift into something new.

We kept the styling simple and the light soft — just one light and a gentle shadow — giving space for the emotion to come through. Maternity sessions are always special, but this one felt especially tender. The way they moved together, the way he looked at her — it was effortless to capture something real.

These images are a small tribute to that quiet strength and the beauty of waiting.

If you’re expecting and want to capture this chapter in a calm, natural way — I’d love to photograph you.

Best wishes, Moa
