What it costs
How much does a maternity photoshoot cost in London?
Between £225 and £695. An outdoor session starts at £225, a studio session at £295 and an at-home session at £395, and from there the maternity photoshoot cost moves with two things only: how long you book, and how many edited photographs you want.
There is nothing else to add. No travel charge inside London, no sitting fee, no separate charge for the consultation, and the edited photographs are included rather than sold back to you afterwards. If you have been quoted a maternity shoot cost elsewhere that looked lower, that last point is usually where the difference sits.
Every one of our maternity photography prices is published below rather than sent on request, so you can work the total out before you get in touch. It is worth comparing on what a maternity photo shoot costs in full, rather than on the opening figure, because the number of edited photographs is what actually changes between packages.

Averages
The average cost of a maternity photo shoot
Most London bookings land on the studio two-and-a-half-hour package or the outdoor two-hour one, which puts the average cost of a maternity photo shoot somewhere around £325 to £395.
The average cost of maternity photos moves more than the session price does, because it depends on how many images you keep and whether you add prints or an album. If you are gathering quotes, compare what is included rather than the opening number - a lower session fee with the photographs sold separately usually finishes higher.

Good to know
Pricing FAQ
Do I get a 3D virtual gallery with my session?
Yes - every Opus Lumière session of two hours or more includes The Growing Gallery, a private, password-protected 3D gallery of your finished photographs that you walk through and share with family. It is free for two years and gains a floor with every shoot. One-hour and 1.5-hour sessions don’t include it.
Can I combine maternity and newborn?
Yes - many clients book maternity and newborn photography together for a seamless story from bump to baby, at a combined rate.
What’s the difference between the options?
Outdoor uses London’s light and landmarks; studio offers controlled light and privacy; at-home is the most intimate. Many choose a hybrid.
What is included in your maternity photoshoot prices?
Every price includes a fully guided session, a private online gallery of edited images, and the option to add high-resolution digital images, prints and albums. Nothing essential is charged as a hidden extra.
Do you offer maternity photoshoot packages?
Yes. There are four packages for each setting at different price points - the same whether you call it a maternity or a pregnancy photoshoot package. Each sets out the session length and the number of edited photographs included.
Are pregnancy photoshoot prices the same as maternity prices?
They are identical. Whether you search for pregnancy photoshoot prices or maternity shoot prices, you are booking the same session and the same packages with us.
Why do maternity photoshoot prices vary?
Prices vary with the photographer experience and session fee, studio overheads, session length and outfit changes, and the prints, albums and additional digital images you choose to keep.
How do I book and secure my date?
Simply choose your package and get in touch to secure your preferred date with a 50% deposit. Pregnancy photoshoot package balances are due before your session, so everything is settled in good time.
What session types do your prices cover?
Every price covers the same session types: a calm studio session, an outdoor session in a London park, or a relaxed session at home. Tell us your vision and we will recommend the right one for you.
What is the average price for maternity photos?
We can only speak for our own. The average price for a maternity photo shoot varies enormously across London, so we publish every package price instead - ours start at £225.
Do you publish a maternity shoot price list?
Yes. The full maternity shoot price list is on this page, with the setting, the number of edited photographs and the price of every package.
Do you have an hourly maternity photoshoot rate?
No. Packages are priced by session length rather than a rolling hourly maternity photoshoot rate, because the edited photographs and the private gallery are included in the price rather than billed on top.
Are there any extra maternity shoot charges?
None. There is no travel charge inside London, no sitting fee and nothing to pay for the pre-session consultation. The figure on the price list is the figure you pay.
Do maternity photo session prices change by location?
Only in the sense that the setting sets the starting point. Maternity photo session prices begin at £225 outdoors, £295 in the studio and £395 at home, and there is no extra travel charge anywhere inside London.
How many weeks pregnant should I do a maternity shoot?
Between 28 and 36 weeks, when the bump is full and you are still comfortable to stand and change outfits. Book after your 20-week scan and we will hold a date in that window; for twins we suggest a little earlier.
Is 1 hour enough for a photoshoot?
For an outdoor or at-home maternity session, yes - the one-hour package gives 20 hand-edited photos across two or three set-ups, and it is the right length if you are close to your due date. Book two hours or more for outfit changes, your partner and children, and the 3D gallery.

What you are paying for
What affects maternity photography prices
A few things explain why maternity photography cost varies from one studio to the next. Knowing them makes it easy to compare quotes fairly.
Experience and direction
Photographers with specialist maternity training tend to charge a higher session fee, because they know how to pose, light and reassure you so every image flatters. That expertise is the difference between snapshots and timeless portraits.
Prints, albums and digital images
Professional-grade prints and fine-art albums add to the final cost, as does the number of high-resolution digital images included. Our packages bundle a generous set of edited images, with additional digital images available should you fall in love with more. Many parents purchase a few extra of their best images and timeless pictures to share with family.
Location, time and the pregnancy photoshoot cost
Studio sessions can carry higher overheads, while outdoor locations and longer sittings with extra outfit changes also influence pregnancy photoshoot cost. We keep ours transparent, so you always know what your price includes. Before your session we discuss your vision so you feel comfortable in front of the camera, whether you picture a calm studio photo shoot or an outdoor photography session in a north or west London park - Hampstead Heath or Holland Park, say. Feeling unsure is completely normal, and we guide you throughout.
Packages
Maternity photoshoot packages: what is included
Every maternity photoshoot package includes a relaxed, fully guided session, a private online gallery of beautifully edited images, and the option to add prints, wall art or an album. Choosing a package rather than paying per image usually works out better value, and means your collection is ready to treasure from day one.
If you are weighing up quotes elsewhere, look closely at what each price point covers: the number of digital images, whether files are high resolution, how many outfit changes are allowed, and whether prints are included. Our packages spell all of this out, so there are no surprises after your session. We take only a limited number of bookings each month, focusing on creating timeless pictures and amazing keepsakes for every family.
Worth every penny
Is a maternity photoshoot worth the price?
The value of a maternity photoshoot
When you weigh up the cost, it helps to think about what you are really paying for: a single afternoon that becomes a lifetime of memories. Pregnancy is fleeting, and a thoughtfully planned session turns these few weeks into beautiful images you will return to for years.
Every package pairs the session with a set of hand-edited digital images, and prints or an album can be added afterwards if you want them, so the value goes far beyond files alone.
Most parents tell us it was worth it many times over once they hold the finished prints. An experienced photographer captures not just the bump but the feeling of this moment, in timeless portraits no phone snapshot can match.
That is why families choose to turn those images into heirloom artwork, and why we believe a maternity photoshoot package is an investment in your family story, not simply an expense.
Comparing pregnancy photoshoot prices with confidence
Every option is clearly priced, so you can compare the maternity pictures cost of every package - and any pregnancy shoot prices you have been quoted elsewhere - side by side and choose with no pressure.
