Documentary maternity photography: An unposed maternity session with Diana Hagues Photography | Cambridgeshire family, baby and maternity photographer
Documentary-style maternity photography is about capturing your true memories of your pregnancy right now, the feelings and details of your home that your baby will be welcomed into soon.
It might be hard to imagine that as soon as your new baby arrives that you and your family’s life will look very different.
The nine months you have been patiently waiting to meet your baby will soon be over. The hospital check-ups, visits with the midwife, baby scans, not to mention getting ready the baby’s nursery, buying bits of furniture and clothes. It’s all preparations mixed with emotions and feelings for your baby’s imminent arrival.
If you are welcoming your first baby or a sibling for your growing family, the excitement and anticipation are pretty much the same. You may have talked for hours into the night with your partner about what the new addition will mean to your family. Or shared bonding moments and stories with your children to help them feel comfortable about their new sibling.
It’s a wonderful and exciting time — a special journey in your lives and a remarkable chapter in your story too.

All those details above all go importantly into your story. It’s those steps you’ve taken that marks this journey in your pregnancy that you are going through right now. It’s not set up — it’s real, it’s honest.
