Celebrate the beauty of pregnancy with relaxed, professional maternity photography designed to capture this special chapter in your family’s story.
Pregnancy is an incredible journey, and maternity photography allows you to pause and celebrate this fleeting moment before your baby arrives. At Infinity Photographic Studios in Chester le Street, we specialise in maternity photography for families across Durham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland and the wider North East.
Our studio sessions are calm, relaxed and completely tailored to you. Whether you prefer elegant, fine art portraits or natural family images including your partner and children, we will create photographs that feel timeless and meaningful.
We recommend booking your maternity photography session around your 20 week scan.
The ideal time for your photoshoot is between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined but you are still feeling comfortable.
If you are planning newborn photography with us too, we can pre-book both sessions together to ensure availability.
We discuss styling, colours and the type of portraits you love.

Neutral tones, fitted dresses and flowing fabrics photograph beautifully.
We have a selection of dressing gowns and simple dresses that you are welcome to borrow.
I always suggest bringing your favourite pair of jeans with a nice top such as a crop top. You can leave them unbuttoned, this can look very stylish.
And if you want some of our signature images then bring your favourite lingerie along to the shoot too.
Absolutely, family images are always welcome.
If you love our winged photos then I also have a small pair of wings for children.
I can usually fit you in within a week or two, sometimes in a matter of days.
You will come back and see your images on the big screen using projection.
We recommend booking around your 20 week scan to ensure availability. Sessions are typically photographed between 28 and 34 weeks. You will know when is best for you.
If you are lucky enough to be having twins then we generally suggest you come in a little earlier.
If your little one decides to arrive sooner than expected, we can transfer your session into a newborn photoshoot or reschedule where possible.
Or you can come in for a family photoshoot a little later, the choice is yours.
Absolutely. Every session is gently guided. We focus on flattering angles and soft lighting so you feel relaxed and look your best.
Alan was absolutely amazing and made me feel so at ease and comfortable. I had never done anything like this before and he made my experience such an enjoyable one. My pics are amazing. Thank you
Alan was brilliant for my maternity photoshoot. The experience was extremely comfortable for me and my partner.
He was very professional as well as down to earth and understanding towards my comfort levels being heavily pregnant. He talked me and my partner through every step and didn’t rush anything. Would highly recommend Alan and the photos are beautiful and made me feel beautiful and confident again.
Will definitely be returning for new born photoshoot when baby girl arrives.
Thank you again.
I was nervous about booking a maternity photoshoot. I went it feeling quite vulnerable, so I took my husband with me.
From the moment I arrived, i felt welcomed. The photoshoot was discussed about what I wanted from it, anything I wanted to incorporate. It was explained how I needed to stand and throughout the shoot I was shown snippets of what the photos were looking like.
For anyone who is thinking of doing a maternity photoshoot – I would highly recommend you just take the plunge and go for it! Take a partner with you and use the photoshoot to your full advantage. Everything is private and secure, and there is no judgement at all. Im so pleased with my photos so much so I have booked a newborn photoshoot with my new little bundle!
Such an amazing experience taking my maternity photos.
Lack of confidence was a main issue of mine however Alan made me feel so comfortable and talked me through the whole experience. And it won’t be a one to forget either.
Having your photos taken in-front of anyone can be a nerve racking experience, let alone such intimate photos, however Alan put me at ease and never pushed me to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with.
He made me feel relaxed and happy within showing off my growing stomach and with every photo I grew more confident.
Warm and inviting environment, Alan allowed me to try different props and even when I challenged him with incorporating flowers into the shoot he was more than keen to oblige.
“ Imperfections” are now no longer a thing after Alan allowed me to see them in a different light.
Couldn’t recommend enough! Already booked in for newborn shoot and can’t wait to see the results.
