White Shell Photography is a specialist maternity photographer based in Acocks Green, Birmingham. Led by Danny Maguire, our approach combines a deep technical knowledge of light (Danny holds a BSc in Film Technology) with a storyteller’s eye to create pregnancy photographs that feel honest, graceful and deeply personal. We position ourselves as maternity experts — dedicated to helping expecting mothers feel confident and celebrated at every stage of their pregnancy. Why choose White Shell for your maternity photoshoot? We focus on creating an atmosphere where you can relax and be yourself. Maternity sessions are intimate by nature, so we take time to get to know you first through a consultation via Zoom, phone or in person. This conversation helps us design a session that reflects your style—whether you prefer soft, classic studio portraits, dramatic bump photography or natural, environmental images in nearby parks and locations around the Midlands. Our studio on Marlborough Road is set up for comfort and creativity. During the session you’ll receive a style guide, full use of backgrounds and props, and a calm, supportive space to change and prepare. We keep sessions relaxed and unhurried, giving you the freedom to move, connect with your partner or include family members if you wish. The best images come when you’re comfortable — we’ll do everything to make that happen. After the shoot you’ll enjoy a private viewing with refreshments where we walk through your retouched images together. Professional retouching is included, and we can help you turn favourite shots into heirloom wall art or a premium album if you’d like. We also respect your wishes around image use; if you prefer your images remain private, we honour that without question. If you’re expecting, we recommend getting in touch around 25 weeks so we can plan for a session at the ideal 30–36 week window. White Shell’s maternity photography is crafted to empower and preserve this remarkable time—beautifully, honestly and sustainably. Get in touch to book a consultation and let’s design a maternity photoshoot that feels like you.
