Louise Mallan is a specialist maternity photographer in High Blantyre. Her soft, feminine style captures the quiet strength of pregnancy in relaxed, timeless studio and outdoor sessions.
I’m Louise — a maternity photographer based in High Blantyre, passionate about creating timeless portraits that celebrate the journey to motherhood. My approach is quiet, personal and entirely centred on you: I aim to capture the emotion, connection and natural beauty of pregnancy in images you’ll treasure for years to come. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I bring a degree in photography, more than a decade of experience, and a devotion to creating images that feel authentic rather than over-styled. My maternity work favours soft, feminine lighting and thoughtful composition so each portrait feels classic and enduring. Whether we use my cosy studio or a gentle outdoor location in the warmer months, the result is the same — calm, elegant photos that reflect your story. How I work with expecting mothers: sessions are relaxed and unhurried. I’ll guide you through poses that flatter your bump while keeping the session natural and comfortable. You’re welcome to bring a partner, children or your pet — I love capturing those quiet family connections as part of the maternity story. I also keep a selection of wraps and dresses available to help create the flowing, timeless images many clients request. Many clients choose my Bump to Baby option — combining a maternity session with a newborn shoot — which is an excellent way to capture both milestones with a cohesive style. The ideal timing for a maternity shoot is when you feel at your most comfortable, typically around 32–36 weeks; I’ll advise you on the best slot to suit you. My goal is simple: to make the experience fuss-free and memorable. From the first enquiry to the finished images, I handle the planning, styling guidance and professional retouching so you can relax and enjoy the moment. I love turning ordinary days into extraordinary portraits that will sit on your walls and in albums, sparking smiles for generations. If you value high-quality, heartfelt maternity photography in High Blantyre and the surrounding area, let’s create something beautiful together — images that truly celebrate this special time.
