Specialist maternity photography from Gillard Studios in Gelligaer. Jordan’s award‑winning, fine‑art approach and bespoke gowns create confident, timeless pregnancy portraits in a relaxed studio.
Gillard Studios is a specialist maternity photography studio based in Gelligaer, serving Pontypridd and South Wales. Our work is rooted in a fine‑art, luxury approach: we craft maternity and pregnancy portraits that celebrate strength, beauty and the quiet intimacy of expecting mothers. Jordan’s internationally recognised eye — combined with Sally and Sophie’s studio‑led styling and posing support — creates an experience that feels calm, considered and entirely yours. Why choose us? We treat each maternity session as a bespoke portrait commission. Rather than a rushed shoot, we work with you to design imagery that reflects your personality and style. Our studio wardrobe of couture gowns and draped fabrics is selected to flatter every shape and to create the timeless, gallery‑quality images we’re known for. For clients who prefer a more intimate look, we also offer tasteful lingerie and implied‑nude portraiture, photographed with sensitivity and artistry. Our philosophy is simple: create portraits you will be proud to display. From the first consultation to the cinematic reveal, we prioritise collaboration and comfort. We begin by discussing your vision, suggesting styling and posing that will best capture your connection with your bump, partner or children. On the day, Jordan leads the lighting and composition while Sally or Sophie assist with dressing, posing and making sure you feel confident and at ease throughout the session. After the shoot we present your images in a relaxed, cinematic viewing appointment where we work together to select the portraits that speak to you. Each chosen image is hand‑retouched to our exacting, award‑winning standard and can be produced as fine‑art wall pieces, framed prints or keepsake albums — all curated to suit your home. Jordan holds notable industry accolades, including MPA recognition, and our studio reputation is built on years of specialist maternity practice. We believe in a no‑pressure approach: invest only in the portraits you love. If you’re seeking a luxury maternity photoshoot in Gelligaer that combines technical expertise, considered styling and a warm, family‑centred studio experience, Gillard Studios is here to capture this extraordinary chapter with care and artistry.
