An Earthy & Intimate couples Maternity session at Formby Beach | Lancashire Maternity Photographer
-THE AFTERNOON COLLECTIVE SHOOT ALONG -
I was so excited to be part of The Afternoon Collective's shoot along at Formby beach, Beth and Laura absolutely nailed the styling and whole vibe of this photoshoot, also it was amazing to be surrounded by a group of likeminded female creatives.
The forecast for the day was showing heavy rain but we showed up and shot through it and the stormy weather definitely gave us an incredible stormy cinematic vibe, ending with the most incredible glowing golden hour sunset! The dramatic moody skies and swaying tall grass all worked together to create a setting that felt both wild and serene—a perfect reflection of the journey to motherhood.
As a Lancashire maternity photographer, my aim is always to document motherhood in its most organic form. This session was all about letting the couple be themselves—wandering through the dunes, sharing quiet embraces, and feeling the ocean breeze as they soaked in the beauty of this fleeting chapter. The neutral, textured tones of their outfits blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings, enhancing the warm, earthy aesthetic that makes these images feel so timeless.
Formby Beach is the perfect location for maternity photography in the North west, offering a mix of rugged coastline, dreamy sand dunes, and an ever-changing sky that adds an ethereal touch to any session. Whether you're drawn to the wild, untamed nature of the shore or the cosy intimacy of the dunes, this location provides the perfect setting to document this transformative time in a way that feels deeply personal.
If these images speak to you and you’re dreaming of your own earthy, storytelling maternity session, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s create something that reflects your journey, your love, and the quiet anticipation of welcoming new life. Reach out today to book your session and let’s tell your story together.
