MATERNITY BEACH SUNSET PHOTOSHOOT IN SUSSEX

Your pregnancy is such a special time, and it deserves to be remembered in a way that feels natural and true to you. Choosing the right photographer can make all the difference in capturing it in a way that feels

easy, honest, and ease.

I’m Kate, a maternity photographer based in Sussex, specialising in relaxed sunset beach photoshoots for families across Sussex and the surrounding areas.

With over 15 years of experience, my approach is calm and unobtrusive, so you can slow down, enjoy the moment, and just be yourselves while I gently capture it all. Many of my maternity sessions take place at sunset on Brighton Beach, where the soft golden light and open space create beautifully simple, timeless images.

Why Choose a Beach Sunset Maternity Photoshoot

Sunset on the Sussex coastline offers a setting unlike any other. The soft, warm light, the gentle sound of the waves, and the open space all combine to create a calm, natural environment that allows your pregnancy to shine. Unlike studio sessions, beach sunsets give a sense of freedom and simplicity, letting your images feel organic and timeless.

Every session is designed to be relaxed and unhurried. I guide only when needed, letting the natural interactions, movement, and emotions between you and your family take centre stage. This approach ensures your maternity photos feel authentic and uniquely yours.

WHAT TO ​

EXPECT DURING 

YOUR SESSION

A maternity photoshoot with Kate Priest Photography is calm, flexible, and centred around you. Most sessions last around 60–90 minutes, giving plenty of time to enjoy the beach, relax, and capture a mixture of posed and natural images.

You don’t need to worry about how to pose my experience as a Sussex maternity photographer means I know how to capture flattering, natural moments effortlessly. From walking along the shore to quiet, reflective shots, every image is created with care and intention.

WHEN TO 

BOOK YOUR 

MATERNITY SESSION

I

For the most flattering results, maternity sessions are best scheduled between 28–36 weeks of pregnancy. This window allows your bump to be beautifully visible while you are still comfortable moving around.

Sunset times vary throughout the year, so planning in advance is essential. Booking early ensures we can schedule your session during the ideal light along the Sussex coast, and it also provides flexibility if we need to reschedule for weather conditions.

WHAT TO WEAR

FOR YOUR SUNSET MATERNITY PHOTOSHOOT 

WEAR

For beach sunset maternity sessions, I recommend soft, neutral tones that complement the natural colours of the sea and sky. Flowing fabrics work beautifully with the breeze, creating movement and texture that adds subtle life to your images.

Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. When you feel relaxed, your photos will reflect it.
