Harriet Buckingham

Wonderful local photographer Harriet Buckingham is offering a fantastic pregnancy shoot, a lovely gift to make this time even more special. Take a read to find out more – Your pregnancy is a wonderful time to be cherished and I really feel for you that lots of the things that make your time special have not be accessible for you, shopping for the first tiny baby grows,  reassuring appointments with midwives and coffees with Friends, Mums, Aunts and all your family that want to be part of this unique time with you.

I would love to offer you 30mins of my time, a maternity photo shoot, to capture some beautiful images to treasure forever.  A break away from this madness a moment to enjoy and contemplate your pregnancy and to feel special.

The shoot will take place at High Elms Country Park come rain or shine, if rain is forecast, I have some fabulous umbrellas and a lovely bump and wellies go perfectly together.   Wrap up warm perhaps a lovely jumper and matching beanie or accessorise with a scarf or wrap.

The shoot will follow social distancing measures and following current guidelines can only be you and I.  we will meet in the Cuckoo Wood car park a short drive past the main Beech car park.

 

I hope this has given you some inspiration for gift ideas, and the majority can be done online from the comfort of your home!

 

Thanks for the Read
