Yorkshire Baby Photography & Family Photography
My baby photography and family photography sessions in Yorkshire can take place at your home or out on location. You'll find no white backdrops, forced smiles or babies in baskets here!
THE GALLERIES.
Yorkshire Newborn, Baby, maternity & Family Photography
Children change so fast. One minute they're this wriggling, hiccupping, rib-kicking little ball safe inside your tummy, and the next they're here and screaming bloody murder if you even think about putting them in their own cosy bed. They quickly transform into a babbling bundle of squidgy folds and chubby smiles, and then before you know it they're off and you never sit down again! I know from watching my own little girl change that although the days can sometimes (i.e. more often than not!) seem so very looooooooong, the years go fast and it's so wonderful to be able to look back through photographs of her and see her grow.
So if you are having or have recently had a baby, or if your little ones are just growing up too fast and you want to create some beautiful memories together, then scroll down to the grid below to see some of the gorgeous munchkins I have had the pleasure of photographing over the past few years!
Oh, and you'll probably notice that there are a lot of baby photography galleries. The changes that little ones go through in their first year of life are incredible, it's no wonder they're often so grumpy and fussy! So I've created a few different collections to show you what you can expect from a baby shoot with me at each stage. One of my favourite things is when a family books me for a series of shoots over their baby's first year, so that I get to watch their newest addition grow. You can find more info about booking multiple sessions on my pricing page.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION.
I always recommend doing newborn shoots (with babies up to 4 weeks old) at your home where you're familiar with your surroundings, and you don't have to worry about getting yourselves and a newborn baby dressed and out of the house on time! My newborn sessions are best descried as lifestyle shoots - no props, no tiny costumes, just lots of lovely natural photos of you guys and your latest edition cuddled up together at home.
For older babies 3 months and above the choice is yours - I've done plenty of older baby shoots, maternity shoots and even full family shoots both at clients' homes, or in outdoor locations. We are very lucky here in Yorkshire to be spoilt with so many gorgeous places for photos so if you don't have a particular place in mind then just ask as I have loads of recommendations in and around Leeds (such as Roundhay, The Hollies, or the city centre), York (Museum Gardens, Rowntree Park, or the Minster perhaps?!), Harrogate (Valley Gardens and Harlow Carr are both perfect), Ilkley (the moors or Middleton Woods), and further!
To find out more about what to expect when you book a session with me then make sure to visit my portrait info page, and then fill in my contact form to book your shoot! But for now pick a gallery below and enjoy!

LAURA & DAVE // Spring has sprung in York!
I spent last Saturday capturing these guys and their beautiful wedding at York Oratory & The Guildhall York. Laura & Dave opted to see each other before their ceremony, and then wander the city for photos. We met up at The Museum Gardens in the morning so we could get loads of photos in the abbey ruins, then headed over to the Minster where the cherry blossoms were still in bloom, and finished off at Chapter House Street - my favourite cobbled street in York 🥰 It was lovely to have so much time for all this, and it meant that Laura & Dave could spend all of their drinks reception with their guests.
This was my first visit to @guildhallyork and it`s an absolute gem of a venue. It`s so light and spacious inside and I love the huge stained glass window.
Massive congratulations Mr & Mrs M, thanks for having me!

GRACE & MATT // Last Friday saw me back at The Woodman Inn Thunderbridge for the wedding of this gorgeous pair!
The forecast was iffy all week but we got dry skies for most of the day. So we made the most of the outdoor space at The Woodman, with drinks on the patio listening to the babbling stream and the birds in the trees ❤️
Grace looked amazing of course - I absolutely loved the floral touches on the sleeves of her wedding gown. And Matt scrubbed up good in his uniform too! 👌
Thank you Grace & Matt for trusting me to capture your beautiful wedding; I had so much fun with you guys and can`t wait to share more!
