Motherhood
Welcome to
Heartfelt family photography to last a lifetime
From the moment you hear your baby’s tiny heartbeat to then holding them tightly in your arms for the very first time, motherhood is magic. Let’s cherish it.
Maternity and newborn photographs aren’t just about capturing a fleeting moment in time, they are a chance to press pause on those sweet, hazy days and, hey, celebrate you too Mama.
Because you are made of magic.
For families looking for natural photographs which capture the connection, bond and every perfect detail of your baby in a modern and effortlessly authentic way. As an artist, my photographic style is light and airy with a love for soft tones. Your collection will be filled with detailed photos of your baby and incredibly special heirloom family portraits of you all as a family to treasure, always.

Maternity Sessions
Taken ideally between 28 and 33 weeks of your pregnancy, maternity sessions can be captured in my serene studio for a curated, neutral style or in the great outdoors at sundown for a wilder feel. Each session is a special time to bond with your baby whilst feeling empowered, connected and beautiful.
Newborn Sessions
From 1 to 4 weeks is the perfect time to capture your baby’s newborn session. Each session is completely baby-led and recorded in the studio to provide a calm space and neutral backdrop to those incredibly precious first few moments with your baby.
Milestone Sessions
If you feel like you’ve missed the newborn phase, a milestone session might be perfect for you and your family. These sessions capture real moments of you and your little one interacting—pure magic. Relaxed, playful, and full of smiles, I’ll create a collection of images you’ll treasure forever.

“Emma is so talented and gentle; she makes the whole family feel so at ease. I usually avoid having my photo taken, as I do not like looking at myself in photos, but Emma’s instinct is spot on every time. She creates photos which look so natural, fresh and warm at the same time! She has the expertise and the soft touch with parents and children.”

Frequently
Asked Questions
What can I expect from a newborn studio session with you?
A calm and serene environment which takes all the stress away from you. You’ll be able to enjoy the whole experience as a family and will receive a heartfelt collection of photographs to treasure, always.
When should I book my newborn session?
I only take bookings on certain days so to save your spot it’s always best to book as soon as you can. I would recommend getting in touch when you reach 12 - 14 weeks of your pregnancy and I can reserve a session for you within 1 - 4 weeks of your baby’s due date.
Have more questions?

What is the duration of a session?
Studio sessions vary in duration from forty-five minutes for maternity or milestone session and an hour and a half for a newborn session. The newborn sessions are designed to have plenty of time for feeds, changes and cuddles as well as beautiful photographs with your family. The milestone sessions are a faster pace to keep your toddler engaged so allowing forty-five minutes is usually the perfect amount of time for them to enjoy the experience whilst capturing their personality.
How and when will I receive my photograph collection?
You will receive your fine art edited photographs via an online gallery which can be easily shared with your family and friends. Due to the time and attention I give each captured frame, your collection will be delivered within four weeks for family bookings.
What should we wear for our family session?
When you have booked your session, I will send you a welcome guide which is full of ideas on what to wear as well as other tips on how to prepare.
For newborn sessions, we will have plenty of time to change your baby throughout your newborn and milestone sessions, so feel free to plan a few outfits if you would like to. I recommend selecting clothes in light, pastel shades and pure white. I have lots of beautiful hand-knitted blankets in the studio for keeping your baby lovely and warm as I capture detailed photographs of their toes.
How do I book you?
I’m so thrilled you’re looking to book a session with me! The next step is to enquire with your preferred date and I will check availability before sending an electronic contract and payment details.
For family sessions, 100% of the payment is due at the time of booking. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive your very own welcome guide with my top tips on how best to prepare for your session.
Do you offer albums, prints and gifts?
Yes, I offer a stunning collection of fine art products which are all expertly made here in the UK using the best printing techniques and raw materials. I am passionate about encouraging you to get the most out of your investment by printing your favourite images, so I will be on hand to help and guide you through the products available which include leather-bound albums, personalised portfolios and a selection of artisan prints which are popular keepsakes and gifts.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes! Fully branded gift vouchers are available to purchase in any value with the option to add a personalised message too. Please allow three working days for your order to be processed and posted.
How long have you been photographing newborns and young children?
I first started capturing family photography in 2016 after falling in love with the art of photography when choosing my wedding photographer. I retrained and gained experience as a second shooter at weddings before stepping into family photography here in York in 2016. Clients can expect a high-end and enjoyable experience with working with me and as a Mum of two young children myself I truly understand the importance of capturing your children's milestones and celebrating them too!
