Newborn photographer in Leeds
I cannot thank Heather enough....
“I cannot praise Heather enough for the gorgeous newborn photos we had taken thanks to my lovely friend who bought us a Gift Voucher. Heather made us feel totally at ease, and our baby soon settled as soon as she was Heather’s arms.
After the photo shoot, we were always kept up to date with the progress of our pictures, and when it came to viewing them; we kept them all. We’re so grateful for the fantastic images Heather captured that we can keep forever. I cannot thank her enough.
See you in a year for Jesse’s first cake smash!” – Beth & Baby Jesse

Had my newborn photo shoot and we loved it from start to finish! Heather is very patient and made sure she got the photos we wanted. Highly recommend!

Maternity Photography
Pregnancy is such a powerful and emotional chapter, and it deserves to be remembered beautifully.
My maternity sessions are designed to be more than just photos of a bump. They are a chance for you to feel confident,
feminine and radiant while celebrating the incredible journey into motherhood.
Whether you love soft and natural portraits or something more styled and dramatic, your session will be tailored to you.
My aim is always to create elegant, flattering images that make you feel amazing and give you memories to treasure long after your pregnancy has passed.
I had my maternity session with Heather and it was an amazing experience. Heather is very professional, friendly and did an amazing job. It was an amazing experience, without any pressure, she was there for us to take the best photos. We loved the experience so decided to contact her again to do the newborn session and I can’t thank enough. Heather is so good with babies, absolutely a super star. Highly recommend Heather for any type of session. Absolutely amazing job. Thank you Andreia

Had a Christmas photoshoot done by Heather the past two years and loved the photos. This year my toddler wasn’t very cooperative but Heather and Santa Ste were both patient and took their time to make my son feel comfortable and making it a more enjoyable experience.

Heather is amazing, this is our third photo session and would highly recommend. Our granddaughter was very anxious but Heather and Santa were really patient and gained her trust before attempting to take any photos.

Heather did a cake smash photoshoot for our little girl for the second time. She made us feel at ease and was very flexible with times and dates. The set up was great, I asked for a personalised set up, provided all the bits and bobs and she set it up lovely. All of us had fun throughout. The quality of the pictures is amazing and the service is great. The pictures turned out amazing! And our toddler keeps saying she loves Heather and wants to see her again, she was so good with her it felt like she was family. We wouldn't have asked for a better day to celebrate our little one's second birthday. Thank you Heather.

I recently had a maternity photoshoot with Heather and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Right from the start, she was friendly, helpful, and clearly explained all the packages, which made the whole process really straightforward.
On the day of the shoot, Heather was warm, welcoming, and instantly made me feel at ease. I was quite nervous as I don’t usually feel very confident in front of the camera, but she guided me through everything—from how to pose to where to look—and was so patient and encouraging throughout. I left feeling confident and beautiful!
Heather worked quickly on creating our gallery and again talked us through what was included in our Gold package. The photos are absolutely beautiful and such a special way to remember our pregnancy.
With the package we chose, we also get money off a newborn shoot—which we’re really looking forward to. We’ll definitely be coming back to Heather to capture all the special moments with our little girl in the future.
If you’re considering booking a maternity shoot, I honestly urge you to go for it. If you're in the Leeds or Bradford area, I would absolutely recommend Heather—you won’t be disappointed!

Had a maternity model call shoot today with the lovely Heather at her studio and it was one of the best experiences I've had with photo sessions, I was initially nervous and worried about my body being too exposed but she made me feel relaxed and explained how the shoot was not going to reveal any sensitive body parts which was exactly what I wanted. she was even kind enough to take a shoot of my partner even when she doesn't do that normally. Will definitely be having my new born shoot at hers.

Heather is an exceptional photographer, and our entire experience was seamless from start to finish. We had a photoshoot involving four young children, and Heather demonstrated remarkable skill in managing them with patience and professionalism. The studio was spacious and comfortable, providing an ideal environment for the session. The preview of the photos we saw on the day was outstanding, and my wife and I are eagerly anticipating the final results. We extend our sincere thanks to Heather for making the experience so enjoyable.
