“how SWEET is this little SLEEPY poppet”
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

Highly Recommend!
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!

Hi, I’m Heather
I’m an award-winning specialist newborn and maternity photographer based in Bradford, creating timeless portraits for families across Leeds, Bradford and West Yorkshire.
I know just how quickly these moments pass. One minute you’re counting down the days until your baby arrives, and the next you’re wondering how they’ve already changed so much.
That’s why I do what I do.
My sessions are about more than simply taking photographs. They are about preserving the details you never want to forget and creating beautiful artwork that tells the story of this special chapter in your family’s life.

An amazing Experience
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
