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

Maternity Photography in Leeds & Bradford
Alongside specialising in newborn photography, I have also dedicated time to developing my maternity photography so that every session creates truly beautiful and empowering portraits.
My goal is for maternity photography to be more than simply taking photographs of a bump. Each session is designed to celebrate this incredible stage of motherhood and create elegant, timeless images that you will treasure long after your pregnancy has passed.
As a maternity photographer serving Leeds, Bradford and surrounding West Yorkshire areas, I focus on helping every woman feel confident, relaxed and radiant in front of the camera. Whether you prefer soft, natural portraits or something more styled and dramatic, your session will be tailored to reflect your personality and the excitement of welcoming your baby.
Pregnancy is a fleeting chapter filled with anticipation and emotion. Maternity photography captures that beautiful connection between mother and baby before your little one arrives.
If you are looking for a maternity photographer in Leeds or Bradford, I would love to help you create portraits that make you feel truly beautiful during this special time.
” We had the most wonderful experience with Heather for our maternity photoshoot. She was incredibly professional, friendly and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful throughout the entire session. The photos are absolutely stunning. I recommend her!” Georgina
Why not feel beautiful, look like the confident queen you are, when you start this magical motherhood journey

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.
