postpartum + newborn
photography

Considerate, at home photography across Leeds and West Yorkshire, honouring motherhood, rooted in care not perfection.

The postpartum period is a profound time of transition. Your body is recovering, your identity is shifting and your world is quietly rearranging itself around new life. It can be tender, overwhelming, beautiful and raw, often all at once.

My postpartum and newborn photography sessions are created to honour this season as it truly is. There is no pressure to pose, perform or make things look a certain way. These sessions are slow, baby-led and deeply respectful, with space for rest, feeding, emotion and pauses. You are held just as you are, and centred alongside your baby.

These sessions are not about perfect homes or sleeping babies. They are about presence, connection and truth.

You can expect:

A gently paced, unrushed session
Baby-led flow, with time for feeding, soothing and settling
A calm, supportive presence shaped by my doula background
Natural light and a soft, documentary approach
Guidance when needed, and space when it’s not

You don’t need to prepare your house or yourself in any particular way. Showing up is enough.

This work may be right for you if:

You want to remember the early days with honesty and tenderness
You want images that centre you as a mother, not just your baby
You feel drawn to something slower and more spacious
You don’t feel comfortable with traditional newborn photography
You want to be seen, held and respected in this season

Whether you are days, weeks or months postpartum, there is no “right” time — only your time.

Just want to say thank you for your lovely calming manner. I felt so comfortable and you made me feel beautiful at a time when I am feeling conscious of changes to my body. Thank you again

How Does It Work?

If you like what you see and you would like to work with me, let's have a chat.
We can talk through your photography desires and how I can help you bring them to life. We can then find the package that works for you. Once we have talked through the ideals we will then set a date that works for you. I will then be there to capture you in all of your glory whether this is chilled out at home in the comfort of your own space or stepping out into the wild, in a local location. This is all about you.

FAQs

Why is the shoot in my home or location?

My motherhood photography sessions are aimed to help you feel comfortable and empowered. We often feel the most comfortable in our own homes or in places that matter to us. There is no pressure to be anything other than yourself (or for your home to be pristine). The focus of the images are on you and a beautiful location can add to your images too. By not paying for a studio, I can also make my photography sessions financially accessible.

What should me and my baby wear?

Postpartum sessions aim to capture you as you are. There is no need to be or wear anything other than what you would normally be or wear. Skin to skin is so important during this period of time and makes for beautiful images. Keeping things simple and neutral. Babies just in nappies and mamas in soft, comfortable fabrics create a perfect balance for your images.

Can my partner and older children be in the photographs too?

Yes, of course. My photography sessions focus on you and the family that you have grown. When including more people in the session, it takes a little more time to capture you all together so the 'Deeply Held' package is best for a full family session.

Do you use props in your photography session?

My photography style focuses on capturing you and your baby as you are, so there are no props or unnatural poses. The aim of the sessions is to capture the honest and real moments in your postpartum journey including your connection during feeding, the soothing of the tears and the love that has been grown.
