I am so happy to share this portrait of a truly radiant mother-to-be. This was such a joyful maternity photoshoot and I think this image captures the mood perfectly.

Preparing for your photoshoot

I am always very conscious that there may be some nervousness about the photoshoot. Particularly if you are someone who is not used to standing in front of a camera. You may even feel a little self-conscious about how your body has changed and yet still want to capture your pregnancy as a personal record.

My aim is to always make you feel happily relaxed throughout your photoshoot. I believe that to truly capture the energy of the moment you have to be completely at ease with me as your photographer. Some of my favourite portraits that I capture are what I call the ‘in-between shots’. There is always a moment in every photoshoot when it’s almost as if everyone has forgotten the camera is there but I’m still constantly taking pictures. This was one of these moments. You can just see her laughter and happiness and that we were completely at ease.

I do think that having your photoshoot at home also helps with this. It is private, familiar and of course comfortable. With access to your own bathroom, robes, make-up, accessories, and clothes. I am very used to adapting my studio to fit the space when I arrive and I can make it work every time.

Pregnancy & newborn photography

My most popular photography package is without a doubt my pregnancy and newborn package. It is a wonderful way to create a record of your bump to baby journey.

I have a natural and classic style of photography and I like to create pictures that complement each other beautifully. Images that would work well displayed as a series of framed fine art prints on the wall or in a beautifully handmade album. However, you choose to display your finished images I have lots of options available.

For further details and how to book your session please get in touch via my contact page I would love to hear from you and capture this special journey.

Is there anything better than starting the new year and indeed the new decade than with a new family member?! I loved my pregnancy and newborn photography session’s which took place during and towards the end of 2019 and I’m now looking forward to meeting more 2020 babies and their families!

My daughter was born at the end of 2010 and so it was almost a decade ago since I held her in my arms and brought her home from the hospital. My first baby, I have to say, hopefully without sounding cliche! but it really does feel like yesterday and yet so much has happened in the 10 years since her arrival! Including the arrival of my son just 5 years ago. I remember both of my pregnancy’s vividly. How I felt, how I changed and the incredible people I met along the way who have become dear friends. It’s wonderful to reflect on that time and to see where we are now. I am looking forward to this new decade, to new adventures with my family and hopefully lots of positive changes.

I thought this was the perfect image to start the New Year. It is one of my favourites from a lovely pregnancy photoshoot in Hammersmith with this beautiful mum to be! There are moments during each session when everyone is relaxed and we are all really enjoying the photoshoot. These moments are so beautiful to capture. A natural smile, a giggle, a laugh and ultimately a moment of pure joy frozen in time.

A private pregnancy photoshoot at home is a wonderful way to capture this incredible time in your life. Even if you are unsure if you would feel comfortable in front of the camera, these pictures will provide a beautiful record of this time for you to look back on. I always think of my maternity pictures as a celebration of motherhood, a beautiful way to welcome your baby into the world.

Client Review:

” We had Elle take both our maternity and newborn photos and couldn’t be happier we chose her to capture this special time.I was originally reluctant to have maternity photos taken but Elle made me feel completely comfortable and the experience was very uplifting. She returned a few weeks later to capture our newborn baby boy. The images are absolutely beautiful and we will treasure the prints and album for years to come. We would highly recommend Elle as a photographer. She has been warm, caring and professional towards our family and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! We look forward to having her back to photograph our family again soon. Thanks so much Elle! x “

So happy to share a few of these intimate moments from a newborn photography session in Kensington, London.

I love the size of the rose next to her little clenched fist! A reminder of just how tiny and precious she is. The newborn stage is as fleeting as a rose. Our beautiful babies are not little for long and it is as always a privilege to capture this time.

I always recommend capturing family and parent portraits during your photoshoot. Even if you’re not really feeling camera ready. There are often few opportunities to be photographed altogether and these are the pictures your little one will no doubt treasure the most when he / she is grown.

Daddy popped back from work during our photoshoot, giving me enough time to capture these beautiful family and Daddy shots. Some of my favourites from our session.

One of the best parts of my job is the amazing network of families I have had the opportunity to meet over the years. Sharing in one of the most incredibly happy times of their lives. A small moment in time captured forever. I want the memory of the photoshoot itself to be as happy as the pictures.

This week and indeed the next few weeks on the run up to Christmas are some of my busiest yet. I have a packed week of newborn and pregnancy photoshoots. And there will be lots to do to prepare all the orders and images in time for Christmas gifts. I do love this time of year though! Starting with Halloween this week to kick off the festivities! My 8 year old is going to be ‘Moaning Myrtle’ from Harry Potter this year! I’ve never seen someone so in love with their Halloween costume. Any opportunity she gets the Harry Potter cape is back on!

Have a great week everyone!

I’m just loving these family and newborn photographs from one of my recent photoshoot’s in South London. How beautiful is this older brother and his newborn baby sister!

He was just the sweetest boy to photograph. absolutely head over heals in love with his baby sister. I love the way her eyes just opened as I took this shot and caught her smile at her big brother. Just as he kissed her head. It’s beautiful moments like these that make me so happy to be doing the work that I do.

We then did lots of ‘just big brother’ shots whilst baby was being fed. I love this one where he is looking just off camera but has a gorgeous natural smile! We were mid conversation about something and I can’t remember what. I’m always chatting away to my subjects and as I have a nearly 4 year old boy I’m quite up to speed on what’s cool and what’s not. At least I think I am!  So I’m often chatting about Paw Patrol or PJ Masks … I’m an expert on Thomas the Tank Engine!

I was so happy with the results from this session and even more so when Mum was pleased! For me it’s not only the results of the photoshoot that are important to get right but the entire experience. From start to finish I want every moment to be enjoyable and effortless for my Clients.

It’s been a busy few weeks and the run up to Christmas is always extremely busy for me. (Yes preparations start now!). It does seem to get earlier every year but I like to be organised. Ensuring all orders, gift packages, frames and albums are prepared and dispatched in time for the big day! I also have lots of Christmas babies booked in over the festive period which leaves little time free so I have to be super organised. Juggling lots of things is what us mums seem to do best though! It often amazes me how much can be crammed into one day!

With that being said it’s time for me to return to my edits. I have a full day of retouches ahead and then a newborn photoshoot in Balham tomorrow. Then I shall be taking a short break with my little munchkins over half term!

Let the pumpkin picking and carving commence!

I hope you enjoy these and thank you as always for looking.

For bookings please contact me via my ‘make a booking‘ page

Thank you

I’m delighted to announce. That as well as covering London. I am now available for pregnancy, newborn, baby & family photoshoot’s in the Kent and Surrey area. Please contact me to see if I cover your area.

Below are a few of my favourite shots from a recent pregnancy and newborn photography session in London. I loved both of these photoshoot’s. It is always such a joy to get to know the new parents-to-be during their pregnancy photoshoot. Then returning again when their little one has arrived. What a privilege to be one of the first to greet the new arrival.

Before a photoshoot is booked I often chat with my Client’s about what they would like to achieve from their photoshoots. Either over the phone or by email. Whichever is most convenient.

I specialise in black & white photography and I absolutely love the classic and timeless quality these pictures have. However, I do think a little colour can add something special to the session too. Especially if shot in the same natural style. To compliment the black & white images. By popular request I have started to introduce these to my photoshoot’s and I hope you like the results!

Colour images are available on request when booking your photoshoot. Simply request the black & white with colour options. The session fee and pricing are the same.

I’m really pleased with this set of images. I love the shades of the flowers we chose for their daughters headband. The muted grey with the oversized flower hat. Soft and subtle shades that don’t distract from their newborn baby. I believe simple is best when it comes to pregnancy and newborn portraits. For me it’s about capturing the magic of that time. The feel of the moment.

Coming to my Client’s home’s for their photoshoots allows us to take as much time as is needed. To get to know each other in a relaxed way. It also eliminates any travel stress for the new parents and parents to be.

A pregnancy photoshoot typically lasts two hours and a newborn photoshoot can last anywhere between 3 – 4 hours.

I have years of experience working with newborns and babies. I’m more than happy to answer any questions you have prior to booking your photoshoot.

October & November dates are filling up very quickly now and we will soon be on the countdown for Christmas! Has anyone started shopping yet? or is that jut me? I have to admit I love this time of year!

If you would like one of our special Christmas vouchers for your loved ones do get in touch. Early booing is recommended.

Sharing a few moments from my newborn & family photography session in West London with these beautiful people.

Lets talk about the last few weeks of pregnancy and the first weeks following the birth of your baby. These are not only busy with all the last minute bits of organising, DIY and jobs that need to be completed. But are also completely exhausting and overwhelming.

I like my pregnancy and newborn photoshoots to be the easy and most relaxing part of the journey. I know this sounds very cliche to say!

In the midst of all the chaos and tiredness I want to just arrive at my Client’s home. with my portable studio to capture the beauty of those moments. To help everyone to stop for a moment and to relax. To remember to just breathe and enjoy holding & kissing their new baby. Whilst I capture all of the magic on camera. Then once everything is done and the moments are frozen in time. I’ll pack up and leave so everyone can return to their rest and recovery. Waiting for their gallery to be processed and edited. I’ll then return again to help with selection of the photographs. So there really is no need for the new parents to leave the home with their new baby.

It is a very specialist service and one that requires, consideration to the new parents needs. Careful planning and arranging and dedication.

Once chosen each image is carefully retouched and prepared for print. I work with London’s best printers, book binders and framers to produce exquisite handmade products for your photographs. Digital image package options are also available.

All details are available via my make a booking page. Simply fill out the form and I will send a full brochure to you x
