Baby & Family Photography Yorkshire | What To Expect
If you're looking for fun, relaxed and natural baby or family photography across Yorkshire (or further!) then read on!
Covering Leeds, Harrogate, Ilkley, York, Skipton and beyond.
About The Shoot.
Families
My family photography shoots usually take place outdoors where your little ones can run around, and we are spoilt for choice here in Yorkshire! However we can absolutely do the shoot at your home if you prefer. The sessions are very relaxed and mostly documentary in style - I'll provide a little guidance but I'm mostly there to capture you all as you are together.
As with my other portrait shoots I don't have strict rules about what to wear, although I do recommend avoiding big logos or cartoon characters. If you do want more advice on outfits choices I've written a blog post with lots of helpful tips on what to wear! It's mostly important that you're comfortable and feel like yourselves.
About the shoot.
Babies (1 month to 1 year)
Baby shoots can be done at your home, or if it's warm enough we can meet outdoors somewhere. If we're at your home I'll usually try and get some of them in a favourite outfit and some with no clothes on. If you're not comfortable with this we can do some in just a plain white vest so we can still see those gorgeous folds and little toes!
I like to get a mixture of shots of baby by themselves and also some with you, even if it's just your arms giving them a cuddle!
If you're baby is aged up to 4 weeks then head over to my newborn info page to find out more about my shoots for this age group!

AMY & CALUM // Saturday at The Hovels on the Harewood Estate was pure magic ✨ Amy + Calum’s day was filled with laughter, love, and so many personal touches. From Calum’s dad stepping up as best man 🥂, to the incredible blooms by Leafy Couture 🌸, every detail felt so special.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amy’s dad even sourced a vintage Mercedes for the ultimate wedding car vibes 🚘, and Chris Stewart the magician kept everyone wowed during the drinks reception 🪄. The speeches had everyone laughing (and a few happy tears!)—especially when Amy’s dad handed out some hilarious gag gifts 🎁😂💛.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We tried tracking down Cyril the pig 🐷 (he was hiding!), but still managed some dreamy couple shots down the tree-lined lane leading to the venue 🌳💛.

FRAN & JAMES // Last Friday’s wedding at my favourite venue — the incredible Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey — and what a day it was 😍
Fran & James have been together since sixth form, and honestly, you could feel every year of that history in the way they looked at each other. James was the most emotional groom (not even gonna pretend I didn’t tear up behind the camera 🥹), and their friends? Just the best kind of people — close-knit, hilarious, and so ready to celebrate.
Stunning flowers by Bureau Botany, cakes that looked (and smelled) heavenly by The Flamingo Bakery, and the ever-lovely Simon Manning on video — always a dream to work alongside. 🎥 Marc and Abi had everyone up dancing in record time, and the atmosphere was pure joy from start to finish.
The whole day just had that feeling — easy, joyful, full of emotion and laughter. The kind of wedding that reminds me exactly why I love doing what I do.
Here’s a little peek into Fran & James’ beautiful, emotional, laughter-filled day 🩵
