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!

Laura & Sam 🌸☀️💍
Another scorcher of a wedding last Saturday at the beautiful Hooton Pagnell Hall – though the heatwave did take a quick tea break and gave us a cheeky bit of rain in the afternoon (cue a mad dash for cover!).
Laura & Sam tied the knot at the gorgeous All Saints Church on site, then celebrated on the lawns outside the hall – with drinks, canapés, laughter, and even a bit of mini golf (Laura’s gran is 85 and still showed everyone how it’s done 💪).
Their lovely pup Winnie made an appearance for photos straight after the ceremony (yes, I got very excited), and Laura and I had the best time flower-spotting around the grounds. Speaking of which, her bouquet by @tweedlefloraldesign was an actual dream.
I also got to reunite with one of my past brides who was a bridesmaid – which always feels a bit like catching up with an old friend. Everyone was just so kind and joyful all day long. What a crew 💛

Robyn + Matt 🌞🔥
Married last Friday in the middle of the actual heatwave of the century – but these two were absolute champs, totally unfazed by the 30-degree Yorkshire sunshine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They tied the knot at the beautiful St John’s Church in Knaresborough, then soaked up the rays on the terrace at Rudding Park with a colourful, joy-filled celebration.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Robyn wore her mum’s veil (how lovely is that?) and honestly – both of them were total naturals in front of the camera. Effortless, relaxed, and just full of fun from start to finish.

ANEESA + TOM 🤍 One week since these two legends tied the knot at The Tithe Barn, Bolton Abbey – and what a day it was!
Aneesa looked absolutely stunning in her two-layered dress (even while gracefully dodging sheep poo in the fields – skills). Tom looked sharp in classic black tie, cool as anything 👌
They were total naturals in front of the camera from the get-go – their engagement shoot was full of laughs and easy moments, just like the wedding. We missed their gorgeous Rottweiler Rosie on the big day (she would`ve stolen the show, along with the bouquet), but she was definitely there in spirit 🐾
From emotional vows to golden hour in the fields, it was the kind of day that felt effortless, joyful, and totally them.
