Moments that stay forever

Specialist newborn, maternity and family photography — crafted with warmth, patience and an eye for the extraordinary in everyday life.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE HEATHER

"These photos are the only thing my children will inherit that shows who we truly were."

Family life moves fast. The sleepy weight of a newborn in your arms, the curve of a bump you've watched grow for nine months — these moments don't last. But photographs do.

I'm Heather, a specialist newborn, maternity and family photographer based in Bradford, West Yorkshire. My sessions are unhurried, personal and designed around your family.

We had 3 sessions: 1 for maternity and 2 with our baby girl. I'm very impressed with her professionalism and patience. I couldn't thank enough and definitely recommend Heather for any type of photo session. We already booked our Christmas session."

"We recently had a family photoshoot with Heather, including a smash cake and bubble bath session for our little one, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.
Heather captured so many genuine smiles, precious moments, and little expressions that we will treasure forever. The images were even better than we could have imagined and perfectly captured our family and our child’s personality.  Thank you, Heather.
