Bella Vita Newborn Photography Essex

Celebrate this extraordinary chapter with Bella Vita — Jo specialises in maternity photography in Chelmsford and across Essex, creating classic, timeless portraits that honour your changing body and growing baby. Her approach is calm, personal and fuss-free: sessions are tailored around your comfort so you can relax and enjoy being photographed. Jo’s work focuses on elegant, understated images that highlight the beauty of pregnancy rather than trendy gimmicks. She offers a one-hour studio session with full use of custom-made gowns and simple, flattering styling so the photographs remain timeless. The ideal time for a maternity shoot is around 30–32 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined and you feel comfortable moving through a few poses. What makes Bella Vita different is the warm, reassuring experience Jo creates. She listens to how you want to feel and be presented, guides gently through poses, and keeps the atmosphere relaxed so real expressions and quiet moments can shine. Partners and older children are welcome to join where you’d like family or partner images included — everything is photographed with a sensitive, authentic touch. The studio in Chelmsford is deliberately calm and simple to keep the focus on you. Jo favours natural, soft lighting and minimal, elegant backgrounds so the portraits remain timeless on walls and in albums. Every image is thoughtfully composed and professionally edited, with Jo retaining creative control over the final look to ensure cohesive, emotive results. Whether this is your first pregnancy or another precious moment to record, Jo is passionate about helping you feel beautiful and confident in front of the camera. She enjoys making the session easy and enjoyable — many clients comment on how comfortable and supported they felt during their shoot. If you’d like maternity photographs that will age gracefully and always remind you of this special time, Bella Vita in Chelmsford offers a gentle, expert-led experience designed for expecting mothers.
