Experienced Chesterfield maternity photographer creating natural, emotive pregnancy and bump photos. Helen’s calm, slightly geeky, friendly approach puts you at ease for timeless, personal images.
I specialise in maternity photography in Chesterfield — creating natural, timeless images that celebrate this extraordinary chapter. My work is driven by a love of composition and a deep respect for the quiet, intimate moments pregnancy brings. Whether you prefer the gentle light of my home-from-home studio or the comfort of your own home, I aim to capture the connection, strength and softness of this time in a way that feels utterly you. Why choose me? With a background in fashion design and years of photographing families and newborns, I bring a considered eye for colour, balance and flattering form. That experience means I don’t rely on trendy poses or artificial lighting — I use natural light, simple styling and thoughtful composition to create images that are both beautiful and enduring. My signature is ‘pure, beautiful simplicity’: images that reveal personality and emotion without fuss. How I work with you I make the whole process gentle and straightforward. We start with a relaxed conversation so I can understand what you love and how you want to feel in your images. I offer styling advice and suggestions for locations and outfits, and I’ll happily talk through ideas by email, WhatsApp or on the phone depending on what you prefer. On the day I create a calm, safe atmosphere — my slightly geeky, friendly nature helps clients settle quickly so we can capture honest, emotive moments rather than stiff poses. The session itself is unhurried. I focus on connection — the way you hold your bump, a quiet laugh, the way light falls across a profile — and I shoot with sensitivity to create a collection of varied, frame-worthy images. Many clients tell me later how grateful they are to have photographs that bring them right back to that feeling of anticipation. Your keepsakes My aim is to give you work you’ll be proud to display and treasure. I guide you through choosing your favourite images and offer options to present them beautifully in your home. If you’d like to discuss a pregnancy photoshoot, bump photography or any questions about preparing for your session, I’d love to hear from you. Based in Chesterfield, I’m here to make your maternity photoshoot relaxed, meaningful and completely personal.
