Pregnancy Photographer, London, Bermondsey session
A beautiful pregnancy photoshoot with this lovely mother-to-be. Waiting for your first baby to arrive is an incredibly special time. It’s wonderful to celebrate your pregnancy and create a lasting memory for both of you to look back on.
I found this beautiful ‘letter to my first child’ on Scary Mommy
It sums up so many of those familiar feelings. The trials and errors of becoming a Mum for the first time. How your life changes and how you change. It is one of life’s greatest journey’s.
I am writing this whilst preparing my two children for the day. The eldest is going on a school trip today and there is much excitement as we pack her lunch, wellies and spare clothes. My youngest will come with me, a quick morning play with mummy before Daddy takes him out for the day. I have two photoshoots today. A pregnancy and a family session.
It is unusual for me to book two in one day but they are close by and I had the sweetest call from this lady who is actually due today! She left her pregnancy portraits to the very last minute! I’m delighted we could make it work and capture her bump just before her baby arrives. I’m keeping my fingers crossed baby stays put just long enough for our photoshoot!
Have a lovely day x

Just a quick post to say how much I enjoyed watching ‘Born in Chelsea’ this week on E4. Following Binky & JP’s journey into parenthood.
I was delighted to do a special pregnancy photography session with Binky just a couple of weeks before her beautiful baby girl arrived. It was wonderful to work with Binky and the production team who filmed our photoshoot that day.
I love my pregnancy sessions. Those precious weeks before you become a mother for the first time are incredibly special. The anticipation of meeting your little one for the first time after months of waiting and the nervousness about becoming a mother are quite overwhelming. I remember those feelings so well.
It is important for me to be able to relate to my Clients and understand how they would like their pregnancy to be captured. These pictures will become a treasured record of this very personal, emotional & life changing journey. I like to capture the beauty of pregnancy, I believe that all mothers to be are radiant at this time.
I love black & white photography for maternity shoots. This classic form of photography gives an elegant and timeless quality to the finished pictures.
Binky looked absolutely stunning and our session was relaxed & fun. I always work with my Clients to produce natural & intimate portraits that are flattering and true to them.
I’ll be sharing more pictures form this and recent sessions soon.
Thank you so much for looking, I’m always grateful for your feedback and support,

Sometimes I wonder where the time goes!
The weeks have been speeding by and suddenly the school Summer holidays are upon us. Those endless childhood days stretched out in front of us. Bringing back so many fond memories of that beautiful feeling that Summer goes on for ever. The next term seeming an age away. I love having my children at home for the Summer. We plan a few trips together but I like to make sure they have some time at home to just be, play and explore. It is beautiful to enjoy those endless summer days in the garden at home, just playing and being together as a family.
As this lovely time of year is fast approaching I have also been super busy, photographing and meeting lots of incredible mothers to be, newborn’s, baby’s and families. So much so that I have had very little time to update my website and blog.
I have so many pictures from recent photoshoots I want to share with you all.
This one in particular was a lovely gift newborn photography session. Given from a sister to her brother after the birth of his first child. The whole family took part in our photoshoot. Grandparents and the very proud Aunty herself. It really was a time for celebration and an honour for me to capture this special time.
There is no better feeling in the world than meeting your baby for the first time. I love to think of these portraits being treasured by the family for years to come.
Kind words from the family and pictures as always shared with permission:
” Elle did an amazing job and was very patient with our baby throughout the process. Her vast experience in handling babies and taking exceptional snaps was very clear to see. We would definitely use her again. Keep up the great work Elle!”

Sharing a few from this lovely newborn session in South London.
I love including personal items in my newborn pictures and was delighted to use this beautiful wedding veil. Such a special and delicate item to use. It’s lovely to link their wedding day to their newborn baby pictures. I imagine this veil will be passed on to this darling little girl and loved dearly.
Capturing the little details like the tiny and perfect little feet inside Mums heart shaped fingers. The size of their tiny little hand on top of Daddy & Mummy’s hand create a lasting and precious memory of this fleeting time. It’s incredible to see how she is only a tiny bit bigger than her Daddy’s hand curled up next to it in this shot.
I still can’t believe how quickly this time passes. My two children are now 6 and 2 years old. I try to hold onto every memory, every moment, each sweet little change and the happiness the sound of their voices brings to my day. I like to capture these precious moments for my Clients. Whether I am photographing their pregnancy, newborn, baby or family portraits with older children. My aim is to cerate a lasting memory of that time in their lives. Capturing their expressions naturally with elegant portraits that will last a lifetime.
I take time during all of my sessions to ensure these moments are captured perfectly. After each session I prepare a private proof gallery and each selected image is carefully retouched. Providing high quality professional images is always my top priority. I am very sensitive to my Clients needs and requests. I work with them continuously to ensure their finished images and products match all their needs. These pictures are going to be in their families for generations to come and it’s important to get it right.
Working with families across London I always enjoy chatting about local parent and baby groups. It’s great to exchange tips and ideas. One of my favourites is still netmums. Covering a whole range of London boroughs and full of tips for baby groups to go to which are great for meeting other new parents.
Becoming a parent can be quite a challenge and having the support of other parents local to you is wonderful. Especially in a big city like London.
I hope you enjoy these beautiful newborn portraits. It is a pleasure to share them. As always shared with permission.
