Family & Newborn Photographer in the East Midlands
Newborn & Family Photographer
Hi, I’m Natalie,
I’m the Newborn & Family Photographer you’ve been looking for! I specialise in capturing authentic, joyful moments through natural light photography at home, or outdoors. Whether you're expecting a newborn (congratulations!), celebrating your family, or simply want to preserve life's special moments, I’m here to create timeless, meaningful images you’ll cherish forever.
As a mum of two wonderful boys of my own, I know too well how precious and fleeting the little moments are. I love looking back at my own family photographs of my boys and marvelling at how much they’ve already changed and remembering how they once were so little! This really drives my passion for creating photographs that are keepsakes for other families to cherish too. I truly believe that photographs are one of the biggest treasures and the best gift we can give to ourselves and our children. This time really does pass by in the blink of eye!
If you're looking for a newborn & family photographer in Derbyshire (or further afield in the East Midlands) who specialises in natural, emotional story-telling photography, you’ve come to the right place!
I focus on capturing relaxed, natural photographs. I believe that when people are free to be themselves, the magic happens. I capture unscripted moments, whether it's the tender snuggles of a newborn or the laughter-filled adventures of your growing family. I love to take pictures that tell a story.
Let’s work together to preserve memories, so you can relive them for years to come.
What can I do for you?
I create colourful, authentic images that tell the story of your family in the most genuine and timeless way - from the quiet moments of newborn cuddles to the lively energy of family fun. Dive in to take a closer look at what I can do for your family.

Relaxed, Fun Sessions: I make sure your family feels at ease so you can enjoy the experience—no stiff poses or pressure, just natural moments that reflect your unique connection and the love between you all.
Natural & Timeless Style: I specialise in capturing authentic, timeless images using natural light. The goal is to create photos that truly show the bond and love within your family, as they are—beautifully real.
Tailored to You: Every family is different, so I offer personalised sessions at locations that are meaningful to you. Whether it’s your home, a favourite park, or a special place in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, or Staffordshire, I’ll travel to capture your family in the perfect setting.
A Parent Myself: I know exactly how it feels to be the one behind the camera, wishing you could be in the pictures too. I get that not everyone loves being photographed, and managing a family can feel like a juggling act. But here’s the good news—I’m really good with kids! With my experience raising two boys, I’ve got all sorts of tricks to keep everyone engaged, happy, and having fun. You can relax, enjoy the moment, and trust that I’ll capture plenty of beautiful, stress-free images!

FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT - "We had a brilliant experience with Natalie and cannot recommend her enough! Natalie made us feel comfortable and at ease from the outset and also did a great job at keeping the kids engaged. When our 4 year old was starting to get a bit restless Natalie quickly picked up on this and managed to distract him with a dandelion which resulted in some lovely pictures. We are so happy with the beautiful photographs and would highly recommend Natalie to anyone!"

FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT - "I was absolutely blown away by the photos that Natalie took of me and my son. Better than I ever could have hoped for my only difficulty now is choosing which ones to print and frame! Natalie is amazing with babies and knows how to direct her photos to help with the best pose and lighting. Highly recommended and I hope to do another shoot with her in the future!!

We have never had any taken before and didn’t know what to expect, Natalie made us feel at ease and suggested a perfect location so we could take our dog along too.
