Specialist Chesterfield maternity photographer creating natural, relaxed pregnancy and bump portraits. On-location or mobile studio sessions that focus on comfort, connection and timeless imagery.
Journey Life Photography is a specialist maternity photographer based in Chesterfield, proudly serving expecting mothers across Derbyshire and Yorkshire. Jonathan (Jon) Lee and the Journey Life team approach pregnancy photography with a photo‑journalistic, natural style — prioritising relaxed, authentic moments over stiff poses. If you want maternity photos that feel like you — tender, powerful and quietly joyful — this is the approach that brings them to life. Why choose Journey Life Photography? Jon’s background in graphic design and architecture gives him a keen eye for light, composition and the small details that lift a photograph from pretty to unforgettable. Since founding Journey Life Photography in 2017 he has focused on creating calm, comfortable sessions where connection and emotion come first. Clients often say the experience is fun, gentle and stress‑free — perfect for expecting mothers who deserve to feel celebrated and at ease in front of the camera. What makes the approach special? Maternity sessions are designed around you: location shoots in the Peak District and local favourite spots for soft, natural light; or a professional mobile studio set up in the comfort of your home for flattering, intimate portraits. The emphasis is on creating a relaxed atmosphere so your natural interactions, silhouettes and those beautiful bump moments are captured honestly and beautifully. The result is a curated collection of images with real emotion and timeless appeal. How we work: from our first conversation we take time to understand your vision and comfort level. On the day we guide gently and unobtrusively, helping you find flattering poses and moments that feel natural. Sessions are paced to suit you and your changing needs. After the shoot, we carefully edit RAW files using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to produce high‑resolution images that reflect the mood and detail of the session. You’ll receive your proofs for selection promptly so you can choose the pieces that matter most. Journey Life Photography specialises in maternity and family stories — combining professional skill, a warm, client‑focused approach and a genuine love for capturing life’s milestones. If you’re looking for a specialist maternity photographer in Chesterfield who will create sensitive, beautiful images that you’ll treasure, Journey Life Photography would love to be part of your journey.
