Based in Colne/Barnoldswick, Nikita Kayleigh Photography specialises in maternity photography. Expect calm, beautifully styled pregnancy photoshoots that capture authentic emotion and timeless bump portraits.
I’m Nikita — a specialist maternity photographer working from my cosy studio on the Colne/Barnoldswick border. For over a decade I’ve been photographing expectant families across Lancashire and Yorkshire, and I truly believe maternity photography should feel like a quiet, uplifting moment in the middle of all the change. Why choose me? I focus exclusively on creating relaxed, timeless pregnancy photoshoots that celebrate your bump, your bond, and the emotion of this season. My approach is gentle and personalised: I listen to how you want to be remembered, then style a session around that vision. Whether you want softly lit, classic portraits or more intimate, natural images with your partner and children, I bring wardrobe, styling guidance and a calm studio environment so you don’t have to worry about a thing. My studio is intentionally peaceful — warm lighting, neutral tones and a client wardrobe of flattering dresses and wraps mean we can create elegant, confident maternity photos without stress. Sessions are tailored to you: many clients choose to include a partner or older children, and I always allow time for breaks, outfit changes and relaxed posing so every image feels natural. Practical details I often share with my clients: maternity sessions work best around 32–35 weeks when the bump is beautifully defined and you can still be comfortable. I recommend booking early so I can reserve space around your due date. After your session you’ll be invited back for a relaxed viewing and ordering appointment where we select the images and choose any wall art or keepsakes you’d like. My style is timeless, emotional and true to you — bump photography that honours this once-in-a-lifetime chapter. Based in Colne and welcoming families from Manchester to Leeds, I offer a friendly, professional experience from first enquiry to finished artwork. If you’d like a compassionate, experienced maternity photographer who values comfort, connection and beautiful, lasting images, I’d love to hear your story and create something you’ll treasure forever.
