Ted & Tortoise Photography

Ted & Tortoise Photography is a specialist in maternity photography based in Conisbrough, proudly serving expecting mothers across South Yorkshire. Cordelia brings over a decade of professional experience and a fine‑art eye to every maternity photoshoot, focusing on simple, timeless and honest images that celebrate the quiet, powerful moments of pregnancy. Our approach is gentle and no‑fuss. We prefer natural locations or the comfort of your own home rather than stiff studio setups — creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can breathe, move and be yourself. Whether you want intimate bump portraits, story-led images with your partner, or soft, candid moments with other children, we work with you to capture the connection and emotion of this chapter. What makes us different is the way we blend documentary storytelling with delicate, flattering composition. Cordelia loves people and storytelling — she looks for the small things others might miss: the curve of a hand on a bump, a quiet laugh, the exchange of a look between partners. That emotional investment shows in images that feel authentic and timeless rather than overly posed. Working with Ted & Tortoise is calm and collaborative. We begin with a friendly chat so we understand your vision and can suggest locations, wardrobe ideas and relaxed pacing. On the day of your maternity session we give gentle direction when needed, but mostly we follow natural moments, allowing your personality and bond to shine through. Our priority is your comfort — plenty of time, warm encouragement and an easygoing pace so the session feels enjoyable, not rushed. After your shoot, you’ll receive a thoughtfully edited gallery of images to choose from. We help you tell the story of your pregnancy with prints and artwork options if you’d like to display your favourites. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Conisbrough or elsewhere in South Yorkshire who prioritises calm, honest, and beautifully composed maternity photos, Ted & Tortoise offers a specialist, story‑led service built on warmth, experience and a love of people.
