Specialist maternity photographer in Dronfield. Danielle blends an editorial eye with a relaxed, natural approach to create timeless pregnancy and bump photos, outdoors or at home.
I’m Danielle — a mum, a hopeless romantic and a photographer who adores capturing the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy. Based in Dronfield and working across York, Leeds, Sheffield and surrounding Yorkshire towns, I specialise in maternity photography and pregnancy photoshoots designed to celebrate this fleeting, extraordinary time. What I love about maternity photography is that it’s both intimate and cinematic. My background in fashion and editorial photography gives my work a considered, artistic edge, but my approach on the day is gentle, relaxed and very much about you. I create images that feel natural and unforced — a mix of candid moments and softly guided poses that let your personality and your connection with your baby shine through. Whether you want classic, ethereal portraits or more contemporary bump photography, I’ll tailor the session to the look and mood you imagine. I much prefer shooting outside, where light, colours and textures add depth and context to your images, but I’m equally happy to come to you for an in-home session if that feels more comfortable or personal. I can bring a selection of adornments and props to enhance the shoot, and I’m always happy to work with anything meaningful you’d like to include. My aim is to make the experience easy and enjoyable — a relaxed, joyful time rather than something stressful or staged. On the practical side, I guide you with a light touch — positioning you where the light is beautiful, finding flattering angles, and encouraging natural movement so the best photos happen without forcing smiles or stiff poses. Many clients tell me they loved how calm and fun their session felt, and that the resulting maternity photos truly captured who they were in that moment. Choosing me means choosing a specialist in expecting mothers photography who cares about storytelling and craft. I’m passionate about creating maternity photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime: elegant, honest and artful images that mark this wonderful chapter.
