Leanne Elizabeth Photography

Hi Mama — I’m Leanne, a mum of two and a specialist in maternity photography based in Gloucester, serving Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. I believe pregnancy is a powerful, fleeting chapter and my work is dedicated to documenting the quiet, intimate moments that make this time unforgettable. With a natural, heartfelt storytelling approach that blends lifestyle and documentary techniques, I create maternity photos that feel true to you and beautiful on your walls. Why choose me for your maternity photoshoot? I bring a gentle, personal touch born from both professional experience and my own journey through motherhood. My sessions are relaxed and unhurried — designed so you can breathe, connect with your partner or little ones, and simply be present while I capture the emotion and connection of this season. I favour soft natural light, simple locations (your home, favourite outdoor spot or the rolling Cotswold hills) and minimal posing — just small prompts that help you feel comfortable and look like yourselves. How I work: every maternity session starts with a conversation. I send a short questionnaire and provide a detailed session guide so we can shape the shoot around what you love — from wardrobe and locations to the mood you want to create. We’ll have a phone or video call to chat through the plan and make sure you feel seen and supported. On the day I’m calm and unobtrusive, balancing documentary moments with gentle direction to curate images that transport you back to how it felt to be pregnant. My style is nostalgic, honest and centred on connection. I want your images to make you feel something — the warmth of a partner’s hand, the love from older siblings, the small private moments that mean everything. These are photographs that will sit in your home and help you remember this incredible stage long after it’s passed. If you’re booking both stages of your journey, there’s a warm welcome waiting: clients who choose a maternity photoshoot often return for newborn sessions and I offer a discount for those bookings. If you’d like to chat about your vision or see examples, I’d love to hear from you — let’s create maternity photographs that feel like you.
