Jetta Sneddon Photography

Jetta Sneddon is a Hartlepool-based maternity specialist whose work centres on natural, lifestyle-led pregnancy photography. Jetta loves the reaction people have to their photos, and she focuses on creating relaxed, authentic images that celebrate this unique time. Her approach is warm, patient and down-to-earth — ideal for expectant mothers who want gentle direction and space to be themselves. Jetta’s style favours simple, timeless compositions that highlight connection: the curve of a bump, quiet shared moments between partners, and candid interactions with older children or pets when included. She encourages clients to bring ideas — “get on Pinterest, bombard me with photos and poses you’d like to try” — and adapts each shoot to the personalities and comfort levels of everyone involved. That flexibility means sessions feel natural, not staged, and produce images you’ll want to live with for years. Practical care and client comfort are central to Jetta’s process. She leaves extra time in the diary so shoots aren’t rushed, gives clear guidance on preparing for a session, and keeps the atmosphere calm and supportive. Jetta is open to studio or outdoor locations around Hartlepool and the wider Teesside area, and she works closely with clients to find the best light and setting for their vision. Jetta values accessibility and repeat custom: she aims to be affordable and builds relationships so families return for maternity, newborn and milestone shoots over time. She also offers family and portrait work as occasional services, but her primary passion and expertise is maternity and pregnancy photography. Deliverables are simple and client-friendly — carefully edited digital images that you can share, print or keep for yourself. Jetta makes the creative process collaborative and enjoyable, combining technical experience with empathy and patience. If you’re looking for a Hartlepool maternity photographer who specialises in capturing honest, beautiful moments during pregnancy, Jetta Sneddon offers a reassuring, personalised experience from planning to finished images.
