Elle Howard Photography

Elle Howard is a specialist maternity photographer based in Hazel Grove (Romiley/Stockport), with a warm, documentary-led approach that celebrates the quiet, candid moments of pregnancy. Maternity photography for Elle isn’t about stiff poses or perfect props — it’s about telling your story in a way that feels authentic, relaxed and entirely you. Working from a cosy, natural-light studio that Elle describes as a ‘home from home’, she creates a calm environment where expecting mothers can feel comfortable and cared for. The studio’s creamy tones, soft textures and client wardrobe are all chosen to put you at ease and help images feel timeless. If you’d rather stay in the comfort of your own home, Elle also offers at-home sessions and is happy to travel across Stockport and the surrounding areas — she often photographs in the places that matter to you most. Elle’s style blends documentary storytelling with gentle direction. She follows your lead, encouraging natural movement and tender interactions while guiding you where it helps to create flattering, emotive images. Partners and siblings are always welcome to join; Elle understands that maternity photography is a family moment as much as it is a personal one. Expect a friendly, down-to-earth session where there’s time to breathe, laugh and be real — and yes, there’ll be tea and snacks on tap. Many clients choose the Journey to Motherhood option, combining a maternity shoot with a newborn session to capture both the anticipation of pregnancy and the first days of life. Elle treats each booking with care, providing a welcome guide packed with outfit ideas, colour palette tips and preparation advice so you feel calm and confident on the day. If you’re searching for bump photography that looks and feels natural, Elle Howard Photography positions itself as a trusted specialist in Hazel Grove and the wider Stockport area. With a relaxed atmosphere, an eye for honest moments and a gentle, documentary approach, Elle captures pregnancy in a way that you’ll want to come back to again and again.
