Captured Blessings Photography

I’m Danielle — the photographer behind Captured Blessings Photography in Heywood — and I specialise in maternity photography for expecting mothers who want natural, timeless memories of pregnancy. With nearly two decades of experience as a registered midwife, I bring calm, confidence and a deep respect for this special time. My midwifery background means I understand how to work sensitively around pregnancy, keeping you comfortable and safe while helping you relax in front of the camera. My approach to a maternity photoshoot is gentle, personal and completely tailored to you. I offer a mobile photography service and often turn your home into a cosy studio so you can remain in familiar surroundings. Being at home helps you feel at ease, allows partners and siblings to join naturally, and creates authentic images that reflect your family and environment. If you prefer an outdoor location, I’m happy to discuss parks or nearby settings to suit your vision. Styling is collaborative — I bring a selection of backdrops, wraps and props, and I welcome any pieces you’d like to include. Whether you’re after classic, soft portraits of your bump, elegant silhouette work, or relaxed lifestyle images with your family, I’ll guide you through poses and small adjustments so everything feels effortless. My goal is to capture the quiet confidence, connection and anticipation that make maternity photos so meaningful. Working with me is straightforward and reassuring. From enquiry to the finished images I’ll guide you through the process: we’ll discuss your ideas, book a convenient time, and I’ll bring everything needed for a smooth session. After the shoot you’ll receive an online gallery to view and choose your favourite images — I then complete the final editing so each photograph looks beautiful and true to life. Gift vouchers are also available if you’d like to treat someone special. Based in Heywood and serving the local area, I’m passionate about creating heirloom images that celebrate pregnancy and the start of your family story. If you’re looking for a maternity specialist who combines professional care, a relaxed atmosphere and thoughtful, personalised photography, I’d love to work with you.
