OXFORDSHIRE MATERNITY, NEWBORN & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Heartfelt photos of connections for the sentimental, the loving, and the wild.

A pregnant woman in a white skirt and loose-knit cardigan, holding a daisy near her belly, is embraced by a man from behind. They stand in a field of white daisies with trees in the background during sunset.

A woman holding a baby close, about to kiss the baby on the lips in a cozy indoor setting.

A creative introvert, compassionate mother and impulsive soul with a longing to capture evocative images of perfectly ordinary but magical moments.

Sometimes it’s the smallest moments in time, the ones that are over in the blink of an eye, which are the ones etched deepest in to our memories. Flutters and rolls within your growing belly while curled up in bed, the tiny twitching of your baby’s lips as they drift off to sleep during a feed. Yours and your partner’s eyes locking briefly while your toddler runs circles around you both. These are a few of the moments in my motherhood journey where I wish time could have stood still, and the ones I want to preserve for an eternity.

The best photos happen when you are feeling comfortable, relaxed and authentically you, so you never need to worry about being anything but that. J, and with some gentle direction, I promise we will create art to be lovingly treasured for generations to come.

“Chloe managed to squeeze us in last minute for a newborn/family photoshoot. Her communication was fantastic and she was incredibly patient when our baby needed feeding and settling. She made us feel at ease and the photos are absolutely STUNNING - we’ve had so many compliments on them!”

Mornings spent at home soaking in your new baby, is there anything sweeter? I know how often new parents carry quiet worries into their session. What if they want to feed the whole time? What if they cry? What if they don’t sleep? Or sleep the
Dreamy milk filled days cosied up at home mixed with too many emotions to keep count of, a Google search that gets about as much rest as you do and hours spent trying to figure out this brand new soul who’s entire existence falls on your should
