Welcome to my newborn - baby - maternity photography studio
Great Dunmow - Essex

the studio

The photographer behind Bubbles & Bluebells Photography. For more than 12 years I’ve had the absolute privilege of photographing hundreds of newborn babies and their families.

I’m a multi-award-winning Newborn Photographer in Essex, but behind the camera I’m also a mum of three, so I know first-hand just how quickly these early days disappear.

Welcome to my

the studio

I want to create photographs that don’t just show you what your baby looked like,
but to transport you straight back into the moment......

How tiny they felt in your arms, the overwhelming love, even that sweet newborn smell.

......thats why I do what I do

The tiny fingers. The sleepy stretches. The way they fit perfectly against your chest. You think you’ll remember every little detail, but somehow they grow and change before your eyes.

Before babies and photography took over my world, my career looked rather different. I spent my days flying and travelling the world.
My camera came with me, and somewhere along the way, photography became much more than a hobby.
I went on to become a wedding photographer, but everything changed when I became a mum myself. Photographing my own baby made me realise just how precious those photographs would become, and I knew I wanted to create that for other families too.
More than a decade later, newborn photography is still where my heart is.
My experience has also taken me around the world in a different way, teaching and mentoring other photographers. Now sharing the knowledge, techniques and safe approach to newborn photography that I’ve developed throughout my career.
But when you walk through my studio doors, none of that matters quite as much as one thing:

Your baby is in safe hands with me.

You need to know that your baby is in safe, experienced and caring hands.

you'll also be creating a little time capsule, you can revisit time, and time again.

So when you book me, you'll get more than just photographs

For me, being a Newborn Photographer in Essex has never been about creating one perfect photograph.
It’s about documenting your family as it grows.
From your maternity session and those first tiny newborn days, through sitting, first birthdays and all those wonderful little milestones in between, I get to watch families return and their stories unfold in front of my camera.
And that might just be my favourite part of all.
Because long after the newborn clothes have been packed away and those tiny fingers aren’t quite so tiny anymore, your photographs remain.
They’re only this little once. Let’s make sure you remember it.

"Hannah is super patient but knows exactly what she is doing and how to do it. The experience was truly magical. We can’t wait to be visiting again"

Jenni

"Not only are the photos she takes absolutely stunning, she made us as new parents feel totally relaxed and at ease through the whole shoot. Thank you so much for the amazing memories we now have of our little boy as a newborn"

I want to place some really cool photos here, but I can't because the colours don't match.
(Black and White it is then!)

Holidays are EVERYTHING!!!
Everything I do, I do for time with my family

My nickname is 'Chop' - don't ask where it came from, its a funny one!! haha
