Late summer heathland outdoor photoshoot in Leeds, Yorkshire

There’s something truly magical about capturing maternity portraits outdoors, especially when nature is in full bloom. Recently, I had the joy of photographing a beautiful maternity session in the blooming heather field in north Leeds. The rolling purple tones of the heather created the perfect fine art backdrop, adding softness and romance to this special chapter of motherhood.

My approach to maternity photography is always about blending timeless elegance with natural beauty. The heather fields offered a dreamy, painterly quality that highlighted both the connection between mother and baby and the serenity of the landscape. Flowing gowns, golden evening light, and soft floral tones came together to create portraits that feel both intimate and artistic.

Outdoor maternity sessions like this are ideal for expectant mothers who want something beyond the studio – a way to celebrate pregnancy surrounded by the beauty of nature. Leeds and the surrounding Yorkshire countryside provide endless inspiration, from wildflower meadows to heather fields, giving every session a unique and breathtaking setting.
