Bella Vita Photography

Bella Vita Photography My name is Jo and I'm a professional newborn photographer based in Chelmsford in Essex, and my passion is newborn photography.

Being a parent myself I know how priceless beautiful images of your children are, and it's creating those images for other parents that motivates me the most. Newborn photography is my passion. There's nothing sweeter or more precious than a squishy newborn baby. Every parent will tell you how fast time passes in those first few weeks so it's really important to capture every tiny detail on camera

- and that's where I come in. My shooting style is calm and relaxed and my main aim is to provide you with images that you will cherish forever.

It’s About You Too

Newborn photography isn’t just about photographing your baby.

It’s about photographing you with your baby.

The way you look at them.

The way you hold them.

The way they settle against your chest.

The connection between you that words simply can’t describe.

Because one day your little one will look at these photographs and see just how deeply they were loved from the very beginning.

No Perfect Baby Required

Your baby doesn’t need to sleep through the whole session.

They don’t need to be settled the entire time.

They don’t need to pose perfectly.

In fact, that’s one of the things I love most about lifestyle newborn photography.

Your baby gets to simply be a baby.

We work around feeds, cuddles, nappy changes, little stretches, sleepy faces and wide-awake curiosity.

Because these are the moments that make up those first precious weeks—and they’re all worth remembering.

A Little Slice of Your Life

Lifestyle newborn photography isn’t about creating a perfectly styled scene.

It’s about creating photographs that feel like your family.

The way your baby sleeps on your chest.

The cuddles in your bedroom.

The laughter when you’re all together.

The slightly chaotic, completely beautiful reality of bringing a new baby home.

Real moments. Real connection. Real memories.

No Studio. No Stress.

Imagine waking up, feeding your baby, having a coffee and not having to rush anywhere.

That’s the beauty of an in-home newborn session.

I come to you.

Your baby stays in their own surroundings, you stay comfortable, and we take our time capturing your family naturally.

No pressure.
No rushing.
No need for your baby to “perform.”

Just beautiful memories, made at home.

Awake or Asleep

One of the questions I hear most often is:

“What if the baby doesn’t sleep?”

My answer?

That’s absolutely fine.

Some of my favourite images happen when babies are wide awake—looking around, stretching, taking everything in.

Others happen during those beautiful sleepy cuddles.

There is no right way for your baby to be during your session.

We’ll simply follow their lead and capture them exactly as they are.

The Beauty of Home

Your home might not feel particularly tidy right now.

There may be washing waiting to be folded, bottles on the counter and baby things everywhere.

But that’s real life.

And one day, you’ll look back at these photographs and realise that this was your life with your tiny newborn.

The quiet mornings.
The cuddles on the sofa.
The little nursery.
The way you held them.

Lifestyle photography is about capturing your family in the place where your story is actually unfolding.

Nothing Forced

There’s no need to force a smile.

No need to get baby into the “perfect” position.

No need to worry about whether everything is going according to plan.

Lifestyle photography is beautifully uncomplicated.

We slow down, we follow your baby’s cues and we let the moments happen.

The magic is usually found in what’s happening naturally.

Right Where You Belong 🤍

There really is nowhere quite like home.

The place where your baby has their first cuddles, their first sleepy mornings and all those tiny everyday moments that you’ll one day wish you could bottle up forever.

Lifestyle newborn sessions take place right here, in the comfort of your own home.

No rushing out the door. No unfamiliar surroundings. Just you, your baby and those beautiful little moments that happen naturally.

Awake, asleep, unsettled, cuddly—it doesn’t matter.

It’s not just babies that are cute 🥰 we so often focus on capturing images of our children when they’re babies/toddlers - and we forget that it’s just as important to capture portraits like this as they get older too. Keep your eyes peeled for details of my next personality portrait sessions.
