Newborn, maternity and family photographer capturing timeless, sentimental moments, covering Hertfordshire, Essex, London and beyond




"Nicole is absolutely amazing! She made us feel at ease immediately and captured so many beautiful moments of us with our daughter. We will cherish these photos and cannot recommend Nicole Saunders Photography enough"
Welcome

Hi, I’m Nicole, and I’m so pleased you’ve found me! I’m based in Bishop’s Stortford, just on the Hertfordshire/Essex borders, and I’m a mummy to two little ones who love to keep me on my toes, and also a huge sentimentalist (if that’s even a word!).
As a lifestyle photographer, my passion is bottling up the memories of families, whole families, not just the kids, so you all have a legacy to look back on. Warm-hearted, intimate moments of nostalgia – this is what fills my heart, and I’d love to share it with you too.
TIMELESS STORIES OF motherhood FOR THE SENTIMENTAL
Are you pregnant and desperate to capture those hazy newborn days that you’ve been warned fly by so fast? Or maybe you’re slightly dying inside at how quickly your children are growing up? Feeling heartbroken that you have so few photos of you with your children? Or are you worried that those phone snaps of your kids will never again see the light of day apart from a quick scroll a year from now when they pop up on your Google Photo memories?
Don’t worry – I’ve got your back.

My Approach
Whether you’re looking to document your journey to motherhood with a maternity session or want your family life captured, my style is relaxed, unposed and natural. It’s all about documenting you as you really are, honouring and preserving your story in all its raw and beautiful detail.
I offer both outdoor and in-home shoots – both of which have their benefits but are equally beautiful. My sessions are child-led, whether that’s a newborn baby or older. An investment into your family memories to be treasured forever – to get those natural moments, we let ourselves be guided by the little ones.
"Such a wonderful photo shoot this afternoon, Nicole has the personal touch and made the shoot a fun experience for our family. We are looking forward to using Nicole again in the near future."
