Capturing the essence of new life, one moment at a time
Bella Vita Photography is a professional photography studio based in Chelmsford, Essex. Our speciality lies in capturing the precious moments of newborns, maternity, and sitter sessions. We provide a relaxed and calm environment, ideal for you and your family to feel at ease during the photoshoot.
Newborn Photography
At Bella Vita Photography, we believe that the perfect age to capture newborns is between 7-14 days old. This age is ideal as newborns are at their littlest and sleepiest, allowing us to capture the most delicate and adorable moments. We understand that every baby is unique, and we will work with you to create a personalised and comfortable environment for your newborn. Our newborn photoshoots last for approximately 2-3 hours, giving us plenty of time to capture a wide variety of images that you will cherish forever.
Maternity Photography
Pregnancy is an incredible journey, and maternity photoshoots are a great way to celebrate this special time in a woman's life. At Bella Vita Photography, we create classic and timeless portraits that focus on you and your magnificent body. We recommend scheduling your maternity photoshoot between 30-32 weeks of pregnancy, as this is the ideal time to capture the beauty of your changing body. During your one-hour session, we will use a variety of custom-made gowns and bodysuits to create stunning images that you will treasure forever.
Sitter Sessions
If you missed out on newborn photos or want to document your baby's latest milestone, our sitter sessions are perfect for capturing the latest stage in your baby's life. We recommend scheduling sitter sessions when your baby is sitting up unassisted, usually between 6-9 months old. These sessions are a great way to document your baby's growth and development, and we will work with you to create a personalised and comfortable environment for your baby.

Booking Your Session
We recommend booking your newborn, maternity, or sitter session well in advance to ensure that we can accommodate your preferred date and time. We keep bookings in each calendar month to a minimum to ensure that we can work around your baby's eventual birth date or your maternity shoot date. If you are booking well in advance, you may want to consider adding maternity photography to your package too.
