My name is Zoe, a professional Gloucestershire photographer. I have a lovely studio, with parking, in Gloucester, within easy reach of Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester and the forest of Dean. I specialise in newborn, baby, children and outdoor family photography. Being trusted by so many lovely families through-out the Cotswolds and beyond to help them capture and celebrate family life, really is a privilege.
I love telling a family's story through the beauty of photography. Photos that hold on to the perfect family moments that would otherwise fade away and we all want to remember those special times. You may be entering the world of parenthood (congratulations!) or looking to update your family photographs.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE EXPECTING A BABY and searching for your newborn photographer in Gloucestershire. Newborn photoshoots are a wonderful experience, offering you a beautiful way to hold on to those precious first weeks. Short and sweet mini newborn photography sessions have been carefully designed for parents that would love a smaller number of beautiful images to remember such a special time.
An older baby photoshoot is so memorable and highlights your baby's developing character, from their cheeky smiles to their cutest expressions. These photoshoots are ideal for babies 3-4-months when grabbing their own feet is so much fun, and 6-9 months when your baby is loving the independent life of sitting up all on their own.
Time to update your family photos. If you are like me, you will have loads of photographs of your children, but very few of you all together accept selfies. Over the last 12 years, as an outdoor family photographer in Gloucestershire, I have had been trusted by so many lovely families to capture their special family moments.
Having professional headshots taken has never been more important now that we live in the 'Social Media Age'. I had some headshots done with Zoe which I was extremely happy with. She listened to me and what I would like. She's very creative and knows exactly what she's doing, I had every confidence in her and the results were fab.

I contacted Zoe very late notice and she was able to fit me in for a newborn mini shoot. As a first time mum I really didn’t know what to expect, and was quite anxious as she was my first visit out the house since having my son. We arrived and she promptly collected us from her driveway, with a mask after showing us her face. We entered her studio which was warm and calm, and she immediately concentrated on keeping our newborn calm and aware of surroundings. Throughout the session, my son got hungry and Zoe even offered to give him his bottle. She played her own voice via white noise throughout

We had a newborn shoot with Zoe when Luna was only 8 days old. As first time parents we were so nervous about taking her out of the house not really knowing what we were doing! Zoe was so understanding and really put as at ease as soon as we got there and she was amazing with Luna. The photos were absolutely amazing we just had to buy them all. We couldn't recommend her enough.

We had a great experience at Natural Essence Photography on our newborn photo shoot. Zoe was recommended to us and we are so glad we went to her; she is extremely professional and a very talented photographer. Zoe made me and my husband feel totally at ease and truly was the baby whisperer with our 12 day old son who settled so well in her calming presence. The studio is warm, comfortable and relaxing and the time flew by as we enjoyed the experience. Zoe really listened to what we wanted and we are absolutely thrilled with the photos. We went for the full newborn shoot option which gave a really

It was an absolute joy to work with Zoe on the mini shoot because she made the entire experience very easy for us. My 2 year old was all over the place but she managed to capture the right moments demonstrating her incredible professionalism and also extreme patience. Very impressed with the quality of your work and would like to revisit in a few years again to capture key moments & milestones.
Thank you Zoe for the photos and for helping us create beautiful memories.

We went for the mini shoot option. It was perfect for us as Eva has no siblings and we weren't too bothered about being in pictures so the shoot gave us everything we needed. Zoe did an amazing job and kept Eva very calm and focused. Zoe even did a nappy change 👍 The pictures are amazing and we couldn't help but purchase some extras.

Had a mini family session to get some pictures done of our children. So so pleased with the photos we got. Zoe was amazing with the kids and really helped to coax them out of their shells and get some really natural beautiful shots. We would definitely book with her again if we wanted more photos taken. The images were of fantastic quality and Zoe processed our order very quickly and efficiently but there was never any pressure to buy more. Zoe clearly is very passionate about what she does and is so talented.

We first went to Zoe for our first daughters newborn photoshoot, we were overwhelmed by just how beautiful the pictures were. Not only the quality but how calm Zoe remains through the whole photo shoot, she’s brilliant with the babies and really captures their new little personalities. We went back with our second daughter for another newborn/family shoot, Zoe had the tricky job of shooting 2 under 2 and a 6 year old but as expected she still managed to capture absolutely beautiful pictures with all of their wonderful personalities showing through. Highly recommended from us!
