Maternity, Motherhood + Family Photographer in York, for the sentimental at heart

I’m Dori! A family, maternity and motherhood photographer in York. I believe photos are more than snapshots—they’re heartfelt memories, grown from that soft, candid connection you share. I capture the quiet, joyful and in-between moments that reveal the true beauty of your family’s story.

A session with me holds no pressure + no posing. Just come as you are.

Why choose me to capture your story?

Genuine Storytelling - I photograph what is, not what is posed. I’ll never ask you to look at the camera and say ‘cheese’.

Built for Families- From bump to baby, baby to teenager and beyond. My sessions are designed to reflect your evolving journey

Film & Digital Expertise — I offer both dreamy 35mm film and digital formats, marrying nostalgia with clarity.

Location- York is one of the country’s most beautiful cities and with North Yorkshire on its doorstep you have a choice of dramatic moorland and beaches to woodlands and valleys. I’ve got a location to suit everyone.
