Heather Elliott Photography

I’m Heather, the photographer behind Heather Elliott Photography — a Bradford-based specialist in family photography. I’ve turned my passion for photographing families into my life’s work, and I love creating images that become part of your home and your family story. My aim is simple: to capture the connections, small gestures and everyday magic that make your family unique, in portraits you’ll be proud to display. What sets my family work apart is a focus on natural, timeless portraiture combined with a relaxed, welcoming studio experience. I work with children of all ages and I happily include pets and multiple generations — after all, they are part of the family. Rather than stiff poses, I seek real moments: warm glances, laughter, and the small details that bring a photograph to life. The result is classic, wall-ready art that will be treasured for years. My approach is personal and practical. Before we even pick up a camera I’ll guide you through styling and wardrobe choices so your images feel cohesive and timeless. On the day I create a calm, child-friendly atmosphere where everyone can be themselves — I chat, play, and gently coax natural expressions so even the most camera-shy family members relax. I’m hands-on and patient when working with little ones, always focused on making the session enjoyable for everyone. I believe photographs should be more than files on a phone — they should live on your walls and become part of everyday life. That’s why I help clients choose display options that suit their home and style, so your favourite images can be enjoyed daily and passed down through generations. Based in Bradford, I welcome families from across the region who want heartfelt, beautifully crafted portraits. If you’re looking for a family photographer who combines warmth, creative vision and an eye for the timeless, let’s talk. I’d love to capture the personality and love that make your family special.
