Ellie J is a Coventry-based family photographer specialising in relaxed, natural family and newborn portraits. She creates warm, authentic images that celebrate your family's story.
Ellie J Newborn & Family Photography is a Coventry-based specialist in family photography, dedicated to capturing the little moments that make your family unique. With a gentle, unobtrusive approach, Ellie focuses on natural connection rather than stiff poses, so each portrait feels candid, warm and honest. Whether you’re gathering the whole family or bringing along a new baby or bump, her work aims to turn everyday interactions into timeless photographs you’ll want to display and revisit. Sessions are relaxed and child-friendly, designed around how your family genuinely behaves. Ellie guides but doesn’t direct — she creates a calm atmosphere where children can be themselves and parents can relax. For newborn and baby sessions she uses a patient, reassuring style to ensure comfort and safety, working at the baby’s pace so she can capture those fleeting expressions and tiny details. Maternity sessions follow the same philosophy: quiet, emotive images that celebrate the transition to parenthood. Ellie understands the practical realities of photographing families: short attention spans, shy toddlers, or a treasured pet who wants to join the shot. She welcomes family dynamics and, when appropriate, includes pets in sessions to reflect your real family life. Cake-smash and first-birthday portraits are also part of her family offering, crafted to feel fun, relaxed and unforgettable for both children and parents. From your first enquiry to the final gallery, Ellie aims to make the experience straightforward and enjoyable. She invests time in understanding what matters most to you — whether that’s candid lifestyle portraits at home, playful outdoor shots around Coventry, or intimate newborn images in her studio — and shapes each session to suit your family’s personality. The result is a collection of images that feel lived-in, sincere and made to last. Rooted in Coventry and serving families across the local area, Ellie J brings warmth, patience and a fine eye for detail to every shoot. If you’re looking for a family photographer who prioritises authentic moments, comfortable sessions and images that truly reflect your story, Ellie offers a thoughtful, experienced approach that puts your family at the heart of every picture.
