Charlotte Elizabeth Photography

I’m Charlotte — a family photographer based in Darton who loves documenting real life with a gentle, natural approach. Family photography is at the heart of what I do: whether you’re after relaxed studio portraits, playful location sessions or the first professional images of your newborn, I specialise in creating photographs that feel like you. My style is warm, unobtrusive and detail-led — I’m happiest capturing the tiny expressions and everyday moments that become treasured memories. My work is built around a few simple beliefs: photography should be enjoyable, honest and uncomplicated. I aim to make shoots fun and relaxed so every member of the family — from sleepy newborns to energetic toddlers — feels comfortable in front of the camera. In the studio we use a variety of backdrops and props to reflect your personality; on location we find the places that matter to you, turning familiar surroundings into beautiful portraits. I always welcome props or items from home to make your images personal and meaningful. How I work with families matters as much as the photographs I deliver. From our first conversation I’ll listen to what you want and guide you through the best options for your family. Sessions are paced to suit your children and I give gentle direction so even the most camera-shy family members feel at ease. After the shoot you’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view and choose your favourites — there are no hidden costs and no minimum print orders. I individually edit images to ensure colour accuracy and composition so the final photographs are something you’ll be proud to display and treasure. I also photograph bump-to-baby journeys and newborn sessions, providing a calm, safe environment to capture those early days. For birthdays and little milestones I offer bright, playful studio sessions (including cake-smash options) that celebrate childhood at every age. Serving Darton and across South Yorkshire (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield), I’m passionate about helping families hold onto the moments that pass by too quickly. If you’re looking for a family photographer who values warmth, storytelling and straightforward service, I’d love to hear about your plans and create photographs you’ll keep forever.
