Beth at White Iris Photography in Rossendale captures warm, honest family photos. From maternity to newborn and baby sessions, she creates soulful images you’ll treasure forever.
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture — it’s a line that sums up why Beth created White Iris Photography. Based in a cosy studio in Bacup, Rossendale Valley, Beth specialises in family and maternity photography, focused on preserving the small, everyday moments that disappear too quickly. Her work is rooted in genuine connection: the quiet of a new baby sleeping, a toddler’s crooked grin, a mother’s gentle embrace during pregnancy — images you can hold in your heart. Beth’s approach is gentle, patient and family-centred. As a mum to Iris and Rosie, she understands how fleeting childhood is and arranges each session around your family’s rhythm, not the other way round. She aims to create a relaxed, homely atmosphere where children feel safe and parents can enjoy being present. That calm, conversational style helps even the most camera-shy little ones open up, producing natural, emotional photographs rather than stiff posed shots. Specialising in family and maternity work, White Iris Photography pays particular attention to the tiny details — the curl of a newborn’s fingers, a sleepy yawn, the way a child curls into a parent. Beth blends soft, timeless styling with documentary sensitivity so your images feel both beautiful and true to life. Newborn and baby sessions are handled with care and experience, always prioritising comfort and safety while capturing those fleeting newborn features and tender family interactions. How she works: a friendly pre-session chat to understand what matters most to you, a relaxed studio session tailored to your family’s needs, and thoughtful editing that enhances mood without losing authenticity. The result is a gallery of images that reflect your family’s personality and the small gestures you’ll want to remember forever. Choosing White Iris Photography means choosing a photographer who values connection over perfection. If you’re in Rossendale, Lancashire and want family or maternity photos that feel warm, honest and personal, Beth offers an inviting studio experience and an attentive, maternal approach to capturing your story.
