Newborn Photography

 

The tiny fingers, sleepy stretches and first cuddles change so quickly. My natural newborn sessions are calm, baby-led and unhurried, preserving those precious early days exactly as they are, in the comfort of your own home or outdoors.

Family Photography

 

The days may feel long, but childhood passes in the blink of an eye. My relaxed outdoor family sessions are all about genuine connection, playful moments and the love you share every day, creating timeless photographs you'll treasure for generations.

Why families love their sessions

 

Every session is relaxed, child-led and completely pressure-free. Rather than stiff poses and forced smiles, I gently guide you while your family laughs, cuddles, explores and simply enjoys being together. From helping you choose the perfect East Yorkshire location to offering styling advice before your session, I'll make sure everything feels easy, so you can focus on making memories. Afterwards, you'll receive a beautifully edited gallery of  timeless images to treasure for years to come.

Meet the Photographer

Hey, my name is Tabitha Stark

I'm a family photographer based in Hessle, East Yorkshire, a wife, and a proud mum to my little boy, Alfie. I believe the most meaningful photographs aren't perfectly posed – they're the laughter, cuddles, muddy boots, windswept hair and quiet moments in between. My goal is to create a calm, enjoyable experience where your family can simply be yourselves while I capture the moments you'll want to hold onto forever.

Testimonials

Tabitha made me and my family feel so at ease, the location she chose was beautiful, her prices for what you receive are amazing and her eye for detail and the photographs we received are beyond what I imagined.

We had the absolute best experience with Tabitha for our family photos! From the very start, she makes you feel so comfortable and confident. On top of that, she was amazing with my girls, keeping them laughing and at ease the entire time.

From the minute we arrived for the session she made us feel comfortable and welcome. I loved the ‘no pressure’ environment that Tabitha created and how she worked around our toddler. The results from the session were outstanding - pure perfection!

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my children don't cooperate?

They don't need to! My sessions are completely child-led, with plenty of time to play, explore and simply be themselves. Some of the most meaningful photographs come from the little in-between moments, not perfectly posed smiles.

Where do your sessions take place?

Most of my sessions take place outdoors at beautiful locations across Hessle, Hull, Beverley and the East Riding. Newborn sessions can also take place in the comfort of your own home, creating relaxed and natural photographs in a space that's familiar to your family.
