York-based newborn, maternity and family photographer. I work with parents who value real, natural light images, meaningful experiences, and photographs that feel as beautiful years from now as they do today.
I am so passionate about empowering Mothers because there is NOTHING that compares to it - we made eyelashes for crying out loud!
My relaxing studio offers a sanctuary for pre- and post-natal families; a peaceful, calming home with soft music and natural lighting with all the tea and biscuits you could ask for.
Mum (and Dog Mum), photographer, runner, coffee frappe enthusiast and baby whisperer
I am Mum to two rainbow babies. I understand the crazy journey you are on and I only capture families EXACTLY how I want to look back at my own.
I keep things FUN! I make sure you and your team feel right at home, whether in the studio or outdoors. The best photos come when you're all laughing with me, not when you're saying cheese to a stranger.
I'm married to my best friend, we met in 2012, and I couldn't be more inspired by the man that he is and the parent he has become. He hates having his photo taken, so I've learned all the tricks to get him out of his shell. Best believe I bring this energy!
I am a runner - it's my therapy and I'm addicted. It means I can chase after your toddler.. who hasthe energy of a horse after eating one and a half grapes.
My studio is a place for you to escape from all the chaos and noise from the outside - I escape there with you to create gorgeous memories of your family for you to treasure for a lifetime.
I'm a Mum who is ALL in for family - mine and yours.
THEY RUN THE SHOW
Whether you're bringing your newborn, toddler or older kiddo, they run the show. If they need feeding, cuddling, burping, or a full dramatic protest about life - we pause. There will never be a rush here.
WE'RE NOT DOING AWKWARD
You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s my job. All you need to do is show up ready to have a gorgeous old time and to drink lots of tea. I’ll guide you into natural, comfortable poses so you can focus on cuddling your baby.
REAL LIFE IS WELCOME HERE
Babies cry, toddlers wander, someone WILL need a snack. None of it phases me - I have two girls, one of which is a redhead with the personality to match it. Between than and shooting hundreds of family, I have seen it all before, in abundance. You cannot shock me.. Feel free to try though!
CONNECTION OVER EVERYTHING
I put everything in to making you and your family feel at home with me, people often say it was like catching up with an old friend or going on a play date. That is the energy we're bringing. Easy, relaxed, comfortable and fun.
My Non-Negotiables
"As soon as we saw Lucy's portfolio, we instantly fell in love! Her stunning photos that captured little ones and families so effortlessly was just the thing we were after.
On arrival at our shoot, we immediately felt so welcome & relaxed and despite our baby not quite playing ball with smiling at the camera, Lucy managed to capture the most beautiful photos that we'll treasure forever. The whole process, from booking to choosing our final gallery, was absolutely seamless and Lucy was always on hand to answer any questions.
We'd 1000% recommend Lucy Rose Studios to anyone looking to create lasting memories with their little ones! Thank you Lucy!"

"Could not recommend Lucy more highly - we have received the most amazing gorgeous photos and the whole experience was great.I wondered if I was a bit crazy travelling from London with a toddler and 9 week old baby but everything was so organised and Lucy was incredible during the session - I would absolutely do it again.
She made absolute magic happen getting beautiful photos of our ‘slightly older’ newborn and her hyperactive 2 year old sister and was a joy to be around making us feel completely at ease and not at all pressured during the shoot. Thank you so much Lucy"

"Wow! What can I say! The reason I enquired with Lucy was I obviously loved her style but the reason I booked was because simply she was lovely!
She fit us in last minute and was very accommodating. She made me feel super relaxed about the day. She was fantastic with my little boy, who had the best time. Our photos are stunning and exactly what I wanted to capture our family at that moment in time with our newborn and toddler.
Thank you so much! I am certain we will be back again for further shoots in the future."
