Meet Hannah Elizabeth
Hi, I’m Hannah Elizabeth, a photographer based on the edge of Lydney in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.
I specialise in newborn & family photography,
Whether it’s your baby's very first days or a joyful family session in nature, I create natural, heartfelt images that tell your story in an honest, beautiful way.
I photographed my very first newborn back in 2013, and from that moment, I was hooked.
There’s something incredibly special about being trusted to document such a fleeting, precious time, those tiny toes, sleepy smiles, and quiet cuddles that pass far too quickly.
I also love photographing families outdoors, surrounded by the beauty of the Forest of Dean. My favourite locations for family sessions include the spring meadow, usually bursting with bluebells of the Forest of Dean Nature Reserve, where we’re sometimes lucky enough to spot deer or even wild boar.
If you're looking for a friendly, experienced Forest of Dean photographer to capture your baby’s milestones
or create beautiful memories with your loved ones, I’d be honored to work with you.
Let’s make some magic.

Hannah is absolutely amazing! We had a newborn shoot with our first almost 3 years ago and returned recently with our second. The photos are worth every penny and she is so calm and patient throughout the shoot. Highly recommend.

I have been coming to Hannah for just over a year, first for a maternity and then for my baby’s first-year shoot. Hannah is absolutely amazing. The photos she delivers are incredible, with many beautiful images to cherish for years. The studio is lovely and easy to find. Hannah is great with children, even moody ones, and always manages to capture amazing photos. I can’t wait to return to Hannah for future shoots.

Hannah is absolutely amazing! The family photos she took are beautiful and will be treasured as we grow. She was patient with my older children and calm when my eldest didn’t want to pose—honestly a miracle worker! The quality and quantity of photos made her incredible value for money. Overall, the experience and results absolutely deserve 5*. Hannah is genuinely a good person and very skilled at her job!
