Manchester Maternity, Newborn & Family Photography


Where ART meets MEMORY


Creating artistic, emotive & natural photography across manchester & the north west



A dedicated page for Manchester families who love timeless, natural storytelling.



Motherhood is made of small, quiet moments, the kind that often pass unnoticed but shape your family story. I’m Chloe, an intimate Manchester maternity, newborn and family photographer, capturing authentic, artful images for families who value connection over posing.


Whether you’re preparing to welcome a new baby, soaking in the newborn days, or documenting the beautiful chaos of family life, my work centres on emotion, tenderness and authenticity. I focus on the real interactions, the way your child leans into you, the soft curl of a newborn's fingers, the comfort of a mother's embrace. This is photography that remembers the feeling.

A little about me


CHLOE STARKIE PHOTOGRAPHY


As a mother of two, I know how quickly each chapter shifts into the next. As a Manchester family photographer my work is rooted in honouring the softness, the mess, the emotion and all the little moments that hold big feelings.

My style blends artistic intimacy with an editorial touch: earthy tones, gentle guidance, and thoughtful use of light. It’s imagery that feels like home natural, polished, and deeply emotive.

I travel through Manchester often, photographing families who want something more meaningful than traditional portraits. If you are drawn to images that feel real, warm and timeless, we’ll be a perfect match.
