Kind words from wonderful clients. Everything they loved about their family photography shoot. Read their reviews here.

Helen was fantastic.

We were absolutely thrilled to have Helen come and take a beautiful set of photos of our daughter. Helen was fantastic – she worked around the chaos of a newborn and was very sensitive to the challenging routine of feeds and changes.

The photographs are perfect. We love the natural style. The closest thing to a problem we have is that Helen has taken so many beautiful photographs, we are finding it tricky to pick favourites!

We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Helen seems to be part of our family – having been the photographer at our wedding, she has now seen our family grow and has photographed both our young children. She is fantastic, a natural! She puts everyone at ease and captures the most amazing moments.

We cannot recommend her highly enough. You just need lots of wall space in your home for all the photos as it’s impossible to choose!

– Susie

The pictures are happy and so reflective of the relationships between different family members.

Our eldest son went to university this October. It struck me before he left that it was a very long time since we had a good family photograph taken. I trawled the web looking for something different than the formal posed pictures we had taken previously. I came across Helen’s website and loved how natural the pictures were and the way she captured so much personality of the people she photographed.

We were not disappointed. The whole experience was so much fun, as we walked around the beech woods. It was like going for a walk with a friend. She then came back to our house and took pictures as we made music.

The pictures are happy and so reflective of the relationships between different family members, with cheeky glances, knowing looks, giggles, laughter and friendship. I will really treasure these pictures and the wonderful way she captured the essence of my precious family.

The result is a collection of beautiful and sensitive images of a fleeting and magical time in our lives.

We had a great day with Helen. She had Joshua completely engaged for hours, and we ended up with a whole load of fantastic photos. Most importantly we felt completely relaxed and there was lots of laughter during the time Helen was with us. She’s a natural with little ones, and even I felt OK having my photo taken!

The pictures are so beautiful. The photographs completely capture the very essence of Joshua’s personality, which is exactly what we wanted.

The result is a collection of beautiful and sensitive images of a fleeting and magical time in our lives. The album is a real work of art and a great keepsake, all of our friends always comment on how beautiful it is!

Helen was very accommodating of my tiny baby’s feeding needs.

Helen came and took some photographs of us as a family, not long after our daughter was born. Helen and my 8-year-old son hit it off straight away, which helped a great deal in making the shoot a very relaxing and pleasant time. Helen was very accommodating of my tiny baby’s feeding needs – and that day all she wanted to do was feed!

The photographs that Helen took were just stunning and will be treasured by all of us. Having seen photos that friends have had done by other photographers there just isn’t a comparison really – Helen’s images are amazing.

So, if you are looking at investing in some photographs of your family that you can treasure forever, I cannot think of a better person to go to than Helen.

– Alison

I would recommend her without hesitation.

Helen has taken two sets of photographs for us, and we were absolutely thrilled with the results. Somehow, she managed to capture our daughter’s personality, and the photographs look so natural and happy – they are a joy.

Helen has a lovely way of making the session effortless, but she is always thinking about the composition and it means so many shots look as if they come straight out of a magazine, they are so well put together.

Many friends have asked for her details and I would recommend her without hesitation.

– Sarah

She takes photos that are breathtaking.

Helen is simply brilliant when it comes to photography. She takes photos that are breathtaking. They are so natural and really capture the moment which is really precious especially when it comes to photos of babies, children and families.

I was very happy with the photo quality, service, speed and professionalism with which Helen and her staff worked to produce the most amazing photos of our family.

– Megumi

Highly recommended.

We received a photography session with Helen as a gift and were absolutely delighted with the results. Helen is very friendly and put all of our family at their ease – the children played happily, resulting in wonderful, natural photos. Highly recommended.

– Karena

We love her work and will be using her again.

Helen’s photography is beautiful. She manages to really capture the essence of childhood and those precious family moments. We love her work and will be using her again to create a timeless record of our growing family.

I have never come across anything that comes close to her standards.

Helen photographed both my girls when they were just a few days old, and I can sincerely say that the photos and albums she produced are some of my most treasured possessions. Her photography is exquisite, and she manages to produce the most stunning pictures from the most ordinary surroundings. Having the newborn shoots done at home, and Helen’s natural affinity with children, make the whole experience relaxed and very enjoyable.

To then have Helen’s assistant bring the pictures to us to preview and order is another luxury, and also allowed us to feel very involved in the final product. I have yet to find anybody who has not been struck with the quality of the finished product, both the photographs and their presentation.

I cannot recommend Helen highly enough, and I have never come across anything that comes close to her standards.

The pictures are stunning and there were so many to choose from.

We are so delighted to have found Helen and her team to take photographs of our young family. Helen dedicates lots of time to the job and put us all at ease, photographing us in our environment with wonderful results. The pictures are stunning and there were so many to choose from. The album she produced was so well done there was no way we wouldn’t have ordered it, along with the multiple prints!

– Clemy

Helen is a complete natural with children (and camera-shy adults!).

We have had two photoshoots with Helen and both have had fantastic results, we have been so happy with both process and finished product. Helen is a complete natural with children (and camera-shy adults!) and produces stunning photographs which we will treasure forever. She is a lovely person and a great photographer. We are already looking forward to seeing her the next time!
