Kind words from wonderful clients. Everything they loved about their family photography shoot. Read their reviews here.
A true professional who is confident in her own photography style and doesn’t follow trends.
I was lucky enough to come across Helen early in her career, and she has photographed my three boys at regular intervals since then. She forms an instant relationship with children of all ages and manages to construct amazing photos while letting the children do their own thing. As a result, the kids love Helen’s visits, and you get pictures that really reflect the individual character of each child.
I have huge admiration for Helen – she is a true professional who is confident in her own photography style and doesn’t follow trends. If you want relaxed yet classic photography of your children being completely themselves, look no further.

Our session with Helen was a five-star experience from start to finish.
Our session with Helen was a five-star experience from start to finish. Our children were two and three at the time and we were a bit worried about concentration span, timing of the shoot, nappy changes, tantrums, etc. We needn’t have worried at all!
From the moment Helen arrived, our children were wonderfully at ease, played hide and seek with her, told her stories and introduced their toys. We drove to a nearby park and just ran around, played, had coffees, basically all the things we would usually do on a Saturday morning.
When the photos arrived, I was incredibly happy to have such a wonderful record of the day and the children’s characters.

It was just so easy.
We all really enjoyed our photoshoot with Helen. It was just so easy. Even when Amy got quite tired and grumpy, Helen was endlessly patient. We were thrilled with the end result, particularly the framed prints. Every time someone comes into my office, they always comment on the beautiful picture of Amy and my in-laws were delighted with their joint birthday present. With another baby on the way, I’m sure it won’t be too long before we’re booking Helen again!

She has a special ability to relate to the camera-shy ten-year-old and the lively eighteen-month old equally well.
We were so pleased to have Helen come and take photos of our family. The shoot was great fun. Helen’s presence was very unobtrusive which led to some beautiful, natural photos that perfectly captured our son’s personality and toddler ways.
Helen was very accommodating of our daily routine and she has a special ability to relate to the camera-shy ten-year-old and the lively eighteen-month old equally well. The pictures wowed everyone and we will treasure them forever!

Helen made everyone feel completely at ease.
We were all very excited and a little nervous, after all, you shouldn’t go in front of a camera with children or animals, and we had both! Helen made everyone feel completely at ease and was able to capture us all in a very natural, relaxed way. The results were amazing – the most fabulous pictures, which we will cherish for many years.

The day after Helen’s visit my son asked when she was coming back as it was, ‘the best day of my life!’
I wasn’t sure what to expect from a photoshoot at home, but after several stressed visits to studios, I wanted some relaxed pictures that capture the spirit of our family. Helen arrived just after breakfast and stayed until lunch as we were all having so much fun!
I introduced Helen to the children as ‘Mummy’s friend’ to help them feel comfortable around her, but next time she visits us it will be as a friend of the whole family. The day after Helen’s visit my son asked when she was coming back as it was, ‘the best day of my life!’ Our albums will be treasured forever.

The main thing I love is that Helen captured the children the way that they really are.
Helen’s photography is an antidote to the over-preened studio shots that are fashionable right now. We went to a place where the kids love to play, and just did what kids do. The main thing I love is that Helen captured the children the way that they really are – dirty, dishevelled and beautiful.

They still talks about Helen a year on!
Not only did we get a fantastic end result with far too many beautiful photos to choose from following Helen’s photo shoot, but I was surprised at just how much I enjoyed the experience. The day was relaxed, fun, creative and I came away feeling like I had spent a very special time with my children, focusing on them and doing just what we should be doing. They still talks about Helen a year on! Can’t wait for the next time!

A great children’s photographer is someone who is so unobtrusive that they capture the essence of your child.
For me, the sign of a great children’s photographer is someone who is so unobtrusive that they capture the essence of your child without them even realising that they are being photographed. Helen is one such photographer – she always manages to produce great shots of my children.
Helen’s beautiful black and white photographs are framed and scattered throughout my home, and we’ve already scheduled our next shoot for the autumn. I cannot recommend Helen highly enough.

Helen’s desire for perfection and customer satisfaction meant she spent a long time making sure our order was just as we wanted it.
We were all thrilled with the beautiful photos Helen has taken of us. Helen is a delightful person to spend a bright but chilly Saturday morning with in Kensington Gardens. We were all relaxed in her company: my two children ran through the wet grass playing tag and cowboys and Indians as she unobtrusively snapped away. Even my husband, the most self- critical of photos of anyone I know, has been desperate for a decent photo of himself with his family, was pleased with the results.
The post shoot selection process is also fun, although there are so many lovely photos to choose from it’s easy to get carried away. Fortunately, we were able to stick to our budget and get some wonderful pictures as well as the digital files. Helen’s desire for perfection and customer satisfaction meant she spent a long time making sure our order was just as we wanted it. We now have some beautiful works of art on our walls and an album full of exquisite memories of that bright but slightly damp and chilly October morning.

Capturing those moments that must exist, but as chasing parents, we never get to see.
Helen has photographed our children on two separate occasions and both times were absolutely fantastic. She takes wonderful pictures, capturing those moments that must exist, but as chasing parents, we never get to see … Beyond her talent as a photographer, however, Helen is great with the kids and fun to be around! She must be one of the best.
