Kind words from wonderful clients. Everything they loved about their family photography shoot. Read their reviews here.
Neither my husband or I like having our photo taken but you managed to capture the spirit of our family and bring out the best in all three of us.
Thank you Helen for an absolutely amazing day. Neither my husband or I like having our photo taken but you managed to capture the spirit of our family and bring out the best in all three of us. We are absolutely thrilled with our prints and can’t wait to hang the big one. It will make us smile every day.
You really were amazing at making us all relaxed and not laughing at the ridiculous number of outfit changes and nervous nattering that was going on from our side. You were just wonderful and we can’t wait to have you over again. Thank you for the memories.

She is always sensitive to the needs of the parents and children.
Helen is a wonderful photographer who produces beautiful photographs that are timeless and classic, yet also modern and relaxed. She photographed my sons a few days after each was born and made the whole experience very special. She is never intrusive while shooting, and the shoots are great fun. This is crucial, since the first few days after giving birth can be overwhelming!
She is always sensitive to the needs of the parents and children and is always happy to work around the need to feed and change. She is very creative, and a shoot with her is so much better than having a standard photoshoot in a studio. She also makes sleep-deprived parents look fantastic! We love the images, as did all our family and friends. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

If you want a fabulous child photographer look no further!
We’ve been using Helen since our first boy was born over seven years ago, now three boys later …
Helen really gets children. She is 100% genuine and I think kids can really pick up on that. She goes the extra mile, getting dirty in the mud to get that shot and doesn’t complain when there’s yet another interruption!
Helen always gets fab shots of all of us which really capture everyone’s individual personality as well as the family (including grandparents) which is probably the reason we go back to her every year!

Helen knows exactly how to tailor a shoot to fit the stage that a child is at and the result for me has been two sets of photos I shall treasure for ever.
Helen has photographed my daughter twice, as a newborn and then again at about eighteen months: I couldn’t have been happier with the photos! Helen’s photos are wonderfully natural and really captured the character of my daughter. The shoots were really easy and my daughter had a great time (as did I). But Helen’s relaxed style didn’t stop the photos she took from being beautifully framed and balanced. She was very creative in suggesting what actions I could do with my daughter to give her the opportunity to get the best images possible. Nothing fazed Helen (when my wife pointed out an ugly rip in my shirt, Helen was unruffled and found ways to hide it). The photos would be gorgeous to look at even if I wasn’t looking with the biased eye of a father at his daughter.
Like all babies and toddlers, my daughter changes so quickly, so the photos from the two shoots are very different. I’m so glad that we had both photoshoots. Helen knows exactly how to tailor a shoot to fit the stage that a child is at and the result for me has been two sets of photos I shall treasure for ever.

She has an eye for the right angles, the big shots and the quirky detail, and can turn any space into a studio.
The annual photoshoot with Helen is coming dangerously close to becoming a family tradition.
Spending time with her is like catching up with an old friend, and we’d almost forget that she carries a large camera wherever she goes, were it not for the odd ‘click’. She has an eye for the right angles, the big shots and the quirky detail, and can turn any space into a studio.
The photos that result from these sessions always delight, often surprise and somehow seem to capture the essence of our son and our family.
And we have already invited her over to our place for later this year!

The photos she produced were nothing short of superb.
Since our daughter was born three years ago we have engaged Helen Bartlett’s services on two occasions.
The photos she produced were nothing short of superb and her relaxed informal style helped to produce the best results from the subjects.
We have had no shortage of positive feedback from friends and family alike (plus a few tears from grandmas).
Our only problem was deciding which photos from a selection of around seventy not to utilise – I promise you the choice will be hard.
We have no hesitation in recommending Helen to anyone and for that reason Helen Bartlett Photography achieves the top rating in our opinion.

The shots Helen took on that day are such a beautifully intimate record of those precious moments we enjoyed as a newly-founded family of four.
Helen is an incredibly talented photographer and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for natural family portraits. She came to our home to photograph our newborn twins and did everything to make us feel at ease. The shots Helen took on that day are such a beautifully intimate record of those precious moments we enjoyed as a newly-founded family of four and are ones that we will cherish for many, many years to come!

Helen makes you feel completely at ease which result in truly natural photographs.
We have been fortunate to work with Helen on a number of occasions. The relationship started when Helen was mine and Susie’s wedding photographer. The photos were amazing and a number of our guests have also used her as their photographer. We have since used Helen a number of times to record our children and us as a family. We love the photo shoots and the photographs capture the moment precisely. Helen makes you feel completely at ease which result in truly natural photographs. We can’t recommend her enough.

Helen is not only a superb photographer, but she understands kids and how they work.
Truly fabulous. Helen spent the morning with us capturing my two-year-old daughter’s first experience of snow. The photos are fantastic and we treasure them. Helen is not only a superb photographer, but she understands kids and how they work which was evident when she asked about sleep times etc and scheduled around what would work best. This resulted in not only fab photos but a really enjoyable shoot.

Helen always produces stunning pictures that take your breath away.
Helen makes capturing family moments so easy with her natural style. She covered our wedding, our first and second sons’ early days and now has flown out to capture our latest adventure in Switzerland. We have so many amazing memories down on paper in great photos thanks to Helen and I look forward to many more! Helen always produces stunning pictures that take your breath away, they are so different with such original framing.

An ability to create a calm and fun atmosphere to get the most out of everyone involved.
Helen has an incredible talent. She came to our home on a rainy October Friday and captured the most stunning and entertaining pictures of our four-month-old baby. Not only does Helen have an amazing eye for capturing photographs, she has an ability to create a calm and fun atmosphere to get the most out of everyone involved.
We are very lucky to have been able to have a session with Helen and now we have the most amazing album to treasure until the time comes to pass it on to our daughter. We couldn’t recommend Helen highly enough.

Helen was great at putting us at ease and genuinely didn’t mind that I had to disappear to do extra-long feeds. It was all so relaxing.
Helen took photos of us with our new baby daughter when she was just seven days old. We had a fantastic experience and have the most wonderful photographs to treasure for always. Helen was ever so accommodating – my daughter was two weeks overdue so we had to be fluid with the date we had the pictures taken – which was no problem.
On the day, Helen was great at putting us at ease and genuinely didn’t mind that I had to disappear to do extra-long feeds. It was all so relaxing.
We had a great experience choosing the photos (although we wanted all of them, they were so great!)
We can’t wait to have more photos taken once our little girl is older!
