She somehow manages to capture amazing moments that are seemingly invisible to the naked eye.
We have never been anything less than thrilled with Helen’s photographs. She somehow manages to capture amazing moments that are seemingly invisible to the naked eye. A delight to work with, I couldn’t rate or recommend Helen more highly.

Helen was flexible, professional and super friendly and made the whole experience (one that we were slightly nervous about) a total pleasure.
Our morning with Helen was fabulous. Having met briefly when Helen took beautiful pictures at our nephew’s birthday party, Helen arrived at our flat and was instantly a hit with our daughter. Helen was flexible, professional and super friendly and made the whole experience (one that we were slightly nervous about) a total pleasure.
Pre and post shoot admin has been easy and efficient, and going through the finished photos with Helen’s assistant was lovely. Our only problem was choosing which ones to keep!
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the end-to-end service to anyone considering taking the plunge.

Helen has a great sense of fun. She’s up for capturing your family being your family.
I cannot recommend Helen highly enough. Her approach is just so lovely. On the days of both the family shoots that Helen has done, she has made us feel totally at ease and taken away all the stress of catching that perfect moment. All the behind the scenes stuff is executed very fast and efficiently too.
Helen really does have an unbelievably considerate approach, from arriving early to catch children before they are tired, and when the moment comes noticing that family members young or old need a break. She is a brilliant judge of personalities and had a knack of working with everyone in a very friendly and personal way, ensuring she captures the best in all the family.
Very importantly, Helen has a great sense of fun. She’s up for capturing your family being your family. Be it climbing trees, cuddling the dog or falling in a pond! She takes it all in her stride and allows you to be natural and un-self-conscious. The results speak for themselves, stunning images of a moment in time. I would not hesitate to recommend booking Helen.

We have a house covered with extraordinary, striking, unique and beautiful images of our family.
Helen has been taking photographs of our children for many years now and I can’t imagine ever asking her to stop. Not only is she wonderful with the children but the results are always truly outstanding. We have a house covered with extraordinary, striking, unique and beautiful images of our family thanks to Helen. I could not recommend her more highly.

Helen manages to take phenomenal photos of you and your family in your everyday environment.
Helen has photographed our family on a number of occasions, and the experience has always been fantastic. Not only is the time that she spends with us very enjoyable, it is also a very relaxed experience as Helen manages to take phenomenal photos of you and your family in your everyday environment. Therefore, the photos always look very natural and relaxed.
I still don’t know how Helen manages to capture such great photos with such ease and aplomb, but she does it every time and our friends always comment on how great they are. I would recommend Helen to anyone.

The premier family photographer in London.
Helen Bartlett is an outstanding artist and the premier family photographer in London. Her work is both surprising and timeless. Over the years we have had the pleasure of spending several mornings with her and the images she captures have a spontaneous quality that often eludes other photographers. Helen is one of the sweetest people we have ever met, a quality that translates into an empathetic relationship with our children who are happy to spend hours being photographed by her.
Every photo book we have as a result of our mornings with Helen are a cherished memento of our growing family and we are grateful to have them. The books are of outstanding quality and can easily withstand a child handling them over and over and even after five years they still look as new. We couldn’t recommend Helen more.

Quickly builds a great rapport with the children.
Helen combines the ability to quickly build a great rapport with the children – putting them at ease so they are free to relax and express themselves – with the ability to take wonderful pictures which manage to capture the essence of the child and the moment.

I felt totally relaxed and confident in Helen’s professional ability.
Despite having a deep-seated phobia of having my photograph taken, I enjoyed every moment of our photo shoot with Helen. From the moment we met, I felt totally relaxed and confident in Helen’s professional ability. She has a natural ease with children and my daughter was completely her normal self throughout; the pictures capture all her usual lovely, quirky expressions.
Spending time with Helen viewing the final images was extremely helpful and her suggestions for prints were very much appreciated. I would highly recommend the whole experience to anyone wanting beautiful real-life images of their family or friends.

Memories of a family day, not a family photo shoot.
Being a children’s photographer myself, I had high hopes and expectations of how Helen would approach our shoot and what she would come up with. I was not disappointed.
The measure of a social documentary photographer is their ability to get cracking images that convey the spirit of what is happening with no interference in those events. We hardly noticed that Helen was there, and the memories of the day that Helen came to photograph us are of a family day, not a family photography shoot.
But the real proof is always in the pudding – and for that just look at the images!

Unobtrusively capturing 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.
