Below are some of my 5-star testimonials from my lovely happy clients.
Myself and my other half cannot recommend Karen enough. As a photographer myself, it took a while to find the perfect Newborn photographer for my little one. Our Robyn was a little miracle, it was so important for us to find someone who could capture this moment for us as we never thought we would be blessed with the gift of life. From the initial phone consultation all the way through to the photoshoot experience today, the customer service was always there and the quality of work outshines many others. I am totally overwhelmed by the incredible image Karen has produced for us already and I look forward to seeing the rest. I cannot thank you enough Karen, it really means a lot to us what you’ve done today and the incredible work you have produced
~ Karen Sanders
Can’t even put into words how amazing and talented this lady is! We had the mini newborn photo shoot and she was fantastic - so patient and passionate about what she does. The images we received are breath taking.
~ Clara Neale
We had a newborn mini photoshoot with Karen at the end of January and from my initial enquiry Karen was just lovely. We arrived on a freezing cold January day and the studio was toasty warm. Karen engaged with my 5 year old and really knew how to get the best from my newborn. She was patient and kind. My other half hates having his photo taken, but also felt relaxed. We are both in love with the end result and will be going back to Karen for future family photoshoots. Thank you so much x

We had such a lovely morning with Karen. I would recommend her to anyone with a little one. Much more personal and enjoyable than other high street photographers.
~ Hannah Kennard
My husband and I did an older baby shoot with Karen just before Christmas with our 11 week old and we are so happy with our experience! Karen is so unbelievably professional, kind, warm and patient and the whole experience was a delight. From our arrival, the room is warm, comfortable and Karen worked completely at our pace allowing for a range of different poses, outfit changes, feeds, baby having a nap or needing a change! And alongside this, my husband and I don’t feel the most confident in terms of being in front of the camera but Karen’s guidance and expertise helped us to feel completely comfortable. We are ecstatic with the images. We already knew we had the most beautiful baby but Karen captured her so spectacularly and the shots including my husband and I were equally stunning. These images will last a lifetime and were worth every single penny. I CANNOT recommend Karen more!
~Zoe Gabbidon
Karen is amazing, there are no other words. A friendly, professional woman who, as a mother herself, is great with children and babies. The session was so relaxing and fun. The photos Karen took were more than we could have hoped.
~ Laura Hill Miller
We had a session with Karen today, a newborn mini shoot. We knew the quality would be amazing as always hence our return to her for a third time!! The studio was clean and cosy for our baby boy, Karen was calm and so friendly it was very much like seeing an old friend, yet so so professional and ensured we were comfortable throughout. We managed to get every single shot needed and my little man remained super happy and chilled the whole time. Happy mummy and happy baby. So excited to get our pictures.
~ Amelia Jennifer
The best money I've ever spent!! The photos are more perfect than I ever could have wished for. Karen was professional yet so friendly and made us feel totally comfortable. I really can't thank her enough.
~Aimee Lynden
Wow what a fantastic experience! Although Erin is our 3rd daughter we haven’t had newborn photos done before and I was nervous. I needn’t have been! Karen was so calm and relaxed and really put us at ease. We will treasure our beautiful photos, thank you so much.
~Mhairi Cooper
An amazing photographer who was simply born to be behind the lens. She has a real eye for detail. A true perfectionist. Karen is friendly and professional and in her capable hands you will have truly superb photos of your newborn to treasure forever.
~ Claire Trott
Absolutely stunning photos, I can't stop looking at them!! Cannot recommend Karen highly enough. She was so friendly and welcoming and patient. Nothing was rushed, all at our little man's pace and she was so gentle and calming with him... a truly and memorable experience, with some perfect pictures we will be able to look back on when our baby boy is all grown up.
~ Emma Lee
Thank you Karen for our wonderful photos. Being a first time mum I was a little nervous but you made the whole process very enjoyable and put me at ease immediately. We really appreciate your patience during the photo shoot. Thank you.
~ Erin
We had the most amazing time at Karen’s. She is so friendly and down to earth. We were made to feel so welcome and she was incredible with Freddie. Having the time to relax and feed Freddie when he needed it made all the difference. We didn’t feel rushed at all and Karen made sure we were happy with all the settings she put Freddie in. An all round wonderful experience that we would recommend to anyone wanting photos of their newborn/very young baby. Thank you Karen.
~ Julie Dunne-Clarke
Karen has the patience of a saint. She knows how to put newborns at ease and has captured our beautiful little girl perfectly at 6 weeks old. Be warned, choosing just a few photos is impossible. We had to buy them all!
~ Emma Bennett
I could not rate Karen highly enough. She was fantastic, the photos are beautiful, and she was so gentle with Roxy. We were made to feel completely at home and had a wonderful day.
~ Emily Sayers
We loved every second of our new born photography session. Being first time parents we were a little nervous, but Karen was so welcoming and friendly and put us at great ease, she handled our baby with extreme care and captured the best images for us. Professional, experienced & truly talented.
Highly recommend.
~ Charlotte Louise
We had a really great experience, felt so welcome and Karen is very friendly. Before the photo shoot I was anxious about whether our little boy would settle well or not but Karen knew exactly what to do to keep him calm, we all felt so relaxed and comfortable. We now have beautiful photos that will be treasured for a lifetime, can’t recommend enough.
~ Katie Louise Lant
Absolutely amazing, couldn't have asked for a better shoot for my girl. Stunning photos and was such a lovely atmosphere couldn't be more pleased, thank you so much.

Karen is a lovely lady with a great eye for achieving amazing shots.

So professional yet made us feel right at home. Was amazing and gentle with our daughter getting her into positions and kept her calm. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have photos done with their newborn. Was a lovely experience.
~ Nicole Laurence
We had the most amazing morning with Karen. She is confident, calm and professional. We are utterly delighted with the photos of our sweet baby girl and can't wait to share the photos with our friends and family. Thank you so much Karen - the photos are simply perfect!
~ Rosie Stephens
Absolutely chuffed with our photos. She made me and my partner feel so at home and relaxed during the shoot.
~ Melissa Squibb
I had my daughters photos done at just over 3 weeks old so she already had a mind of her own when it came to poses and sleeping shots. Karen had so much patience with her and even managed to get her to sleep to do the sleeping shots when I had failed. Lovely calm atmosphere so many wraps head bands and accessories to choose from would cater for any look you were going for. Fantastic value for money. I could not recommend enough. Can't wait to have another shoot done when she is a little older. Thank you.
~ Shireen Marie Trim
Wow! An amazing photographer with the patience of a saint! You arrive and instantly feel welcome and made to feel like you're at home! Karen is fantastic with babies and nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you.
~ Rachel Condick
We have just received our images from Karen and the photos are beautiful. We are very pleased with them. I cannot recommend Karen enough, she was very welcoming, calm and very patient with our little boy. A very enjoyable experience.
~ Stephanie Udall
Had our newborn shoot today with Karen, brilliant experience and such a lovely lady. So kind and very gentle with our 9 day old little girl.
~ Hannah Walls
Amazing photographer, so brilliant with children! My daughter won't normally go to anyone she doesn't know but within moments she had an instant connection with Karen enabling her to be happy and confident and full of smiles in the photo shoot. A relaxed and friendly environment, would highly recommend to anyone.
~ Mollie James
Had a photo shoot of our 10 day old boy this morning, really pleased with how it went, it was so relaxed and calm throughout the whole shoot, would highly recommend to anyone. Karen instantly made us feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. She is an amazing photographer and puts so much effort into each photo she takes. She is fantastic with babies, has a lot of patience and managed to settle my baby boy with soothing sounds and a gentle touch. Thank you so much looking forward to seeing the photos!
