We used Shot by the Sherriff (in the ED warehouse), they were great. Also got some free photos done with Nousha (we were not alone in "winning" the runner up prize though ;-). Really lovely photos but eeek, prohibitively expensive - so much so that we only took our small freebie even though we did really like some of the others.

As far as I know all the photographers named above are good. We have photos by Nousha and I believe they are a bit different because Lionel is an ex royal photographer who has been on the cover of Time magazine etc. so they have 'mega' credentials (in my opinion). I know they print onto incredibly expensive paper and print with inks that cost more than gold (imagine - you wouldn't want to press print 'till you were REALLY sure!). We LOVED our photo session with them, and were blown away by the results. I can't speak for the others as haven't used them, and don't know about their printing processes etc.


But what is good is that there is plenty of choice, and hopefully something to meet every budget.


Personally I'd suggest going and meeting a few/seeing their work and comparing prices. It isn't just about cost, but also about how you feel you get on with them - you need to be relaxed, how flexible they are - say would they do an early morning shoot if that is when baby is at its best - even if 8am etc and can you cancel at short notice if you have a crisis - baby not sleeping, or doing a nosedive in the park like ours did, resulting in an attractive bloody nose (typical!), and also importantly to see if you like the style of their photos..... and I guess you can check out what paper and inks they use whilst you are at it, not that I knew about this until we had our shots done!


Good luck with it.

Hi Everyone,

after almost 3 happy years of trading at the ED Warehouse on Zenoria Street Shot by the Sheriff Photography have moved.


We are still in East Dulwich - just off Lordship Lane.


We are now in a lovely 2 story mews house in - THE OLD STABLE HOUSE behind Jo Partridge hairdressers on Northcross Road.


Just a reminder that this is not a pop in studio - you always need to book an appointment, as we operate a very busy studio and do not wish you to have a wasted trip if we are already on a shoot.


Thanks,

Keith and Nicky Sheriff

MrsC the best time to have your baby pics down is asap. The younger they are the easier they are to photograph but personally the best time is at about 6 months when they've had time for any bruising and swelling to recover from being in bump and when the fat cheeks and giggles are plentiful.


the magic hours Matt Farrow is dulwich based. He does music festivals, weddings and portraits all to an exceptionally high standard. He does the whole reportage "come in your home over a day" thing and studio portraits. He is a top notch professional and has been taking my sons pics since birth and they are always lovely and special.

    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.  
    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
