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.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
