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.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
