Would love to get some -as-natural-as-possible with an unpredictable 11month old - photos of our bubba and possibly a family shot or two but would ideally like to have somebody that people can rate, had good experience with,someone who was relaxed and good with baby etc


Can anyone recommend any good photographers in the area?

Cheers x

I'd like to recommend Peter Northall who is also a local photographer A news photojournalist of enormous experience, Peter combines candid photography with an amazing eye for detail. His photojournalism approach to photography enables him to tell your story perfectly. Peter specialises in 'environmental portraiture'; photography which takes place in the client's home, usual or favourite surroundings. He also has a 5 month old baby son and daughter in primary school so is very experienced in being around children, and is great with them!

I would recommend Lol Johnson. She's a local mum of two and also a great photographer. We were lucky enough to get a slot on one of her free shoot days. There's no obligation to buy anything (but of course we did, the photos were great!)


She's just announced another free shoot day on 3rd of June. If you're quick you might get a slot. Details are on her facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/loljohnsonphotography.


If you do decide to book a slot with her, PM me and I'll give you my details (so I might get another print from my shoot from recommending you - yay!)

My wife has just alerted me to this thread and I must say I'm really touched by some of the comments here. Thank you so much. I'm really grateful and I think I can work out who some of you are!


I have three sons of my own so I've learnt the art of patience with kids although they'll always surprise you! I care very much about my work and nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing the look on parents faces when they see the results of my efforts.


My Family Portrait Packages are straight forward (High res CD, Prints, Private Web Gallery) and competitively priced. If anyone would like to know more please contact me via my website Lorenzo Photography and if you fancy it 'Like' my Facebook page or visit my Blog so you can keep in touch and see my latest work.


Thank you all again.

Another vote for Lorenzo - as Pickle mentioned, he is one of the few photographers to give you a CD of hi-res images at no extra expense. This usually costs a FORTUNE from other local photographers that I have contacted! We loved the first photos so much that he now photographs our family yearly which is a lovely memento.

Elle Fallon is a wonderful Baby photographer who came to our house to take portraits. We were so pleased with the results and have been gushing about her to all our friends.

I would highly recommend Phil Ripley at www.ripleyphotography.co.uk (020 8355 3053). Phil came to our house and took some beautiful shots of our 6 month old girl. He was extremely patient and flexible and keen to work with exactly what we wanted. He came up with a fab range of shots for us to choose from in colour and black & white.

Another vote for Rosie Bray who took some of our two and a few with us all together that we were just so thrilled with. Very natural. Lovely. She actually has a new website, as well as her blog, which has more examples of her work on it, here:

Dan Luker (the cheery bearded chap with the glasses behind the bar at the EDT) is a wonderful portrait photographer - some of you may have seen his work displayed at the EDT kids' club Babble & Squeek on a Friday morning. He gets amazing, natural, personalised shots and is so unbelievably good with children - he takes time to play with them and gain their trust before he starts shooting and it really shows - take a look here: http://danlukerphoto.wordpress.com and also here at his FB page: http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Dan-Luker-Photography/175513499163628?sk=photos#!/pages/Dan-Luker-Photography/175513499163628?sk=photos. I've also PM'd this over to you.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the families I've met and photographed with babies, toddlers and children this year. It's been lovely to meet and work with you all and I hope you've found the sessions as much fun as I have :)


My apologies to those that have been in touch recently only to discover that I'm fully booked until the end of January 2015. I do try to fit in as many families as possible but demand has been extremely high this year.


However, it's not too late if you'd like to buy your loved ones a Gift Voucher for Christmas http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk/gift-voucher/


Thank you again and wishing you all a fab Christmas and New Year!

Thank you all again for your wonderful support this year. Great to meet so many of you for the first time and some for the second and third time as your families grow!


Sadly I'm now fully booked until next year but it's not too late if you're thinking of sending someone you love a Gift Voucher for a Family Photo Session.


Details here http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk/gift-voucher/


Wish you all an amazing Christmas and New Year.

    • 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).
