Hi. We used Simon Orchard, he was great. Very relaxed two hour session at our home. Photos were lovely, very creative. There were lots the baby and family shots too. Simon gives you a CD with the images and then you can print them. He can arrange printing too but there is no obligation to do this. [email protected] and his website is simonorchard.com.
Hi there, please do have a look at my website http://www.shutterbaby.co.uk - I have lots of recommendations on the forum. I come to your home (or favourite outdoor location) and have a relaxed and informal approach to photo taking. I also give a discount to Live Love Local card holders. Thanks.

There's a scheme called the cherubs scheme.


http://www.cherubs.uk.com/index.php


From their website:


"Your baby is photographed on 3 separate occasions by your local Cherubs professional photographer during his/her first 18 months and after the final photo session you will receive a beautiful presentation triple folio. It contains three 5-inch images recording the development of your child: first when they are a few months old, once they can sit up, and then when they can stand. A wonderful keepsake!


You will also have the opportunity to purchase extra photographs from each sitting, under no obligation. This exclusive offer is made available to you by the Master Photographers Association. Thousands of happy Mums have had Cherubs portraits taken of their babies since the promotion was introduced."


The photographer we got is Asher from rockimaging, he's brilliant. He goes to your home with his equipments for he shoot. We bought more photos after each shoot as they are really good and are not too expensive. (Nothing like Venture pricing!) http://www.rockimaging.com/

We have also just had a photo shoot with Shutterbaby.


I can honestly say we are absolutely thrilled at the results. Sara-Jane made us feel completely at ease, was great with our little one and the photos have come out brilliantly.


I can't recommend her highly enough.

Thanks for the recommendation above. Unfortunately due to the Christmas demand I don't have any more free slots remaining this year. However,it is possible to buy a gift voucher for a Family Photo shoot as a Christmas present and don't forget there is a discount for you if you have a LiveLoveLocal card. http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk/make-someone-happy-with-a-photo-gift-voucher/


Thank you

Thank you for all the suggestions when I originally posted this query - we went with Simon Orchard and he was really amazing - I would totally recommend him if anyone else is looking for a photographer. The shoot itself was almost 2 hours long and Simon was great with our 10 month old. We got a disc with the images on it that we can print from ourselves and can also get Simon to professionally print some images if we want to. His website is www.simonorchard.com

I can recommend to you my photographer who did a few sessions of my baby.Her name is Milla and she works mainly in London, but she also travels. She specializes in photographing babies, bellies, children and families. You can watch her amazing pictures on her website http://www.studio-milla.com/ Milla is really friendly and loves working with children. The pictures are really amazing, presenting not only the child, but also conveying all the emotions and feelings. They are also very natural, which is a great advantage of Milla if you compare her with other baby photographers who take these posed artificial children pictures. Just check her samples for yourself and see if you like her style. I'm sure you will:)

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
