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 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:)

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
