Claire captured our wedding in October and we could not have placed our trust with a more reliable person. We appreciated how generous she was with her service and how she showed genuine care in making our day the best it could possibly be. She supported us right from the planning stages to ensure we felt confident with the smooth running of the day. While at the wedding, Claire worked tirelessly with her colleague to capture every moment of the day - telling the story of our celebration in such a personal manner. Her experience with the local venue shone through and she used it effectively as the most perfect backdrop. Claire's calm professionalism on the day meant that everyone felt comfortable and confident with being photographed - quite literally the most fun I've ever had in front of a camera. We will certainly be asking Claire to capture other important life events in the future xx More...

I had an amazing experience with Claire when she did my new born photo shoot. she made what could potentially be a stressful situation very relaxing and comfortable for us. She was so patient and worked so well with the baby taking things at his pace. And the resulting photos are just amazing. I would highly recommend Claire More...

Top marks goes out to Claire for her professional service, my wife and I took our 5 day old daughter Lana to her studio and was very impressed. From the moment we arrived to receiving the finished photo's we had such a great experience and will definitely be using her expertise again in the near future! Most impressed with her handling with Lana throughout and her control over Luca for the family and big Brother shoots! Her ideas, props and backdrops are Flawless and as a coffee drinker, Claire's coffee and cookie's topped it all off for me! More...

I booked Claire for the newborn shoot for my son who was 8 days old. As soon as we arrived and met Claire I knew I’d chosen the right person for the job, she’s an amazing photographer and has such a caring & kind approach. The time went so fast and she dealt with Arthur amazingly,even when he had an accident in his Daddy’s hands on the last photo.When we received the slideshow of photos we were overjoyed with them so much so that I cried watching it. I would highly recommend Claire to anyone who is thinking of having the newborn shoot done, you will not be disappointed x More...

My husband and I had the pleasure of booking a newborn session with Claire this past week. She was very responsive to my email through her website and we were able to book our session a few days after our initial contact. Once our appointment was finalized, she sent a very detailed email to help us first timers prepare for the photo shoot. Her attention to details, knowledge and experience working with children/babies made the entire experience wonderful and smooth. We love the pictures! More...

We're so glad we found Claire Butler! Her studio is close to where we live so it worked out great for us. She is very professional and great with our newborn. Once our baby was ready to go, Claire turned on her magic and got our little girl laughing and smiling for the photos! We were happy with the pictures and enjoyed the session. It was so hard to pick a handful because there were so many amazing shots! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!! More...

Claire has photographed me and my child/children on three occasions, there is something so very special about her and what she does. She has given me beautiful pictures some of the of the most important moments in my life that I will treasure forever and that I could never put a value on.Claire took pictures of my first born at two weeks, she was so utterly relaxed and fun and brilliant with Hugo, despite him not being the easiest customer, and me and my husband being terribly awkward in front of the camera, especially as brand new parents not quite knowing what to do. Claire just understood this and made us totally at ease and got beautiful pictures of Hugo so young, that time passes so quickly, but the pictures bring back the memories instantly. Due to an illness in the family, my husband and I married at really short notice, six months after the birth of our son. I needed a photographer for what I knew would be a very important and emotional day, it couldn’t be just anyone and Claire agreed to be my photographer and she was AMAZING. I felt like a lifelong friend was taking the pictures, just having a laugh and enjoying the day with me, but Claire got the most amazing shots of us and all our family a friends - such precious images that stay with me even though some of the people in them are sadly gone. Then at short notice on the birth of my second son, Claire came through again and took stunning portraits of Sebastian at four week and some family pictures, again incredible images. I have six pictures, framed and proudly displayed in my home that Claire has taken. I look at these and all the other pictures she has taken of my family often, with great love and pleasure and I feel very lucky to have these memories so artfully recorded, to treasure for ever. I can not recommend her highly enough and am forever grateful for what the beautiful memories she has given me. More...

What a beautiful day we had when my 19 day old son Noah went for his photo session. Claire made me and Noah, as well as my 2 friends, feel like family as she welcomed us so warmly in to her lovely studio (and home). I could not fault our experience at all! Choosing my favourite photos was so difficult as they were all stunning but seeing them in a slideshow on a tv certainly helped! Would recommend Claire to anyone hoping to capture these precious moments ❤ More...

Claire has undertaken a few shoots for me: my maternity shoot, my son’s cake smash for his 1st birthday and a newborn shoot for my daughter. Claire is professional, welcoming and friendly. During my maternity shoot she put me at ease straight away and made the session fun and enjoyable.Claire is amazing with kids and worked well with both my children making the experience interesting and interactive. She is patient and calm (especially with newborns who don’t want to sleep!) and her home studio provides a relaxing environment which enhances the shoot experience. Claire talks through the shoot at each stage and welcomes suggestions or ideas which is refreshing. The end result photos are first class and beautiful. Certainly she made me look great for my maternity shoot when I felt like a whale! I can’t recommend Claire enough - I am already scheduling further shoots with her for more cake smashes! She is absolutely fabulous to work with. More...

Having won a newborn photo shoot on Facebook I didn’t know what to expect when we arrived at Claire’s with our 6 day old son. Claire put us totally at ease from the start and explained everything. She handled our son excellently and he was also very happy to be wrapped by her. So much so he stayed asleep the whole time. The photos are exactly what I would have chosen myself and such a beautiful momento of our last baby. More...

We were lucky enough to have a new born photo shoot with Claire of our 18 day old baby girl Jasmine. Jasmine had always been such a crying baby that I dreaded the day as I thought she would cry the whole way through. However once Claire had swaddled her in the material, and rocked and shushed her, my little angel stayed asleep for near enough the entire shoot! She is the “baby whisperer” for sure. I was amazed. Claire has so many colours you can choose from material wise and different set ups too. There were so many lovely photos at the end of the shoot. The editing just made the photos perfect.My only regret is that we didn’t have the same thing done for my first born.Now we have the tough decision of choosing which photo to put up on the wall at home as they are all so beautiful.Could not recommend Claire any more.

We took our new born for a photography shoot to Clair's studio. Even before the shoot Claire put in loads of preperation creating sewn bees to complete a picture we wanted. During the shoot she made us all feel very comfortable and involved. She was brilliant with Marty, getting him settled into the all the positions needed and showing great patience as you need with a new born. She had a great array of colours to choose from and lots of inventive ideas. The final results were brilliant and great value for money. We would definitely recommend Claire and may have to take a trip to her new studio for another shoot soon More...

Q&As

Connect with the person on the other side of the lens is the secret.

I always ask them where in their home is this photography piece going to hang. I get them to tell me about the colours etc. I want the photos to work in the house harmoniously.

Throughout my career I have gone from being a designer to a teacher. I love being creative and working with young people. But what I love the most is the expressions on my clients faces when they view their photos for the first time.

When I was pregnant with my daughter in 2014 I want to capture every fleeting moment of her. So I would say she inspired me.

Clients usually find my work on Facebook or Instagram. They have been recommended by their friends and family. They choose me as I have make alot of my own props and I take alot of care in what I do.
