We asked Bev to come and do a cake smash for our daughters first birthday. She was absolutely brilliant and we really enjoyed it. She included our 4 year old from the outset and really thought about how to include her also. We absolutely love the photos. Thank you so much Bev More...

I took my then 4 year old little girl to Bev's photo masterclass at the little owl farm last summer. my daughter has always loved taking pictures but just snapped away without even holding the camera stilll. Bev was very engaging with the children and my daughter took some fabulous pictures and loves photography even more. We will definatly be going again this year with my youngest who is nearly 4. I would highly recommend this for anyone who loves taking photos. Bev is brilliant with the children and definitely the best photographer ive met. A great morning out. More...

Yesterday we had a pre-wedding kids photo shoot, part of the wedding package Bev offers....it was absolutely fantastic. Bev was so good with the kids (5 of them ranging from 2-6 years old) and so patient. She has sent us a little sneak peak of the pictures today and they are gorgeous and perfect. Thanks so much Bev, roll on Saturday for the Wedding!!! More...

Bev captured our sons 1st birthday party so beautifully. Bev listened to what we wanted from the offset and that was to capture fun, magic and our son enjoying himself so he can look back feeling the way we did when he is older. The pre catch up before the party was great, Bev took her time to get to know us which I think is really important. On the day Bev, kept a crazy mummy sane and ensured myself and my hubby got some unique and special photos with our son. Alot of our friends and family thought Bev was on of our friends! Cant wait to plan the next photoshoot. Thanks again, Alisa More...

Bev’s warm personality and patience is what makes her such a pleasure to work with. No tantrum is too big no person is too small. She captures lovely natural moments by making you feel totally at ease. I have had 2 sessions with inspired by Joseph now and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. I would certainly recommend her.

I mulled over having bump/baby photos for ages, hating having my photo taken and not wanting to be forced to pose in awkward stances in a studio. Then I came across Inspired By Joseph and found what I was looking for; someone who would take natural photos, and come to us. I am so glad I came across Bev as she really lived up to her word; both the maternity and baby shoots were so laid back and fun. Bev really made us feel at ease and worked around us; what we liked/disliked and with me being pregnant and then having a new born, how I was feeling on the day. Now we have lots (another huge plus point) of relaxed, happy photos documenting an amazing time of our lives. Would highly recommend inspired by Joseph for any families looking for some laid back photo shoots! More...

We had the most amazing experience with Bev for our sons 1st birthday cake smash shoot. It was so relaxed, friendly and everything we imagined. We all just ‘went with the flow’ with no time limits, in our parents back garden, a perfect scenario for a 1 year old boy. The end result is amazing, with all the photos to hand we have been able to sort thank you cards, birthday and Xmas presents way in advance :-). The most memorable day! Thank you so much! More...

Bev came to do a photoshoot in our home for our 11 day old baby! She was very calm and patient with us and our baby and the time flew by. We absolutely love the pictures and will treasure those memories forever.
Also extremely good value for what you pay, no extortionate prices and no hidden costs at the end!
We could tell Bev totally loves doing photography which made it all the better.
Thank you Bev! �

Bev is a lovely down to earth friendly person. This for me is a definite, as we had outdoor shots in a place we visit often, it was like being there with someone we already knew, which is fantastic for capturing the relaxed happy shots we wanted, and got. I'm impressed with the speed in which the images were sent to us, lovely packaging with a dear note attached, very thoughtful & a nice ending to a fun experience. More...

Bev has captured every little detail of our special day and of all our lovely family/friends. I can't thank Bev enough for the work she has done and for how lovely she was on the day.

I have just been to a FREE short photography course run by Bev which was about capturing those perfect shots of your little ones. Bev is so engaging and accommodating of everyone...there were lots of little ones there and she had brought some toys with her so they could play while the parents listened to her top tips! I have come away with lots of great ideas and can't recommend Bev highly enough! Whether you go on one of Bevs photography courses or book a one to one session you can be assured you will get some amazing photos as Bev puts everyone at ease..and of course her photos are beautiful ! Thanks Bev! More...

We recently had an outdoor family photoshoot with Bev and want to share how fantastic it was. She is extremely friendly and really good with children. I was a little apprehensive before hand as I have a 5-year-old son and 2-year-old twins. I was expecting the session to be a little stressful but it wasn’t at all! Bev was fab with all my children, she told Joshua that he was in charge and immediately he was on his best behaviour. Bev kept my youngest two entertained with toys from her bag or letting them take turns with her camera. We now have some beautiful family photos that I love, but more importantly we had some fantastic memories from the session that we will cherish forever. In the past, me and my husband have stayed away from professional photographers, after a few bad experiences. We had fallen in love with photos after being offered ‘free photoshoots’, but then the photos costing an extortionate price that we just couldn’t afford! I had to double check with Bev that she had heard the price correctly when she was telling me hers, she really is the helpful affordable photographer! We will definitely be back in the future to update our family photos again. More...

We used Bev at Inspired by Joseph to capture our big day...in Italy! When we were given the package for the wedding there was a photographer included, but it came with an extra cost, so we did our research. .. It was expensive. We approached Bev for some advice about photography as we hadn't really used a professional photographer before. She was great with the advice and what we were to look for... So much so, we took her with us to our wedding. Bev did so much for us in the run up to the wedding in order to capture all the photos we wanted. We wouldn't have got half of the photos we have now using the 'recommended photographer'. As we got married in Italy, Bev also came to some of pre-wedding events for us and captured our guests there too, as well as the evening reception which we had back home in Uppermill. The turnaround of the photos was really quick as was us getting our wedding album. We couldn't be happier with the photos or the service, provided by Bev. Thank you, Bev! More...

I cannot thank Bev enough for the happy memories she has enabled me to treasure forever. Originally I didn’t want to be in any of the photos but Bev instantly put me at ease and I am so glad I changed my mind. I am not a fan of staged photos and Bev was superb at capturing natural special moments with my little one, that you would never be able to do yourself! The photos are truly amazing, I cannot believe how many there are and I cannot choose which ones to put on the wall. More...

I absolutely adore the pictures that Bev has captured of my family. Before our sessions I hated having my photo taken so was rarely in pictures with our children, and had awful memories of being lined up in a photography studio for family photos. Now, I've got lots of pictures that I actually appear in (yay!), and they absolutely capture the personalities of my children and memories of the lovely days out together, where Bev has just happened to be alongside us with a camera. Her enthusiasm definitely shines through in the photos; she's even helped my partner recreate a childhood photo with his brother as a 95th birthday present for their grandma!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, especially those with young children -we will definitely be using her again!!

We had a photo shoot with Bev at Alexandra Park in Oldham in November. This was our first ever experience of a professional shoot and so we were a bit nervous (apart from Tilly the Black Labrador! ) Bev was so warm and friendly that being photographed felt really easy and natural. Bev even managed to get our tricky 2 year old daughter to smile. She captured some gorgeous pictures that reflect our family really well. We were delighted with the results!

Bev ran a free session teaching parents how to take better photos of their children. The session was well thought out and was targeted towards those who have little to no experience of professional photography. Bev was warm and welcoming and the session felt friendly and informal. I learned a lot about how to hold my phone properly and which settings to use to maximise opportunity to get a good photo. I went away eager to try out my new found knowledge!

Bev's true professionalism shone through and the photos are amazing, really capturing us as a couple.

Bev was fantastic in capturing my 2 year old at a playgroup, I gave her a big challenge. I originally asked Bev to take a set photo of my daughter and my newborn son but my daughter had other ideas. She would not go anywhere near the camera and ran away. I was devastated as all I wanted was some nice pics for around the house. Bev saw how upset I was and made it her mission to get some photos of my 2 year old in action and the results are amazing. My daughter did not even realise that Bev was taking photos of her. Bev really persevered and got some absolutely gorgeous photos which I will treasure forever and have displayed around my house. I can not thank Bev enough. I'm already planning another shoot.

Q&As

Connecting with the client and being out of sight and mind for some of the time! You HAVE to like and understand your photographer as you are paying them to be with you. As a Mum and female, I bring a whole host of qualities including patience and fun!

The more I understand about you as people and of your requirements, the better able I am to serve you. I love getting to know you before we meet, it's super important.

Taking photographs that clients love. There is usually someone who hates having their photos taken, a child who doesn't smile. But I love a challenge and have never had a client NOT love my photos!

My son Joseph, so much so I named my business after him. I can tell you all about that when we meet ;)

For all of the things I have already mentioned. I'm not your average photographer, you have to meet or talk over the phone with me to see how I roll!

Services

I create personalised scrabble frames too - the perfect gift in a number of colours!
