I hate having my photo taken but Poppy made the whole process pain free, and dare I say it... fun! Not only was the process amazing from start to finish, but I also couldn't be happier with the end result. Poppy captured the images I wanted plus more and with a super quick turnaround too. I would happily recommend Poppy to friends and family. More...

I can’t recommend Poppy highly enough. Her natural and relaxed approach put me at ease straight away ( I usually hate having my photograph taken) I was very pleased with the photos she produced and she got them back to me the same day! Fantastic professional photos and great service. More...

We are so impressed with Poppy Jakes Photography. Not only is she a really lovely person, very approachable yet professional, she also did a great job! Her turn around time is outstanding. I was so surprised to receive a sample of the photos she had taken only a few hours after the photo shoot but then the next day I was sent the high resolution images of the photos I wanted to keep.I also absolutely loved the photos she took. They really captured the event and the atmosphere and we will now be able to use these photos to show how much fun our workshops are.Poppy also has a great approach to directing people to get the shots she wants and ensuring the lighting and layout are just right to get the best images.Altogether, I would highly recommend using her and already have been recommending her to other businesses!Thank you Poppy.

Poppy took my professional head shots this year, and I was really impressed with her efficiency, warmth and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble and there was no pressure/rush as I took my time to select the shots that I liked. I was really pleased with the results. I’ll be using her services again for my tutoring business. More...

We had our newborn photo shoot with Poppy when our little girl was 2 weeks old and included some photos with her 8 years old sister, as well as some family shots.
She was absolutely fantastic with them both - very relaxed, patient and made us all feel at ease. Poppy did not rush the photo shoot and ensured our baby was happy and content at every stage. Poppy arranged some beautiful poses and talked to us about what we wanted, to ensure we were always happy.
We highly recommend Poppy, we are delighted with our photos. Thank you so much for capturing those precious moments!

We have just had a fantastic shoot with our 3 week old and our 2 year old boy. We have so many gorgeous photos to capture this special time in our lives. Poppy is lovely, very patient and was brilliant with our very fidgety toddler! Definitely recommend her and we will be booking another shoot when the boys are bigger. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret is passion, I have a passion and love for what I do and care about every job.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is it that they are wanting to achieve?
What do you like about my images?
Who are you trying to attract?
What are the things you have to have in your images?
How many images do you require?
What is your soft deadline and what is your hard deadline?
What do you love most about your job?
I love all aspect of photography. Put 100 professional photographers in a room and ask them to take a photograph and you will get 100 different images. How every job is interrupted is different so getting a detailed brief & working with your client as a partnership is essential.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My love for photography. My father was a car photographer and as a child I would spend my weekends helping him out in the studio. I bought a franchise 'Photography for little people' and set up Poppy Jakes Photographer to create memories and help companies with their branding.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I care and have passion and will listen to what you want and work together with you to achieve something special.
