Had a paint smash photo shoot with Sophie-Kate and she was very patient with my little boy who just wanted to blow bubbles, she did things in his time and made us both feel really comfortable. I love all the pictures and can’t wait to book in again when my little one is a bit older. Thanks More...

My brother and I, was bought a family photo shoot for Christmas off our Mum. We recently met Sophie at Queens Park, along with our other halves. I thought it might be awkward and forced, but it really wasn't. Sophie put us at ease. I am really pleased with the finished photographs More...

Sophie was employed by me for a family photo shoot for my wife's 50th birthday. Her rates represent excellent value and she is a very personable young lady who works hard for her money. She produced a portfolio on line which has the advantage that you can edit the photos to your own preference (in our case a little zooming and cropping). I would recommend sophie to anyone who wishes very good value for money with a reliable service. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I think the secret is finding those non posed, happy, completely in the moment parts of a family! I think anything bright and colourful looks great in photos too!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I always like to know what type of photos you tend to hit the love heart for on FB or Instagram because it shows me what type of things you love and the most important thing I ask is what your wanting to use the photos for so I can make sure I capture the right moments for you!
What do you love most about your job?
I love spending time with families and getting to know them. I love when I know I've got the shot that you will love! It's a great feeling
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love photography and I did it as a hobby for a long time. It was my family and friends really that pushed me to turn it into a business.
Why should our clients choose you?
I love what I do and I'll do everything I can to make sure you and your family have a lovely time which I think shows in my images. I also used to work with young people so I have a valid DBS check and I'm really good at getting even the grumpiest little one to smile! I'm really flexible and want to make sure my offer fits around you (I'm so flexible I've been known to help out with guests at weddings or moving tables at parties or provide a cheeky snack for a grumpy toddler!) anything for a good shot!
