Charlie you are a wonderful person and an absolutely incredible photographer! You had a lot of challenges with the rain on our day but you embraced it! We had the best time with you! You looked after us so well! We loved the golf buggy experience. We can honestly say we wouldn't have wanted anyone else with us on our day! You're like a breath of fresh air and like no other photographer we have ever experienced. The guests couldn't believe how hard you worked and said you were everywhere but yet not in their face which was lovely to hear for us and I know is your ethos! My mum hates photos but loved you and said it was nice to have you around in the morning. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending you! You've produced the most amazing natural photographs of our whole day. We're having a tough time picking our favourites for our album! Thank you again, lots of Love from the new Mr and Mrs German x x More...

We cannot recommend Charlie enough. We had the pleasure of her attending our wedding to do the photography and were beyond delighted with the photographs. All of our guests were very complimentary too. We were so impressed with the quality of her work and with her manner and friendly nature that we recently had a newborn photo shoot with her with our 4 week old baby boy. We've just seen the photographs and are over the moon! Thank you so much Charlie for photographing two of the happiest times of our lives so perfectly. Bex and David xx More...

There's been lots of new bubbas born this last month! If you're looking for a newborn shoot, I cannot recommend Charlie enough - she was friendly, welcoming and a delight to watch work with our beautiful girl. I'm buzzing to see the edits!

It is refreshing to work with a photographer who is so creative and up to date with ideas. This meant that despite having no clue what I wanted, she had so many creative ideas up her sleeves. This made the photography session a wonderful experience. More...

Charlie did my new born baby shoot and all I can say is #amazing ~ Charlie made us welcome in her home and was so good with our son. We adore the pictures and have them all over our house, all we did was turn up and she made the rest happen. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If I was going to do my Wedding Day all over again I would book her for that too. Don’t delay people book her before she gets too busy 5⭐️‘s and 5✅’s!!! More...

We absolutely love Charlie and her talents in photography so much so that not only did she capture our wedding day memories she also photographed our beautiful little girl who was only 2 weeks old. Charlie is brilliant at making you feel relaxed and she’s very friendly and welcoming. All the pictures from our wedding and our baby session are truly amazing and make me relive the days completely with her captured memories. I would truly wholeheartedly recommend Farlie Photography for all of your special moments x More...

We received our photo disc today from our recent mini session at Jungle Adventure and I am blow away!! Every imagine is fantastic and so natural.
Charlie is amazing!! she had my son laughing and giggling from the get go, and got some great shots of my 7 month old who refused to stay still :) she even managed to get both my son and daughter looking at the camera at the same time (which trust me is no easy task).
All in 20 minutes!!!
I would highly recommend Farlie Photography, we will treasure these photos for years to come and can't wait to see you again soon.
Thanks Charlie xxx

We absolutely adore our pictures from Charlie. She has managed to capture some wonderful images of us as a young family, my son's birthday, my pregnancy and of course little Margot at 10 days new.
Charlie has always made us feel comfortable and at ease. It's such a personal service and we have always felt that she goes the 'extra mile'.
Her expertise and genuine love of babies and everything 'family', shone through when taking our daughter's newborn pictures. Images we shall treasure forever.
We cannot recommend Farlie Photography enough. Thank you!

I had photos taken of my daughter Lyra when she was a week old. I cannot praise Charlie highly enough for every single aspect of our experience, from booking, to the session, to the photos and aftercare we received.

Booking was simple and straightforward, with Charlie answering all our questions quickly.

On the day itself, we (being new, seriously sleep-deprived parents!) arrived at Charlie's a little late but were greeted so warmly and made to feel completely comfortable and relaxed (even when Lyra pooed and peed her way through several blankets!). Being a parent herself, Charlie knows all the things that are tough in those early days and solved it all with a comfortable place to feed, plus tea and biscuits!

The photos themselves are simply gorgeous. I know we're biased but she captured our little girl so beautifully. Plus Charlie humoured my request for a particular shot I wanted :) the prints and canvas we ordered are of the highest quality and the disc and USB stick have been very useful for printing additional shots for family and friends.

Sorry for the long review, but I wanted to do Charlie and the experience justice. In summary, perfect!

We LOVE our photos and we had the best time at both our shoots! Had the bump-to-baby package and so incredibly pleased with the result! Charlie is amazing at what she does, such a personal touch and she made us all feel so comfortable and at ease on both occasions.

And to not even mention the photos!! It's more than just amazing, every time I look at the photos of our beautiful little family and our gorgeous little girl and baby boy I'm so grateful that we could capture moments like these, moments of joy and laughter, intimacy and closeness, love and peace and family fun and newborn purity!

Thank you Charlie for making us feel comfortable and so at home in front of the camera, thank you for capturing memories than I'll treasure forever and now do not have to forget as they are forever captured in your/our beautiful photos ... I'm so grateful that you've done it with such ease but such perfection�

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Charlie and her photography are just amazing! She captures moments and visions and creates memories in an instant. Charlie was our wedding photographer and her kind nature made us, and our guests, feel so relaxed on the day. Charlie is not a photographer that you need to prep with a long list of what shots you want, for she sees them before you do! It's magical looking back after your wedding and just thinking WOW she captured it all... and more! From the pre wedding shoot to the delivery of our photos, her service is seamless! I cannot recommend Charlie enough! Thank you, Liz and Rob. More...

We had a newborn shoot with Farlie Photography when our little girl was 9 days old. Charlie created such a lovely relaxed atmosphere and did not rush us meaning that baby was settled and happy resulting in the most beautiful pictures. The only problem we have is choosing which photos to display as we don't have room to display them all!! Thank you for helping us creating such special memories to treasure forever xx More...

Absolutely amazing service from start to finish for our wedding. Charlie makes you feel comfortable and relaxed (and I am certainly not relaxed when it comes to having my picture taken). Charlie is there for you every step of the way and always happy to answer any questions you might have not matter how silly you think they are. On our wedding day Charlie was brilliant at directing small groups of people who needed to be in the pics to all the mass guests for those amazing full pictures. She was in the back ground capturing those precious memories that no one ever seems to think about but wish they had got them. Everyone of our guests loved her, the energy she gives off and the amazing pictures she’s able to capture. Great job and certainly recommending you to everyone � More...

It was an absolute joy to have Charlie photographing our wedding day! She was exceptionally organised in the lead up to the day, and always quick to respond to emails. Charlie knew exactly what questions to ask us and how to reassure us when we were feeling out of our depth with wedding planning. On the day itself it was so lovely to have Charlie with us. She struck the perfect balance of being unobtrusive and letting us forget she was there taking photos, but also quietly steering things to make sure she got all the shots we wanted. And the photos!! We are totally delighted with them. She captured the day so naturally, with such a beautiful light and warmth in every single photo. Her passion and enthusiasm for her work truly shines through in every picture. We've had so many compliments about our wedding photos and I could not recommend Charlie more highly. Thank you Charlie!

Charlie did a newborn photo session for our daughter and we cannot recommended her highly enough. Not only are we delighted with the photos but the whole experience was perfect. Charlie made us feel so welcome (with tea and cakes!). She was very laid back and created the perfect setting to maximise the sleeping time (and hence photo opportunities) for our newborn. She soothed our baby perfectly - it was plainly obvious that she had personal experience of handling young babies. We can’t wait to return to her studio for her to capture more photos of our daughter as she grows up. More...

It was much more relaxing than a studio environment and the photos are more natural.

Can not thank Charlie enough for capturing such beautiful photos of our newborn, the whole experience from the first enquiry to the actual day of the shoot has been amazing. Charlie made us feel so welcome at her home and it literally felt like we was visiting a friends house, she even managed to fit in us bringing back our elder 2 children so they could have some photos with their new baby brother and again Charlie was so patient with them and made them feel involved. We are so excited to get the photos printed, I don't think we have enough walls in the house for how many amazing pictures we have received! More...

Where can we start with explaining how amazing Charlie is?! From the very first time we met her, we knew that she was the photographer that we wanted to capture our wedding day. She reassured us about the running of the day, suggested different places that we could have pictures taken and generally put us at total ease. Our engagement shoot at Clacton Pier was relaxed and fun, mainly down to the fact that Charlie is so lovely that it felt like it was our friend taking pictures of us.

On the wedding day, Charlie blended into the running of the day and the photos that she took are absolutely stunning. We could not have asked for better pictures to be taken. We can't stop looking through them and have no idea how we are going to choose which ones to frame as there are so many gorgeous ones! We received so so many compliments from our family and friends about how lovely Charlie is and how she had a smile on her face all day as she was taking pictures.

Thank you Charlie for capturing every moment of our perfect day, the pictures you have taken we will treasure forever.

Love Mr and Mrs Smith xx

We came to Charlie with both our sons as she was so fantastic the first time, I knew we couldn't get better anywhere else.
She makes you feel a part of the family in her home so you and the baby are relaxed and comfortable for the shoot. It's a lovely trip out when you've just had a baby and the pictures are beautiful. Something to treasure forever

I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone looking for newborn photographs, and do regularly pass her details on even though she's not local to me, as I believe her photographs are worth travelling for. Her style is clean, fresh and unique, her coffee is excellent and she has worked hard to become a master of her craft. As a photographer myself I'm particularly picky about photographs but I think her work is excellent and I feel quite certain that if I have another baby, I'll be taking them to Layer quick sharp for a session. Don't think twice, they're only tiny once! More...

Q&As

Just one? There's so much that has to comes together for great photo. First and foremost it's knowing your clients and having them comfortable in your presence, building a rapport is key for me to capture who YOU really are. Then it's good equipment and technical expertise using it. Intuition and experience built from my time doing wedding work helps me to anticipate the moment and create a great capture. Finally it'a all about creativity, finding new ways to capture my clients unique characters.

What DON'T I ask?! I just want to know everything and anything about who they are and what their plans are! I love getting to know people and I could talk for days about their lives and their plans for their big day.

What's not to love?! I get to meet amazing people, experience the most wonderful days of their lives, be creative, geek out with camera gear... I love it ALL! This job is my dream come true.

For want of a less used and less cheesy phrase... I love being the master of my own destiny. And I love that I have created something that's just 100% a representation of and what I love.

I believe my biggest strength in business is my personality and making myself a relaxed, fun and friendly addition to your day, who is also taking your picture (lots). I respect that I get a front row seat to the most beautiful and important day of your life and I honour that privilege by caring enormously about the people I get to do it for. I'll zip up your bridesmaids, fix your buttonhole, dry your bouquet, laugh at your lairy bestman and help your nan down the stairs. Because for just one day I get to jump in to your beautiful inner circle of nearest and dearest and that's an invite I cherish.
