Could not be happier with the photos that Helen took of our dogs! She was fantastic and we had the most enjoyable morning getting the shots done. She was very flexible with bookings and we cannot thank her enough. Would highly recommend. More...

Helen has taken some photos for us professionally and they were fantastic, the other day I had a 1 to 1 lesson with Helen and it was brilliant. Helen is very informative and warm and friendly and also has a lot of patience! I have to take photos regularly to promote our products and have only ever really used the P button so I am now starting to work in manual. I still have a lot to learn but my photos are already so much better. I will be booking on another course soon and will also be booking Helen for another professional shoot asap too. More...

Helen organised a Kestrel/Kingfisher hide workshop. Great day with like minded people. Well organised and run. I make a living from my photography and was Made to feel welcome despite not needing the 'Workshop' aspect. Highly recommend Helen and her days. More...

We are really thrilled with our family portraits by Helen. She was so calm and patient with the children, they felt really comfortable and she has captured their personalities beautifully in the photos. It was a lovely experience and we cannot recommend her highly enough. A really skilled photographer, we will definitely be using her again. More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
A good eye and listening to the brief. Great kit is of course helpful, but knowing how to use it is essential. Patience and knowing about how light and location make the difference between a good photograph and a great photograph.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Can we put our heads together and work out the best possible way to get the shots you're after?
Do you have an idea of what you are after or would you like me to make some suggestions?
How much would you like to spend as level of service including time etc can be suited to you?
I have a trusted co-photographer, would you like a second photographer to capture more moments?
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people and knowing I can help make their day special. Meeting new people and travelling around to different places, it means I never get bored of my job.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having photographed not so nice subjects for nearly 17 years in my forensic role, the time has come for me to concentrate on what I love doing in my spare time for myself and friends and family.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am honest and reliable, have a great eye for detail and composition. I am extremely friendly, easy to talk to, approachable and open to ideas.
