If you're finding yourself reading reviews because you're thinking about having Joanna as your photographer then do it, book now. Having her photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions that we made. Looking back through our pictures, there isn't a single one we didn't like. All of them are beautiful and captured the day perfectly with lots of laughter and lots of love. Joanna is super professional but so much fun to have around on the day and best of all she does what she says. We has our photos back quickly after the wedding and we can't praise her enough. Thank you so so much xx More...

Joanna did a family photo shoot for us and did a fantastic job! She listened to what I wanted and then took that brief and added her own special touch to make the photos just perfect. I would have no hesitation in recommending Toland Photography - whatever you want, Wedding, Baby shoot, or just a single portrait, Joanna will not disappoint! More...

Highly recommend Joanna! We had a newborn photoshoot and she was so lovely to deal with all the way through the process from the enquiry through to receiving our prints. She was very welcoming on the shoot and knew just how to manage a newborn and a toddler! The final images were beautiful :) More...

After finding Jo on Facebook, we were wowed be her amazing photography style & contacted her ASAP she made everything very easy for us from booking a day/time right down to putting the photos on a usb stick & making our own personal phone app for us. We are so pleased with our daughters christening photos.We can’t recommend Jo enough she arrived at our venue early & stayed late & the TA of receiving the photos was so quick. She listened to our requests & was very professional and friendly, we will definitely be using Jo again in the foreseeable future. More...

The best first outing with my 5 day old baby! I was recommended Joanna and got in touch before my baby was born to get our shoot booked in. She captured him in some lovely photos and even though he kept waking and was a bit unsettled she was very patient and caring with him. She even provided tea and coffee making facilities and I was able to do my hair and make up while she got a few snaps in of him first. She then came to our home to show us the photos and we weren’t disappointed and purchased the whole collection! More...

I went for a maternity photo shoot and i throughly enjoyed it. Was made to feel welcome and was put very much at ease. Had a variety of pictures taken so we had lots to choose from. For me it was just a matter of the experience and was not pressured into spending alot of money. However i did come away with 2 beautiful pictures. Lots of packages to suit your budget range or if you just wanted the odd one like me they were able to sort this for me at a great price. Would defo recommend and if i was to do any other shoots toland photography would be my first choice. Thankyou for a wonderful experience :) Annabelle x More...

Visited for a maternity photo shoot and I had a lovely experience. I was interested in some underwear pics aswell as clothed so that I could really show off my bump and she made me feel so comfortable. The images are fab, she took so many it was hard to choose from and I even went back to her for a newborn photo shoot a week later with my little man. Highly recommend! :) More...

I have seen Jo at Toland Photography working on many occasions and she never fails to put her heart and soul into her work and hence your priceless photographic memories. I agree with her description of her work as putting the LIFE into Lifestyle Photography.At an awards ceremony I attended, Jo was the official photographer and managed to be everywhere capturing each award winner, numerous personalities enjoying themselves, the keynote speaker and even the after party. Her services represent superb value for money.Not only that but the images are available incredibly quickly after the recording sessions.I would not hesitate to use Toland Photography to record anything corporate, events, weddings, maternity and new born (not that I am planning for any of the last three personally!!)

I have just received the most beautiful images of my daughter from her newborn shoot. Joanna came to us for the photo shoot and was brilliant with our baby girl leaving us feeling relaxed and at ease. We also had photos taken with our daughter which we weren’t keen on doing at first but we are very pleased that we did after seeing them. We will treasure these photos forever and highly recommend Toland Photography. More...

Jo was simply ‘FANTASTIC’...... if there were more stars I would add it on!!!!! Due to unforeseen circumstances we managed to book Jo at short notice and she was brilliant, fun, open and professional all at the same time. Let’s you be natural on photos and throughout the events and just clicks away........ there is an art to capturing the moment in photos and when the pictures were delivered...... well to say we were pleasantly surprised is a massive understatement. Jo is an all round professional who makes you feel at ease and lets the natural side of the event flow yet can pick out some great hidden gems to get the perfect shot!!!!! Definately recommended!!!! Well done Jo and keep up the great work!? More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
To build a relationship and familiarity between both myself and those I am photographing, which helps to create those fun relaxed natural images.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is important to them? What makes them feel happy? Favourite colours? What colours are in their home? All help to create the perfect image
What inspired you to start your own business?
My own children and having beautiful images of them around the house, and wanting to offer others the same.
