Where is your studio?
The studio is a lovely big modern space in my home in Ealing, West London and as such is a very relaxed setting for children who settle in very quickly. You can park on the road outside without a permit or the tube station is only 2 mins walk away. There is a studio cat which is a great ice breaker for shy kids – obviously let me know if there are any allergies and I can put her away.
How old do the children need to be?
Any age of child can be photographed in this way..if your child is not able to stand yet, then we can pose them on their stomach or on a bean bag, with complementary colours and textures, and also do family shots so you’re holding them.
What do I need to bring?
I will give you a call to discuss clothing and props before the day, taking into account the children’s characters and colouring to choose clothes and props that will compliment them and make the most of their session. As we’re aiming for simple and elegant we will try to clothe the children accordingly, however it’s fun to bring props such as hats or scarves or toys to change it up and get a different look.
How long will the session be?
The studio shoot would take around 40 mins and the edited images will be ready to view from your home computer within a few days. I will take both black and white and colour images, I think they work equally well and are both going to stand the test of time.
I am happy to photograph siblings together and separately, it may take slightly longer to do 3 kids but I work quickly so as not to have them run out of steam and I find that the kids truly love the sessions and feel very special having their portrait taken.
Do I need to come back for a viewing?
No, I know how busy my clients all are and so I make life easier by giving you an online viewing gallery of your images within a few days of the shoot. You can then order your images from the comfort of your own home, however I will always be on hand to guide you if you need a hand in choosing either images or products.
When are these special offer shoots?
So these shoots are only available on specific dates outlined below. They are offered to the local community in Ealing and to my regular clients, they are not on offer generally…
How much are the shoots and products?
The offer price of £250 includes the shoot, all editing plus 4 finished portraits in digital form (usual price for this would be £600). Upgrades are priced at £25 per image or all for £400 extra.
Wow! I am truly blown away by the photographs that Susan shot of my children. I can’t stop looking at them. She has managed to capture such beautiful, gentle, elegant yet powerful images. I will treasure them forever. Susan made the children feel totally relaxed and at ease, they loved every minute of the shoot and had lots of fun. We have had professional shoots before but they have been nothing like this and it shows in what she has produced. Thank you Susan

Me and my husband enjoyed our pregnancy photoshoot with Susan very much. We got an advantage of a studio shoot with the professional photographer, backgrounds and light, combined with a very relaxed atmosphere. Susan made us feel home but stayed focussed on the shoot. She gave us a lot of flexibility to experiment but also offered some safe and tried options. The whole process was nothing but fun - Susan has a great sense of humour.Communication was smooth and we’ve got the photos very quickly. We’re very happy with the result as well - we’ve got unique professional photos to celebrate this precious moment in our lives. Looking forward to a newborn photoshoot with Susan!

First of all, if you are going to invest into maternity photoshoot - don't hesitate - just do it ! And Susan is the best when it comes to putting you at easy and making you feel sexy and comfortable in front of the camera. Her studio is beautiful, it feels calm and relaxing, even tea cups are gorgeous!I had so much fun doing the photoshoot and I absolutely LOVED the photos - ordered a few extra - just couldn't resist.So bottom line - embrace your pregnancy and do it in style with Susan, she doesn't know it yet, but I am definitely booking her to do my new-born shoot too:)

Such a fantastic experience! I came with my husband and my two-year-old boy for maternity photoshoot. We felt very comfortable and relaxed at the studio, especially my boy who enjoyed playing in the garden. Susan was very helpful to advise me on what clothes I should get for my boys, and this made the preparation process much easier. Loved all materials, I felt very comfortable at the photo shoot. Stunning photos!

We had a very nice stressfree session with Susan. She told us exactly what to do and that care of half the job. Very friendly and professional at the same time. The only stressful part was having to choose the pictures as they were all good.

I have been looking for an extra large scarf for a long time. They seem hard to find and terribly expensive. But today I lucked out and purchased an extra large forget me knot scarf. I am absolutely thrilled. it is absolutely exquisite and beautifully made and good quality silk. I wish I could buy all of them, they look amazing with dress up/ down casual and event pieces. I am going to float around in all my outfits with my lovely scarf, to show my friends. When they see it, they will also want to buy one too, Thank you Susan!

The whole experience with Susan was amazing. She was great and flexible around the booking for the shooting session.The session itself was smooth and fun and while we were worried about how our toddler would behave, everything went so well thanks to Susan’s experience !We have then received the pictures within few days only (other photographers usually take much longer).Last but not least, the pictures were astonishing ! We never had pictures like these ones. We, and more particularly our toddler, looked so naturally beautiful in the pictures!Not only we will recommend Susan to all our friends but we will definitely use her again in the future

Susan captures the most amazing images. She completely puts you at ease meaning they look natural and is a genius with lighting and angles. Her photos manage to make you look like you’re in editorials from glossy magazines.

This is the second time that my wife and I have had our photos taken by Susan; the first two years ago was for a maternity shoot and more recently we did a newborn shoot. On both occasions Susan put us at ease, especially when I am uncomfortable behind and in front of the camera. Susan was very patient with our daughter in our recent photo shoot, she gave easy to follow directions and was very good with her.Overall we had two fun and enjoyable experiences which resulted in some lovely photos.

We recently moved to London from New York and wanted to take family photos to share with our friends and family abroad. Susan was very professional and fun to work with. She did a great job capturing our 11 month old and beloved family dog as well as taking candid family moments. I would highly recommend her and use her services again

We had a family photo shoot with our eight month old baby and absolutely enjoyed the experience! Susan made us feel very comfortable and the photos turned out amazing! We couldn’t pick just 5 so ended up going for 15. Expensive but so worth the price, they’re a work of art and will be treasured for many years to come.

Susan is lovely! We went to her for a maternity shooting when I'm 36 weeks pregnant. My husband is quiet nervous when we have no idea what to do in front of camera . Susan was very patient and kind that guide us to pose a couple pose and the result is brilliant. We are having so much fun while shooting. She's friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend!

I took a workshop with Susan and was so thrilled with the knowledge that I gained from just one day! I feel reinspired and cant wait to start applying the new lighting techniques into my business. Susan is patient and professional, I would recommend her to anyone looking for fine art portraits or looking to learn from her at one of her workshops. She is worth every penny!

If you're looking for a modern portrait photographer who can capture your family in an authentic vs staged environment, then Susan is a perfect choice. We were blown away with our maternity and newborn photoshoots with Susan. Both the experience and pictures were more than we could have hoped for. We were made to feel totally comfortable and cannot wait to capture more memories with our beautiful family.

I would recommend any pregnant woman to enjoy the experience of maternity photoshoot! After months of changing body shape, focusing on having a healthy pregnancy, clothes that stop fitting and scrutiny from the outside world - it is amazing to have a few hours dedicated just to you and beauty of your pregnancy. Susan made me and my husband feel extremely comfortable during the whole photoshoot and final images are just stunning memories of our pregnancy journey.

22:21 03 Aug 18
The whole session was so fun. I was very nervous to begin with and felt like I was shaking in front of the camera. Susan has a very calming presence and is very talkative, so I was quickly distracted from those nerves and enjoyed posing in front of the camera by the end! Despite being so warm and friendly, she is also assertive & professional in directing the session and glides around capturing all the right angles and lighting to recreate your favourite looks or new postures that come to mind at the time. I had photos in quite a few outfits, with and without my husband, in different lighting, with different backgrounds and with dramatic chunky jewellery - and we absolutely love the portfolio - just a shame we can’t afford them all!! Nevertheless, we will treasure the photos we’ve chosen for a lifetime. Such fantastic memories of bump and the pregnancy as a whole. We can’t wait to see the prints on physical form (and maybe get one framed for the house). Totally recommend Susan for this creative type of photography! We can’t wait to return for a session with Bambi to capture both the “before” and “after” moments...

Susan was such a professional and made the whole experience very, very memorable. From offering me a fresh strong coffee after a tricky night with my little one, to making her big sister feel very special and included, it was a day and show to remember. The pictures are magnificent and they will be treasured for a lifetime. Worth every penny.

Thank you once again Susan for a great photoshoot! We used Susan for a newborn photoshoot with our firstborn. We did it in our house so definitely more challenging for a photographer compared to being in a studio. Susan was amazing! Second time, again a family photoshoot with our second baby in our home. As always, Susan was great with the kids, and super efficient! We love our pictures! She managed to capture spontaneous moments full of laughter and happiness that to us are very precious! Thank you once again!

Its a pleasure working with Susan. Our exchanges before the shoot were great - I knew exactly what to expect and we got good advice on location and what to wear. The shoot went very smoothly, and Susan was able to capture fabulous shots, ticking off everything on my wish list. She was flexible and worked well with my two-year old daughter, dog, and husband - who does not like posing for the camera! I cant wait to work with her again.

Once again, we had such an amazing experience. Susan has a great personality and a spot on eye, able to improvise at any minute while we were outdoors. My daughter felt relaxed and happy and so did we. The pictures were fabulous and that is why I keep coming back to Susan for more and more photo sessions. I would recommend Susan to anyone who would want long lasting, quality memories.Thank you Susan, you've been brilliant again! xx

I really enjoyed my maternity photo session with Susan last weekend. She is warm, friendly and immediately made us feel comfortable. I wasn't really sure what I wanted, other than for us to capture 'the bump', but I love the varied, beautifully lit images she has produced. I'm happy we'll have these to look back on and remember this time. Definitely recommended!

Susan is – extraordinary.It’s not just her astonishing ability to catch light that sets her images apart but also her innate skill at immortalising the relationships her subjects share. While her artistry is undoubtedly a well-honed gift, her easy going, welcoming and truly practical approach puts her subjects at ease and allows her to deliver startling portraits. Thank you Susan. Cannot wait till next time!

Susan came to our house to do a photo shoot of our 2 month old son. She was very prompt in replying to email messages and kept in touch to confirm our appointment date and time. We did not feel rushed and Susan allowed plenty of time to take photos of our son allowing for changes in his mood. We even walked around with him and played music to settle him when he was crying. We love the photos and hope to have another photo shoot with Susan when he is a bit older.Thank you.Shiv and Sen

I booked a family shoot with Susan because I wanted to capture a special moment in time with my family. We had never had a professional shoot before and were a little sceptical about how Susan would get us into a frame looking like we wanted to be there! We visited Susan's studio and she managed the task with humour. The shoot was fun, and the photos prove that. We are getting some classic close up prints which I will treasure.

We got images taken on Hampstead Heath as we enjoy walking there as a family. Susan is really friendly and engaging and was absolutely wonderful at getting my two boys to be enthusiastic about the shoot - which is no small feat especially since the youngest is only two years old. The resulting images were beautiful, the only problem we had was deciding which ones to frame!

We recently had our two children photographed at Susan's studio, and the photos really capture their personalities. Our 4 year old daughter especially loved posing in front of the wind machine and Susan managed to capture our cheeky one year old son with his big sister after many creative attempts at trying to get them to stay still together! The images are superb and I would recommend Susan for her skill and artistry.

Absolutely fantastic! Susan was simply great for the whole family and with 3 children this isn't easy. We achieved all the pics and more and will certainly be using Susan again. What I was particularly pleased with was the fact that Susan captured all of our personalities in one photo positively and consecutively in others too. Photos were all great quality and the toughest job was deciding which to go for! Thank You Susan for this fab memory we will always cherish.

We recently did our second family photo shoot with Susan.We did our 1st shoot in Kew Gardens. Having very much enjoyed this experience we had no hesitation to ask her to shoot our family again, this time including our recent addition, at her studioWith great skill and patience she has again taken photographs which are very natural and beautiful to look at. They will take pride of place at home.

I recently had a maternity shoot with Susan in her studio in Ealing. This was something I did for my husband as a surprise as he loves my growing bump. I was quite nervous as I'm rather self critical but Susan very much put me at ease. She was very considered and thoughtful in her approach and spent a lot of time doing a variety of images with different outfits so there have been a lot of beautiful images to choose from, which isn't a problem I anticipated having! I look forward to our newborn shoot.

I did a maternity shoot with Susan last week- a great experience!She was so lovely and professional but also quite relaxed.She made me feel very comfortable and not at all self conscious which was especially important as I was getting half naked (and naked at one point!).The photos are amazing and it's been quite difficult choosing which ones to keep.I would highly recommend Susan to have your pregnancy documented. I will definitely book again for newborn or family shoot.

I had a pregnancy and newborn shoot with Susan. For the pregnancy shoot she put me at ease and for the newborn shoot she was very gentle with my 9 day old. We have ended up with some really beautiful shots from both shoots, with fantastic professional studio lighting. She has also been incredibly prompt in getting the images over for review after the shoot, with the edited images arriving within a few days. The only issue has been trying to decide which to purchase. Thank you Susan.

Having seen Susan's photos on her website I just knew that she was the photographer I wanted to capture our family while we were visiting. She was warm & friendly and managed to get along with our entire family, FYI (ages from 4yrs -65yrs). She made us feel at ease and very natural in front of the camera. The moments she caught were incredible and we will treasure them for years to come. Definitely a thumbs up!!!

I recently visited Susan's studio for a maternity photo shoot. I have to admit that I was having second thoughts that morning as I felt like I resembled a whale at 36 weeks pregnant! However I had nothing to worry about. Susan is so welcoming and we all felt very comfortable immediatley (my husband and 2yr old son accompanied me). Susan was great at giving me clear instructions on how to stand and smile etc and encourged us to involve our toddler. I'm delighted we did as he really enjoyed the experience and the photos afterwards were priceless. When you are pregant it feels like the journey will never end, but it does and since baby arrived I find it hard to even remember what I looked like. I'm so happy now to have such beautiful photos to remind myself of an amazing time in our life. So if you are considering a maternity photo shoot, then I don't think you could find a better photographer than Susan. We are returning soon to have family photos taken with our new addition.

Susan Porter-Thomas made me feel really relaxed, providing me with maternity photos that I will treasure for years to come. She was very professional and used fantastic lighting with some great concepts. Highly recommend!

Our twin babies were only 3 months when we decided it was time to take some family pictures. A friend from my NCT group recommended Susan and after looking at her online portfolio we decided she was right for us. We only had 1 hour between arriving at her home studio and the kids next feed and nap, so time was precious. Susan made us all (babies and parents!) feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. The result was beautiful. We had the photos printed for the grandparents Xmas present and it was a success. We also, of course, shared them with our friends, who absolutely loved them. Thank you, Susan, in the midst of sleepless nights and constant feeding, we had a great moment that will last forever.

Susan Porter is a wonderful photographer, and can get great pictures even in difficult shoots including young children. I have done two shoots with her and will definitely come back for more!

Susan is not just a technically adept photographer, she has a knack for putting kids (and their parents) completely at ease. The hour we spent with her at Kew was immense fun, and I am now in possession of some images of my children which have completely captured their personalities and sense of adventure. I will treasure them for years to come.
