SO THRILLED

We have just enjoyed a family photo shoot with Susan and have to say, the whole experience was fabulous from start to finish. Susan is absolutely lovely, warm and relaxed, putting us all instantly at ease. My children thought it was such a treat and even my husband discovered his inner diva! The resulting photos are gorgeous – I definitely recommend her!

YOUR QUESTIONS

The nuts and bolts!

What if I want more than 6 images?

You can choose to upgrade from the minimum package once you have seen your images, packages are set at 6, 12, 20 or all or you can buy albums or wall prints too

What's the difference between low resolution and high resolution images?

Low resolution are sized for screen viewing only, they are 1000px on the longest side and are 72dpi (dots per inch). To give you an idea, you need minimum 240 dpi for printing photos.

High resolution images are the full size JPEG images suitable for printing upto any size you like

How will I be getting my digital files?

I will be sending you an encripted download link with a password so you can download your images directly onto your pc. I always keep your images for 10 years so if you ever loose them I can send them again.

What size are the free prints?

Your free prints will be upto 12x8in (A4) or you can request smaller. If you would like larger you can upgrade to larger images or you can use your high resolution files to order large prints from my preferred supplier.

Do you do wall displays?

You can order prints, frames, canvasses and albums from within your online gallery, or you can choose a package of digital and physical products.

How far ahead should I book?

My diary is booking about 5/6 weeks ahead at the moment, so think again if you can. If you are expecting your baby and are wanting a newborn session I would recommend booking a time when you are about 34 weeks or before and book it for around 10 days after the due date. The date you choose is not fixed in stone and can be changed if necessary.

I don't know where to do my family shoot?

Let me worry about that one. I will have a chat with you when you’ve made your booking to work out the best option for you. There are plenty of amazing locations in the London area or I’m happy to do home shoots too.

How quickly can I see the images from my shoot?

It usually takes me less than a week to get your images ready to view. You’ll then get an email with a link to a password protected gallery.

How many images will I have to choose from?

The number of images you will get in your gallery depends on the number of people at your session, but as a rough guide it would be 45 images for 1 person, 60 for 2, 75 for 3, 90 for 4 etc. You can then choose to buy 6, 12, 20 or all of those images after you have seen them.

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!

Great experience throughout and fantastic pictures - from the professional communication, friendly welcome in the studio, fast turnaround of the images from the photo shoot and absolutely stunning pictures - I definitely recommend Susan to other moms-to-be.

We had a great time at Susan's studio and loved the style of photography and quality of the shots. Would definitely use again.

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

Susan is such a talented photographer! Just had my maternity photoshoot with her and absolutely loved it. We did outdoor pictures and the results were stunning! The session was really fun and she made me feel relaxed throughout the process. I couldn't recommend more her services.

Susan was absolutely brilliant -- we did 2 sessions with her, and in both cases, she went out of her way to make us comfortable. She's an absolute pleasure to work with, and the final result is exactly what we were hoping for!

Bella Y Wu Kostelec

14:35 06 Apr 19

Susan is amazing. Had my maternity photography in Susan's West London studio when I was 36 weeks pregnant, and also did my baby's 100 days photography with her as well.

Alex & Adolfo Custidianer

18:03 03 Apr 19

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.

Hazel Tang

18:31 03 Mar 19

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!

Chanda Brae

13:38 08 Feb 19

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!

James Martin

21:09 14 Jan 19

My partner and I had a delightful day with Susan. She spent the time teaching us some of the skills of portrait photography in studio settings and natural light. Her warmth and enthusiasm was infectious and we came away thrilled with the photos we had taken under her guidance.

Ian Saxon

11:28 05 Jan 19

Great photographer, great assistant, lovely studio where we were made to feel comfortable throughout. True professionals. We did maternity and newborn and were very pleased with both.

Rachel Faber

14:49 27 Dec 18

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.

Ganna Yevtushenko

12:32 05 Sep 18

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.

Samantha Allarton Pointer

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...

Rachel Hung

17:19 04 Jul 18

Was so impressed by my pregnancy photoshoot that I went back to Susan for our newborn pictures despite living right across London from her - they were even better! Susan is fun to work with and is completely open to suggestions and ideas. Highly recommended.

Rüdiger Kloss

18:04 15 May 18

Susan made us comfortable and we were able to do many different types of shots. We are very glad with the outcome and would highly recommend her!

Yvonne Ogorek-Zarate

10:43 08 May 18

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.

Qian Yu

It has been great experience to have Susan capturing both the bump and newborn sessions for us. Susan is professional, lovely and easy to work with. These impressive shoots from her mean so much to us.

Eliza Moldovan

20:58 05 Mar 18

Having a baby is such an amazing and wonderful experience. Susan managed to capture this happiness. I am so pleased with our newborn and family pictures. Again and again, Susan proves herself to be a professional photographer and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants the perfect photoshoot experience. Thank you Susan.

Helen Lin-Chhatpar

20:41 31 Jan 18

Susan is an incredibly talented and professional photographer with a gorgeous elegant yet demure style. She is fun to work with, and very understanding and supportive of what you want to get out of your portrait experience. I absolutely love how my maternity portraits turned out and 100% recommend her to anyone that wants a keepsake with some "wow" factor.

Anne Raleigh Rees

18:01 22 Jan 18

my sons got me the most wonderful gift- a family photo shoot! Susan was lovely to work with and we are all happy with the finished product- thank you for capturing the family so beautifully and accurately- you even managed to get the dog in a few photos!

Aspa Psaradellis

11:02 06 Jan 18

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!

We had lovely photo section with Susan, Susan was friendly and helpful. The images taken with Holland park in Autumn were gorgeous ! They are even better than I was imagined. Thank you so much Susan !

Nadia Strone

10:19 22 Nov 17

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.

Junya Hosaka

15:27 18 Nov 17

We had great experience with Susan. The shoot place were primrose hill. Her arrangements were perfect. Especially, she instructed us just right position and took us with sunlight filtering through the trees ingeniously. Our sons really enjoyed the photo shooting. The photos are so good and much exceeded our expectations. The photos and the experience are our precious memories in London !

We've just had our third photoshoot with Susan and are delighted with the photos yet again. Susan always makes us feel comfortable during the photo shoots and has captured some amazing images of our children.

Iivika Considine

18:35 04 Oct 17

We really enjoyed the entire session with the excellent Susan. She was prepared and patient (an essential skill when working with newborns) and was able to help Mom and Dad to enjoy the experience also! I'd have no hesitation in recommending Susan to capture those never to be replicated moments with your new arrival!

Miguel Oliveira

22:24 18 Sep 17

Susan was amazing through the entire journey: the photo session was delightful, in a very relaxed environment and it was a truly pleasant experience for both of us. The resulting pictures were absolutely fantastic: the attention to detail and expertise Susan put in the whole process made us feel more than happy with the pictures we chose.We highly recommend Susan's photo sessions.

Eliza Moldovan

10:24 17 Sep 17

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

Steph

17:12 15 Sep 17

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!

Allegra Hardy

13:47 08 Sep 17

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!

12:35 04 Mar 17

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

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
