Reviews are the real test of how my clients feel about my work. I hope they help to persuade you to jump in and book your own photoshoot. I’ve been a photographer for over 20 years and have thousands of happy customers from all over the world.
I had a wonderful maternity shoot experience with Susan. She made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the session, and her guidance was incredibly helpful while still allowing everything to feel natural.The photos are beautiful and capture this special time perfectly. I’ve already recommended her to several women from my antenatal class and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a maternity photographer.
Response from the owner: Thank you Soraya, I'm so glad you enjoyed your shoot. See you for baby soon xx

Really great photoshoot, Susan helped tremendously in taming my 1.5 year old monkey!
Response from the owner: Thanks Zahra..team work!!
From the very beginning, Susan was incredibly helpful and communicative, providing all the information I needed ahead of the shoot, even recommending a great local place for makeup, which made the whole experience feel seamless and stress-free.On the day, she had such a warm and calming presence, I felt immediately at ease. She was so patient and accommodating throughout, especially when I started to feel tired and needed a break.As it was my first time doing anything like this (and I don’t usually love having photos taken), I was quite nervous, but Susan guided me through every pose with such clarity and reassurance that I felt confident throughout.I was initially worried about even being able to get just two photos I liked enough to use, but in the end we had so many beautiful images to choose from that it was actually difficult to narrow it down to 20! I’ve no doubt this was down to her direction, her eye for angles and poses, and her help with backdrop and fabric selection.Susan was also amazing during the editing process. She was very flexible and open to feedback, offering different options and making tweaks until everything felt just right. I really appreciated that she created a custom package for us so we could include additional images, the whole experience felt very personal and tailored.I’m so grateful for these beautiful memories she’s captured and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you again, Susan! We really appreciate it! 🙂

I dreaded this photoshoot as I had never done anything like it before. It was a gift from my partner for me and my son.But the moment I met Susan face to face, all my worries and fears disappeared. It felt like spending the day with a very good friend.Susan is incredibly professional, but she also has such a warm and calming presence that instantly puts you at ease. I left thinking, wow, that was actually fun — I could do it again :)The photos were amazing.Thank you, Susan, for such a beautiful experience. I would highly recommend her.
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience taking both maternity and newborn photos with Susan. She made the experience memorable and we hope to visit her again soon. Thank you x

It was an absolutely wonderful experience getting my professional musician headshots done with Susan! I felt that her knowledge in photography and style in backdrop really helped me show who I am as a musician and I am so thankful I found her! I would absolutely recommend Susan for professional musician headshots! It was a pleasure working with her! 🙂

I had such a wonderful experience with Susan for a photoshoot with my baby. She is friendly, extremely professional, and a truly talented photographer. The photos of my daughter came out absolutely beautiful! Susan knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable and confident, and captured her sweet smiles perfectly.Even though she was fully booked, Susan kindly made time for us since I was only in London for two weeks, and she was so accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful for the stunning photos and for her kindness, and I hope to do another photoshoot with her in the future!

This was a photography session for my wife’s 40th birthday. Susan was very relaxed and made everyone ( a <1 year old and a 3 year old) feel comfortable and at ease, which really showed in the photos. She struck a great balance between giving direction and letting moments unfold naturally, so the pictures feel both polished and genuine. Thank you!
Response from the owner: You're very welcome Hew, take care Susan

Response from the owner: I'm very pleased you are happy with the experience Abdel I hope to see you again sometime
Susan is brilliant. We did a newborn photoshoot with our first born and a family photoshoot with our second more recently. She was brilliant with our toddler getting her to engage with the camera and her newborn sister. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere and Susan made us feel at ease. We even discussed post shoot edits to our photos. We are very grateful to Susan for taking such wonderful photos of our family.

I had Maternity and Newborn shootings with Susan. Both experiences and results turned out amazing. During the shoots it was very relaxing and fun, she always has nice suggestions when you are not sure about ideas. The shoot with baby was obviously more challenging, but me and my husband were both impressed with how beautifully the results came out.I do highly recommended Susan!

I've never done any kind of photoshoot before, so I was quite nervous and didn't know what to expect with a maternity one! Susan absolutely put me at ease, and I felt comfortable immediately. We laughed so much; she was really encouraging and positive and had great ideas. My husband and I travelled from another city to shoot, and we are so glad we did! The images are stunning! The hardest part is choosing which ones to keep lol xxx
Response from the owner: Thank you Christina I thoroughly enjoyed it too. Sxx

This is my 3rd family shoot at Burnham Beeches with Susan. Susan was spot on with the weather, she rightly cancelled the previous date due to the storm forecast and it was the sensible thing to do. At the outdoor shoot, she managed my 5 year old son tremulously, and my children are a fan of her. There was no fuss and we had beautiful light. She did my maternity shoot and new born shoot as well. It is so nice to see each other and this has become a yearly tradition to meet at the end of the year.
Response from the owner: It's a complete pleasure Henrietta.. I love seeing your kids grow..hugs xx
Absolutely wonderful and worked very well with our two young children. Susan was extremely accommodating and our photos turned out lovely! Highly Recommended!

I hate hate hate having being the center of attention and never know what to do when a photo is being taken. Susan immediately made me feel at ease and confident and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The photos are beautiful, tasteful and it’s honestly terribly hard to pick which one is my favorite. I cannot recommend Susan enough to anyone who wants ever lasting memories!
Response from the owner: Thanks Victoria it was my pleasure xx

Love Susan’s works on her website and instagram very much that I booked her for my maternity photoshoot during my early stage in pregnancy. Had the maternity photoshoot done in Susan’s studio, which’s very cozy, relaxing, and comfortable.Both Susan and the hair & makeup artist were very professional. I only chatted with them for a little bit and showed them a few preferable photos, then they knew exactly what style I would like to have. Susan was very patient guiding me to do different poses, and tried lots of fabrics with me. The whole photoshoot experience was enjoyable.We received the edited photos within one week after the photoshoots, and they are incredible beautiful! Can’t recommend Susan enough!
Response from the owner: Xxx

We had our maternity photoshoot done at 36 weeks. Susan is very friendly and welcoming upon our arrival in her earthy and bright studio/ house. The hair and makeup guy was already there waiting for me and the quality was fantastic, my hair was volumized and makeup done perfectly. Susan is very experienced in guiding us how to post and catch the best lighting. She was sleek and just know what to do. We had a great experience with the photoshoot. The photos are incredibly beautiful!
