“Charlie was absolutely amazing. We had a session booked for Christmas photos and we couldn't make it. She had no problem postponing until mother's day. We had the perfect spot in the woods and Charlie used every opportunity to take some fantastic photos.
We have three children, 12, 4 and 2. She did amazing getting photos that were natural and that showed us as a family. We did the shoot in an hour and none of the children were over tired after the shoot. She took family photos and individuals portraits. The photos were so beautiful that we couldn't decide and ended up taking all of them. Her prices were very reasonable as well.
We would highly recommend her to families with young children, families with older children and all in all everyone that is looking for a fun and professional photographer. Thank you Charlie for everything. Our photos will go on the wall for everyone to appreciate.”

“Absolutely loved the photos Charlie took of our little boy recently! She was fantastic during the entire shoot - professional but also lots of fun and somehow managed to keep our little one smiling the whole time. I also really appreciated her creative approach to some of the shots both in the house but particularly in the garden which are beautiful. Super convenient to have her come to our home which made the whole experience MUCH more relaxing for mum and baby. Highly recommended!”

We have had both of our photo shoots done with Charlie (Maternity And Newborn), And both times the results were outstanding! We could not recommend her enough for how professional she was both times!
The first photoshoot we did gave me enough confidence for me to come back and book her for my newborn shoot.
I was nervous with my newborn shoot in how I would feel about my baby being put in all different positions, if it was safe and would he be comfortable, etc. But after seeing how amazingly Charlie worked with him and how relaxed he was it instantly put my worries at bay and I could relax! I 100% trusted Charlie with my newborn.
I couldn't be more grateful for her work and the results! Thank you for capturing my perfect little family. Both photoshoots were outstanding!

“Met Charlie on location, she was really friendly and made me feel at ease straight away. My 3 year old can be quite shy but she was great with her. The shoot was a lot cheaper than what many other photographers charge and then you just pay per picture. I got the digital photos back quickly and they were just what I wanted. I also received them in black and white too at no extra cost which are lovely. Definitely recommend 🙂”

“We booked Charlie for a social distancing photo shoot with our three children (including a 15 day old). Charlie found the perfect location, she was friendly and engaging. The kids loved every minute of it and me and my husband spent the whole time smiling. Our online gallery was ready by the same evening and there were so many beautiful photos to choose from. We will be booking our Christmas photos in. Cant recommend enough.”

“Such a friendly and warm experience. Charlie was so patient with letting my little girl get settled and comfortable before taking any photos. It wasn’t rushed at all and my little girl took to her so quick and easily! Would definitely recommend and hopefully have some more photos done in the future.”

“We had a newborn photoshoot with Charlie when our little one was 10 days old. Charlie was amazing at making all three of us feel at ease and we got some incredible pictures that we will cherish always. She had great ideas on what would work and incorporated a blanket that we asked to be included.
As well as getting great pictures, it was also a really enjoyable experience. It was our first real trip out and I was worried about how it would work with changing and feeding etc but Charlie really put me at ease. Plus there was a steady supply of tea and party rings- always a bonus!
The only difficult thing about the experience was choosing which pictures we wanted!
There was no pressure or 'sales pitch' to buy more than we wanted and Charlie simply checked in to let us know the images were available and to see if we had any questions.
I live in Cheltenham and would definitely travel to Charlie again.”

She was very kind, helpful and made us feel at ease and when we received the photos it was so hard to choose as all of them was amazing would definitely highly recommend Charlie and can’t wait to book more sessions for the future.”

“We recently had an outdoor family photo shoot with Charlie and we are over the moon with the photos that were captured from it! Definitely think it's one of the best outdoor shoots we've had and Charlie was just lovely and so patient with our little boy (who just wanted her camera for the entire shoot ) an amazing spot and some fantastic images that we'll treasure for a long time!!”

“Thank you, Charlie for creating such beautiful photos of my family. We have quite a variety of ages with our children (12, 7 and 8 months!) and Charlie was so patient and understanding with them all. The studio and outdoor area were lovely settings for the photos and I loved the different outfits and toys she had available. I have been recommending Charlie to my friends in the forest and my partner and I have already said how much we would love you to do our wedding (when we eventually get round to it!) “

“Charlie was absolutely amazing with my twin ladies, plus a 3 year old in tow! I've never been to see such a lovely, professional and all round superstar photographer who just captured our little ladies best sides. She was so patient, welcoming and clearly had so much experience on her side I'll be coming back time and time again.”
