“Nothing felt rushed or false. The final images were authentic and we absolutely adore them”
We have many happy memories (and photos!) from the day spent with Anna. The whole session felt very relaxed and we feel she really captured all of our personalities, individually and as a family in a very natural way.
We all liked the fact that the session was a mixture of a local park and inside our home. Nothing felt rushed or false which was great and even the dog enjoyed it! The final images were authentic and we absolutely adore them.

“They are such beautifully natural pictures of our children, and you have completely captured their personalities.”
I just wanted to write and thank you. We are absolutely thrilled with them. They are such beautifully natural pictures of our children, and you have completely captured their personalities.
It is really special to have a record of a snapshot in their lives, and I’m also really pleased to have some photos of me with them as I’m usually taking the holiday snaps. Both the inside shots and the ones in the park have are beautiful - I’m really delighted with them all.
A friend saw the one of my daughter walking along chatting to her Dad and said it made the hair on the back of the neck stand up on end!
The whole process, from chatting to you about the type of photos we wanted, the shoot, choosing the images with you to receiving the final prints and frames themselves has been been a real pleasure.

“So fully encapsulating the essence of our children”
We have loved Anna’s photos. They have captured moments in time of my family that are not only visually beautiful but so fully encapsulating the essence of our children. Anna has an amazing talent in bringing out what makes us ‘us’. We have had such fun - we have played on beaches and in woods, messed about in the garden, relaxed inside, enjoyed a session in her studio for some classic portraits before piling out to run in fields and along country lanes.
This is a very poignant picture as Bear went everywhere with Tilly and she could not be without him. Then Bear fell off the pram and Andy went back to Cambridge and searched the streets with no luck. This picture is all we have, and hugely precious it is as it was so much part of her and our memories of her as a little one.
When you receive the results you find yourself engaged with every picture – some because they are simply lovely, others because they make you laugh as it is so George, Maddie or Tilly, and others because they simply reflect you and your family that you know it is a timeless piece that you never want to be without. One such picture sits on my desk at work and it is consistently commented on for its beauty and energy.

“Anna’s photographs are wholly natural and have authentically captured their unique personalities”
Anna has (to date) visited us twice to photograph our twin boys and us a family, the shoots taking place around the time of their first and third birthdays. We wanted to have a record of our daily family life during those early stages, and the photographs that Anna took for us have become as much of a treasured memento of the boys’ early years as their first clothes & finger-paintings!
Our two boys have never been the most willing photographic subjects (!) but Anna put them completely at ease from the first moment, blending in with their daily routine and engaging with their interests & activities. Each photoshoot felt more like a fun day out rather than a stressful exercise in trying to coax a “performance” out of the children, and as a result, Anna’s photographs are wholly natural and have authentically captured their unique personalities.
We have already booked our next session with Anna, and we’re looking forward to having a record of the next stage in our boys’ lives, and another set of memories that we can look over with them in the years ahead.

“She builds a quick and easy rapport with everyone from awkward older boys to shy two year olds ”
Christian and I are always thrilled with the stunning photos Anna takes. We have used her several times now for family photography and the christening of our youngest son.
We love natural photos which really capture the character of each of our children and Anna has that talent and is so easy to be with.
When we had a family photoshoot and Anna was charged with capturing us and our four small, unreliable children, she was brilliant. She builds a quick and easy rapport with everyone from awkward older boys to shy two-year-olds.
My husband has very little patience and there was a danger he might not co-operate. Anna has great emotional intelligence and just picked up on that without me even having to explain! She worked her magic and made the whole process completely painless for him!
As for the albums and frames we have, Anna is a perfectionist with immaculate taste and style. Need I say more?

“…she’d just be with us, play with us… as she took pictures.”
I clearly remember the first few times Anna came to photograph my sisters and me. I had always hated being in photos, especially if I was told what to do, but with Anna, she’d just be with us and play with us. Mostly we would go on a walk, or into the forest near our house, and play with our dollies, or make dens and climb trees as she took pictures.
When I became a teenager it was a bit different as Anna and I talked about the shoot before we started and, because I was interested in clothes and fashion and photography, Anna really involved me in decisions.
Whenever we get the photographs back, we always love them. In fact, mum always says that we look natural and exactly how and who we are. I know mum sees them as something she will look back on and know that was exactly how we were, not all glammed up, but a perfect window into that moment of our lives.

“You are supremely clever and talented”
We want to say a massive thank you for all our beautiful photographs. We absolutely love them all. I can’t tell you how many times already I have scrutinized each picture in the frames and each page of the album. They all work so wonderfully well. You are supremely clever and talented and we will love and cherish these forever.

“We are absolutely over the moon with everything and the family book is the cherry on top of the cake - so beautiful”
Thank you doesn’t seem enough for all the wonderful pictures and the fantastic book of Hannah. We are absolutely over the moon with everything and the family book is the ‘cherry on top of the cake’ - so beautiful.
We are so glad that we had both the newborn and 8-month sessions - she has changed so much and you managed to capture her personality coming through and all those wonderful facial expressions and also her learning to crawl.
The time we spent with you was great as always and now we have these wonderful images and memories to treasure. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

“We can’t stop looking at them!”
OMG, they are amazing! We can’t stop looking at them! We just knew we’d love them and we do - you’ve just captured the real ‘us’ and we’re going to cherish these always.

“They are breathtaking”
I have just had a chance to sit down and look through the photographs. They are breathtaking. You have done an amazing job of capturing baby Teodor.

“We are over the moon with the pictures”
I just wanted to send you a note about the shots of Isobel. Obviously, it is a little difficult to be objective given the subject matter, however, I think the shots are tremendous. I've worked with a lot of 'people' photographers over the years and yet I don't remember ever having so much useable material 'back from the lab'. We are over the moon with the pictures.

“Anna surpassed all our expectations”
We wanted to capture memories of Arthur before he started school.
Anna surpassed all our expectations and produced images that are so precious to us. These include pictures of him concentrating intently on his beloved trains and a timeless shot of his bottom lip protruding following a disagreement with his bike.
Just perfect and achieved because he was so at ease with Anna.
One of my most treasured possessions is my beautiful glacier block of Arthur that sits on my bedside table and melts my heart every time I look at it.

“From the start Anna slotted in and became part of the family for the day”
Anna came to photograph us whilst we were on holiday in Aldeburgh celebrating my mother’s birthday. The whole family was there, all 17 of us, and we ranged in age
from 10 - 80.
From the start, Anna slotted in and became part of the family for the day. She has an innate ability to take pictures without being intrusive or ruffling feathers. Even self-conscious teenagers, reluctant husbands and rumbustious dogs relaxed - quite a feat.
It had been a slightly dreary day weather-wise, so we were particularly thrilled with the end results which didn’t reflect this at all. There were so many stunning ones to choose from. Anna, however, was extremely helpful and patient in this process – she really wanted to get everything right for us.

“…my daughter, who is quite shy normally, really came out of her shell with the help of Anna’s enthusiasm and professionalism.”
I commissioned Anna to take professional headshots of my 15 yr old to send to casting agencies. Anna produced a brilliant range of extremely high-quality photographs with different looks. We were delighted with the results and my daughter, who is quite shy normally, really came out of her shell with the help of Anna’s enthusiasm and professionalism. I would highly recommend Anna for professional headshots and portraits of teenagers.
