We would highly recommend Tracy for any family looking to have gorgeous pictures of their little one(s) taken in a comfortable private studio with a plethora of wonderful outfits and materials to experiment with. Tracy was amazing with the baby and we are extremely pleased with our lovely pictures. She was kind enough to agree to split our shoot so that we could come back after school with our older son for family pictures, which were included for us in the images for section - this was absolutely the best thing so thank you very much again Tracy!

We recently had a newborn/family shoot with Tracy and I have nothing but good things to say! She made us feel so welcome and was so helpful settling our newborn which is more then helpful especially with an uncooperative toddler running around her studio! She so passionate about the images she gets and really takes the time to position everything just so. I was so worried about getting a good photos with our toddler as he just hates being made to do something but when tracy showed us our images I could not help but cry! She really did get the most amazing photos of us all which are now on display

Ive been to Tracy several times for different shoots of my daughters, I wouldnt go no where else now. Tracy is very patients as I can imagine it being hard to photograph a child specially my toddler, she is brilliant with children. Even in these covid times Tracy still made us feel at ease and takes her time to get the best photos she can.

I have used Tracy 6 times over the last 3 years for lots of different style/types of shoots and she always manages to capture the most amazing photos! Always very professional and goes above and beyond to get the perfect images! I truly believe the quality images you receive are genuinely priceless and Tracy offers these packages at such a reasonable price! I wouldnt use another photographer now!

I booked a sitter shoot for my son but because of covid it had to be rescheduled, Tracy was very attentive and was happy to change the shoot style we wanted as it was closer to his birthday so decided to do the cake smash. She was very patient at working with the children and my son loved her which I think makes so much difference in these kind of photo shoots. Will definitely be booking again. Thankyou xx
