I would highly recommend Stan Seaton photography to anybody thinking of getting some updated family photos taken. We booked for Alberts newborn shots and From the moment we set foot in the studio we were made to feel at ease and very comfortable. Having a new baby can be stressful to go anywhere without panicking but we were told to take our time to get him ready and if we needed to feed him or change him there was no rush.
Stan was a superstar photographer he got loads of gorgeous sleepy baby shots and some fantastic family memories that we will cherish forever. In these difficult times it

Stan and Jane are absolutely amazing, recently collected our prints of our precious little girl Ava. I've cried every time I've looked at them because they are just so perfect. Both of them made us feel so welcome and comfortable in such uncertain times. Stan was great taking the photos, he really knows his stuff!! And Jane was so lovely helping us choose, even though it was really hard!! We can't wait to book for Ava's first year shoot!! Couldn't recommend these guys enough!!
