Whether photographing intimate gatherings or large groups, our team uses creative lighting, styling, and composition to highlight relationships and emotions. Clients receive tailored guidance on outfits, backdrops, and poses to ensure images reflect their family's personality.
Newborn Photography
Our newborn sessions prioritize safety and comfort, using specialized poses and props to immortalize the first weeks of your baby's life. Photographers recommend scheduling within the first 14 days for optimal sleepy, curled-up poses, with extended time allocated for feeding and breaks. Each session includes a cinematic reveal of edited images and a custom keepsake frame.
Pet Portraits
Pet photography sessions at Bartley Studios celebrate the unique bond between owners and their furry companions. Offering both 'You & Your Dog' and 'Pet Only' packages, we use dynamic posing and creative editing to showcase pets' personalities. Sessions include a consultation to discuss preferred themes and moods, ensuring portraits that capture your pet's spirit.
Maternity Sessions
Maternity photography focuses on celebrating the beauty of pregnancy through elegant, artistic compositions. Recommended between 34-36 weeks, these sessions use soft lighting and draped fabrics to accentuate the baby bump. Clients receive guidance on wardrobe choices and posing techniques to create empowering, emotionally resonant images.
Business Portraits
Professional business portraits enhance personal and company branding through polished, expressive imagery. Sessions include wardrobe consultation and multiple poses to suit various corporate needs, from website profiles to marketing materials. High-resolution digital files are professionally retouched to ensure a polished, consistent look across all images.

We booked to have a new born/family shoot and I cannot recommend Bartleys enough, We absolutely loved every minute from our pictures being taken to viewing them, We have been this evening to view our pictures and I absolutely love them all, and I cannot wait to receive our framed pictures soon
Our baby girl was only 3 weeks old and our first baby so I was unsure how she would be during the shoot or what to expect and Bartleys were so professional, friendly, they didnt rush when our daughter wanted feeding during the shoot they are amazing. Thank you so so much for capturing the most

We were given a voucher as a present through moonpig for a photography session. We tried to book this in October, but unfortunately had to decline. The studio contacted us to book the session and get an understanding of what we wanted. We were told we'd have to pay a 35 deposit to hold the appointment and would only get this back after the 3 sessions (the photo shoot, viewing the photos and photo collection). Whoever I spoke too then went through the price listing, our experience gave us ONE free photo at 10x8 any photos after that at that size came at an additional cost of 75 each! Even digital

It's hard to not give the guys at Bartley 5 stars. We've had a couple of shoots done with our son and dog & from beginning to end has been great. We had to rearrange one shoot as the wife and son had covid, the studio were understanding and moved it no problems.
Yes, the photos aren't cheap but you're paying for a good quality product as well as the time for the photographer to go through all the images (not just take the pics), then to sit with you whilst you choose what ones want and in what sort of frames etc.
Overall, they're friendly, professional, great with kids & animals and at the end

Amazing experience Jake had a challenge when our baby woke up 😆but managed to get some really good photos. He was fantastic with our older son and got him to do the correct poses and to do a normal smile by being silly and playful with him. I would definitely recommend him. 10 out of 10 for everything. thankyou again Jake.
