Our recent photography session with Polly was so lovely and relaxed, we felt so at ease as we walked around a local forest with our little girl. We could not be happier with the images, they are definitely memories to treasure for ever, if only we had discovered her before we got married!! Thank you so much Polly, it was a great day and the pictures are just beautiful!

Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Took photos of my newborn during lockdown and the results were great. Polly was great at making my toddler at ease during the whole process which was outdoors due to COVID. Will definitely use her again for future family memories.

We would highly recommend Polly, we were so pleased with the photos of our family. The quality was excellent and the shoot was in a natural setting near our home. It was a really fun experience and Polly was great (and patient) with our 6 month old.

Polly's beautiful pictures are a family treasure -- she captured a family Saturday morning in all its messy, happy glory but somehow managed to make us look like our best selves. She was great with the children and very patient and willing to accommodate my small son's ideas, which led to a much-loved picture of him cleaning his scooter.
