We have had two sessions with Emma now and have a third booked in. On the initial newborn shoot she was very friendly and made us feel really comfortable. The pictures were edited beautifully and were displayed via a lovely presentation at the studio. Our second session was the Christmas shoot with Santa. Unfortunately our little one was petrified of Santa but Emma and the team had so much patience and made us all feel really comfortable. They were really creative and played around with the setup to get different photos. Again, Emma went away and edited the photos in just 2 days and I'm lost for

Beautiful pictures. We went for a newborn session and came back for a smash the cake for his second birthday. Emma has tons of amazing settings, baby clothes and items to use so can adapt to your demand. Will definitely come back again and highly recommend her!

We have received our gorgeous photographs from Emma and we are so pleased. This is the third time weve used Emma. I have a maternity and newborn shoot last year. And another newborn shoot shortly after my second was born in august. She was so patient with us considering we had a newborn, 17 month old and dog to try and get pictures with. She really accommodated us as a family and even managed to get a beautiful picture of our newborn and 17 month old which is never thought would happen! We are more than impressed. Thank you so much Emma and cannot wait to come back again when the babies are

We used Studio Bambino several years ago for a bump shoot and then newborn shoot when our son was born. He wasn't the easiest of models but Emma took some amazing photos that still have pride of place on our walls. She was friendly, skilled and very patient, and the images were just what we wanted and not at all over-edited. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Studio Bambino.

Emma at Studio Bambino is amazing. Shes talented, patient and a wonderful photographer. We have used her for 7 photoshoots in total from maternity to newborn to capturing our children at 1yr old. She isnt phased by grumpy children or babies who dont sleep! Each time weve had beautiful images that we will cherish forever. I cant recommend her highly enough!

We used Studio Bambino for both my maternity shoot and our newborn shoot. During my maternity session, Emma made me feel so relaxed and happy within myself and the resulting photos are absolutely stunning. Our son's newborn shoot took place later than expected due to COVID delays, however even though baby was a few weeks older than originally planned, Emma still managed to get the results we wanted. We love every single one of our photos and can only speak highly of Studio Bambino's work. Great price for a professional service.
