We booked a newborn session with Alice when our son was 16 days old. Alice was incredible the entire time and our baby was so comfortable with her. Our photos were so beautiful so we decided to upgrade our package to the 'watch me grow' package so we get to come back and see Alice when our baby is sitting then standing. Would 100% recommend Alice, best in the business without a doubt.

We had our second baby's newborn photo shoot with Alice and we had a lovely experience. I must say we had a much better experience with Alice than with other photographers we have been to. Alice is professional, listens to what you want and tailors the service. Our pictures turned out absolutely amazing and we always get compliments about them as they as displayed around the house. Thank you Alice

We had the pleasure of having Alice do our wee boys newborn photo shoot. She was extremely professional and friendly. The photos and the package that we choose were excellent and can't recommend Alice highly enough. Thanks very much again Alice.

We booked Alice for a newborn photoshoot and she was brilliant from start to finish- so professional and friendly. She put us, and our baby, at ease very quickly. Photos are gorgeous and extremely professional and there are lots of packages available. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Alice and will be going back to her again in the future.

Alice done a photo shoot of my little boy when he was 8 days old. Alice was so gentle with him, very patient and lovely. My partner and myself sat back and relaxed whilst Alice got our baby boy in to some lovely positions for photos, she was like the baby whisperer. We went back the following week to look at all the photos which Alice presented to us in a slide show with some music and I couldn't hold back the tears. The photos are amazing! Would highly recommend x
