Questions
When is the best time to book a newborn photography session?
Ideal booking occurs between 20-30 weeks pregnancy, but we accommodate late bookings. Newborn sessions work best within the first 10 weeks, preferably before 2 weeks old.
What safety measures are in place for newborn photography?
All sessions follow strict safety protocols with trained professionals. No unsupported poses are attempted; composite images create illusion of aerial shots while maintaining physical safety at all times.
Do you offer photography outside the home environment?
While primarily a mobile service, we offer studio sessions at our Flixton location. Wedding and family photography also includes location shoots at client-chosen venues.
What print and digital options are available?
Clients receive fully edited digital images with print release. Premium options include framed wall art, layflat albums, and mounted prints in various sizes and formats.
Are payment plans available for photography packages?
We offer flexible payment options including Pay in 3 instalments. A deposit secures booking dates, with remaining payments structured around session timing and product selection.
How are sessions adapted during public health restrictions?
We maintain current hygiene protocols including PPE use, equipment sanitisation, and social distancing measures while preserving photographic quality and client comfort levels.

Small store but amazing products! My husband stopped by this store for flowers for my birthday and they were the most beautiful flowers I have ever received and even better they lasted a long time. Since we were in the midst of planning my son's wedding reception, I knew who I would go with immediately. Owner is helpful and knowledgeable. Price was great and she made it theprocess easy and fun!

Best photographer around! She takes beautiful photos and is very pleasant to work with! It's also very convenient she will come to your house, which makes everyone feel more comfortable!
Carol Williams
Fantastic photographs, couldn't have asked for more, so helpful throughout and the finished prints are stunning! Amazing value too, she spent well over an hour on the shoot then contacted us throughout editing, private viewing album online, helped us when we wanted to narrow down. There was no pressure just a lovely relaxed process from start to finish, then the photographs were delivered by hand to my daughters house in Leeds. I would give you 10 stars if I could Helen.

Amy Dodds
Helen did our wedding photography and we were blown away by the end album and the service received. There were photos for us to preview the morning after our wedding. We had loads of input into the final selection of photos and design of the album with professional advice at every turn. Helen was fantastic at engaging my 18 month old daughter in the photos providing images with smiles and laughter despite her being initially terrified of the big camera! We have a stunning album which captures our day perfectly! Definitely recommended!
Emma Mace
Would defiantly recommend Helen to everyone. The best photographer we have ever used. The images she has captured of our wedding and two family shoots have all been amazing! Loved every single one. She was also extremely patient and helpful on our last shoot with my littlest boy who has additional needs which helped the shoot go a lot better then I originally thought it would. Thank you Helen
Michelle Freebury
Great service from start to finish! Due to unforeseen circumstance we had to change the date of our shoot and Helen was really accommodating and very understanding. We were delighted with the photographs we received and the shoot itself was relaxed and enjoyable!
