Helen Bartlett / Family Portraiture

Helen knows exactly how to tailor a shoot to fit the stage that a child is at and the result for me has been two sets of photos I shall treasure for ever.

01May

Helen has photographed my daughter twice, as a newborn and then again at about eighteen months: I couldn’t have been happier with the photos! Helen’s photos are wonderfully natural and really captured the character of my daughter. The shoots were really easy and my daughter had a great time (as did I). But Helen’s relaxed style didn’t stop the photos she took from being beautifully framed and balanced. She was very creative in suggesting what actions I could do with my daughter to give her the opportunity to get the best images possible. Nothing fazed Helen (when my wife pointed out an ugly rip in my shirt, Helen was unruffled and found ways to hide it). The photos would be gorgeous to look at even if I wasn’t looking with the biased eye of a father at his daughter.

Like all babies and toddlers, my daughter changes so quickly, so the photos from the two shoots are very different. I’m so glad that we had both photoshoots. Helen knows exactly how to tailor a shoot to fit the stage that a child is at and the result for me has been two sets of photos I shall treasure for ever.
