Kind words
“Conscious that our four boys are growing up fast, we asked Vicki to take some photos which would capture our family at this moment. Teenage boys are not always easy to photograph and ours were a little apprehensive on the day, but Vicki was brilliant and put them at ease right away. The boys really enjoyed showing Vicki around their favourite spots in the garden, and were delighted that our dog could be included in some of the photos! Vicki was very relaxed and took the time to take several beautiful individual shots of each of our boys, as well as some really lovely natural family shots of us all. Thank you Vicki - we are absolutely delighted with all of our photos!!! “
“The thing about this family photo shoot is that we genuinely had fun. We look at ease, because we were. The girls are pretty generally comfortable having their photo taken, but I think it is a bit cringe for most adults, including Ryan and I. I think Ava and Thea will remember this walk, as even though we had Vicki taking photos, it didn’t feel like a wedding, for example, where you’re being ‘directed’.”
I loved taking family photographs for Becky Pink of Pinks Charming. We went for a wander from their back door and then back home for hot chocolates. To read more of what Becky thought of the experience click here.
"Vicki took some fantastic shots of my lovely little family 'which included me' and they were exactly what I hoped for and more. Well she delivered and more. As a family we are terrible at taking photographs generally and in particular, photographs of us all together. I explained all this to Vicki and she assured me that she could still capture a family photograph without being in our face and that is exactly what she did. We actually really enjoyed the experience and would happily have had her stay longer and take more photographs. She was friendly and relaxed and the photographs were brilliant, really capturing my children's personalities in particular. There were some lovely family shots but also lots of other photographs that I hadn't even noticed her take. We were really pleased with all the photographs that Vicki took and the experience itself and will definitely be asking Vicki to take more in the future and would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Vicki!"
"We contacted Vicki to take our family portrait because I had seen some of her work online and liked the relaxed nature of her photos but they way she could capture kids faces when in a photo was amazing. We were quite apprehensive about having our family portrait done as we weren't into having it done in a studio and we wanted it to be really relaxed, natural and be something we could have fun doing. Choosing the location was hard enough as we wanted something slightly different to being in the woods with the kids, Vicki was great at giving us a steer and asking questions that we never thought to ask and we finally came up with the perfect location for our family shoot, where we got married 11 years before. It felt like the right location to go back with our now 3 children and have some photos taken in the grounds.
Vicki was super professional, she asked us some questions before the shoot, what the kids names and ages were etc, so that she had some background on us before we meet. Vicki was easy to get along with, she made the shoot really relaxed and what I loved the most was her engagement with the kids. She asked them such lovely questions and spoke to them in such a wonderful way that they responded so well to her when she was taking photos. We had such a great time at our family shoot, we will definitely be doing it again sometime soon as they are great memories to treasure. Once we received the photos we have shared them with family and friends and we couldn't be happier with the result. Amazing natural photos that have made great gifts for our family this Christmas. Everyone we have shown the photos too have said how wonderful they are and how they would love to book Vicki for their family shoot too!"
"Vicki photographed our family at a difficult time in our lives. My husband had just been diagnosed with lymphoma and we wanted some family photographs before he began 7 cycles of chemotherapy. Vicki came with us on our favourite walk and we had a lovely evening. Vicki was amazing; she helped us to relax and to have fun and we now have a beautiful set of photographs that we treasure."
