Charlie Summers Portraits

Absolutely incredible experience with Charlie! Me and my partner booked both the maternity and the newborn shoot with Charlie and both were fantastic. The studio is gorgeous, clothing options plentiful and flattering and the whole atmosphere was friendly, inviting warm and comfortable. Initially I was apprehensive as to whether 1 hour would be long enough for the maternity shoot but we had so many fantastic shots to choose from without the session feeling rushed in any way. The newborn shoot - what can I say?! Her ability to calm and pose newborns is really impressive! As a first time Mum, I should also mention that I felt totally at ease with her doing all the handling of our little one. The session felt really well paced and allowed ample time for feeds/changes and grumpy baby moments to pass - she has a wonderful knack with them. Charlie is efficient and professional, as well as being super relaxed - it felt like she was a friend, which really made for a lovely environment. Can't rave the experience enough! Thanks so much Charlie!

I would high recommend choosing Charlie as your family photographer. She has such a talent when it comes to working with children and encouraging them to be involved in the photos - I was so nervous my toddler would not want to be in any of the pictures but Charlie was able to use her charm to get her involved and captured such special family pictures. This is our second time using Charlie and we will definitely be back again! Thank you Charlie, you really are amazing!

We booked Charlie for our newborn photography shoot and I can not thank her enough. Charlie was so lovely and put my husband and I at ease. The studio is light and airy, yet homely and provides the perfect atmosphere for family photographs. Charlie was so amazing with our little boy and every aspect was thought of for all of our comfort throughout the shoot. We were beyond happy with our photos - so much so we ended up purchasing more as we couldn’t choose just 10. Would highly recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better newborn photoshoot experience! Charlie’s warmth, professionalism, and incredible talent is shown in every photo. She handled our baby with such care, and the final images are priceless memories we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend to any new parents!

We had the most amazing experience with Charlie. Originally came for maternity photos including our daughter, Charlie was incredible. Made us all feel so comfortable and relaxed, as a result our finished images blew us away. Of course we decided to book our newborn pictures with Charlie too! Again she was so attentive with us all, we left extremely happy. We cannot thank you enough for capturing our beautiful memories as a new family of 4. Xx

We recently had a family photoshoot with Charlie and it was such a lovely, calming environment! She made us all feel so relaxed and had everything you could need for a photoshoot. Not to mention how incredible our images turned out!

Wow! What can I say about Charlie and our experience!! We had a newborn family shoot at her studio to welcome the birth of our rainbow baby girl. I was extremely apprehensive as I was only 3 months postpartum, not feeling my best and not 100% sure if I wanted to be in any of the pictures… Charlie changed all of that. From the second we walked into the studio it was like we were old friends! Charlie genuinely seemed so excited to see us, and immediately made me feel like I was a million dollars! She took our baby and got her into her outfit so my husband and I could finish sorting our older boys (whilst drinking much needed coffees that were made for us) and she got straight to working her magic. My entire family felt so calm and relaxed in the studio (my younger son even asked if we could live there) and all my worries about how I looked melted away. Charlie knew the type of pictures I wanted from prior conversation and orchestrated everything perfectly to achieve them. She managed to keep our rowdy boys entertained and engaged in the shoot, all while helping me with adjusting my hair and outfit for the perfect pictures. Nothing seem too much. The results? Breathtaking!! I actually cried when I saw the pictures. She captured my family perfectly! I cannot thank you enough Charlie! You are phenomenal at what you do and I will absolutely treasure our pictures.

Charlie was absolutely amazing, she made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable! Being post partum you don’t feel the best but the photos don’t reflect it at all! Charlie looks after your baby throughout the shoot so that’s a weight off your mind! Will absolutely book another shoot with Charlie in the future! Cannot recommend her enough!

We had the most wonderful experience with Charlie. She photographed our family for our newborn session when our little one was just 11 days old, and she was absolutely amazing with her. She was so gentle and patient, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. We were also delighted that she welcomed our 15-year-old dog into the shoot, making the photos even more special. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and her studio is beautifully set up and so welcoming. The photos are stunning and truly ones we will cherish forever. Charlie is very talented at what she does. I highly recommend! Thank you, Charlie ☺️

We had such an amazing newborn photoshoot with Charlie and would 100% recommend! I only contacted Charlie after my daughter was born and her communication stood out to me, she gave me all of the information super quickly and was able to book us in the next week. Her studio was a serene space and Charlie was so professional knowing exactly how to capture the perfect shot. We are so delighted with the photos we got and will treasure them forever!
