Hi, I'm Chantelle
I am a Mummy to a beautiful little girl, who has made me realise just how important pictures are. Life gets so crazy, especially when you're raising little ones, which makes it so easy to forget about taking pictures. Its not until you sit and look back at their newborn pictures that you realise just how much they've grown and changed! There is something so special about being able to freeze a perfect moment, to look back on and cherish forever.
Photos have always been something I've loved, especially flicking through old albums from my childhood. They take you straight back to the moment they were taken and make you remember how you felt, the smells, the atmosphere, just make you all warm and fuzzy inside.
I first started taking pictures on an Iphone 3 (I know, how old?!) of random things on walks, then I was gifted a bridge camera and then my very first DSLR. This was my first 'big' camera and got me through my two years at college studying photography there! I then saved and saved to buy the Canon that I use today, my very first big, adult purchase. I started off doing lots of editorial photoshoots and thought that I wanted to go into the fashion photography industry but it wasn't until after I had left college that I dipped my toes into newborn photography. After that first session I knew that it was what I wanted to do, I just felt so content and happy photographing little ones. I have worked hard with lots of research and trial and error over the last 7 ish years, to get where I am today. My goal is to always capture the candid moments between you and your family, the emotions, the smiles, the tears, the tiny little details, for you to love forever.
Happy, loving and warm memories are what I always associate with pictures and this is what I want to make sure you all feel when looking back a your pictures! Nothing but smiles, some happy tears and memories that you can swoon over for years to come.
I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and feel so honoured to be trusted to capture these special memories for you all!
