Rob & Karen are an excellent team! They are very professional and worked very hard in getting my little ones beautiful pictures. They were very accommodating of all our requests and we recommend them highly. Karen is very well versed with getting the little one to pose and in selecting what suits the baby and Rob is an absolute artist in capturing images. Thank you both for the lovely pictures.

Rob and Karen were very friendly and made us and the kids feel at ease instantly. It was a great experience from start to finish and they were very flexible in arranging times that suited us and were quick to respond to any queries. The pictures turned out amazing and I can't wait for our next shoot with them. I'll highly recommend them.

We had a newborn shoot with Karen and Rob for our daughter back in 2019 and so when our son recently made his arrival we knew there would be no one better to do his shoot. They are such a brilliant team with Rob producing absolutely stunning photos and Karen being the baby whisperer! They are very professional and made the whole experience in their lovely studio very relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a newborn or toddler photoshoot. We will treasure our beautiful photos of both our children forever.

Honestly such an amazing experience! I have never wrote a review before but this deserves one. Our little one wasn’t the easiest to photograph (sorry) but the pictures came out perfect that I sobbed! Worth the money as the time and effort and professionalism that went into everything to make sure we was happy. See you again when he’s 1! Thank you!

We are delighted with the photos Rob and Karen have captured of our newborn. I was abit apprehensive that we would have a crying baby in the photos as he doesn't do well with being naked however Karen managed to change him countless times with no tears. They have truly mastered the art of working with newborns. Alot of effort goes into capturing the perfect image all within a relaxed friendly environment. We highly recommend Rob and Karen.Geraldine and Mike.

Rob and Karen were amazing and so professional. They were both really friendly and it was a pleasure to sit and watch them work. Karen was so good with our son and soothing him if he became unsettled whilst Rob took amazing photos we couldn’t of been happier. We got more photos than we expected which just topped off our amazing experience. I would highly recommend and we will be back for a family shoot soon.

Rob and Karen were extremely friendly, professional and welcoming. They had a lovely warm and cosy studio and made my husband and i feel so comfortable and at ease. They were amazing when working with our 8 day old daughter and we never felt rushed or pressured and were able to stop to feed/change her when she needed it. The entire shoot was babyled and we felt really comfortable throughout.The finished photos were so unbelievably stunning....we bought them all!!!!!We are so grateful for these precious memories that we have forever. I can't recommend them enough, and only wish we new them when we had our Son!Thank you so much xx

We were brought a newborn shoot as a gift from my grandparents. Rob and Karen are very welcoming and instantly put you at ease. The pictures that they have taken of my daughter are amazing and the variety of props and colours avaliable are outstanding. We can't wait to book another shoot soon!

I am a shy person so was nervous about having maternity photos taken, however I am so glad that I booked with Baby Shoots photography and now we have amazing photos to treasure forever. Rob and Karen made me and my partner feel very comfortable and welcome and are both very friendly and professional. They work well as a team and gave us ideas on how to pose and did an amazing job taking and editing the photos. They also had a lovely range of maternity gowns/outfits to choose from and do not put you under any pressure to buy. We look forward to coming back soon for our newborn shoot! If you are considering having maternity photos taken we would definitely recommend Baby Shoots photography!Update:We had our 'newborn' photoshoot (our baby was 3 months due to the coronavirus lockdown postponing it). At first I was worried that I had missed out on having newborn photos but after seeing the photo-shoot results I am actually really pleased that we had them when we did. We got some beautiful smiles and positions which we wouldn't have got as a newborn. Absolutely stunning and unique individual and family photos which we will treasure forever! Thank you so much!

We visited Baby Shoots in April 2021 with our 10 day old son for a New Born shoot and were very pleased with the entire Experience.Rob and Karen were very welcoming and made the whole experience really enjoyable.Our baby was handled expertly and gently and kept warm and happy whilst being dressed in different cute outfits.There are so many props and options and we were extremely happy with the pictures we received.Our only problem is we can’t decide which ones to put up as they’re all fantastic. A pretty good problem to have!We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend this company enough.

I was really impressed with the service we received. I was a little apprehensive on how the mini photo shoot would go with an active 1 year old and a shy 4 year old. The photographer engaged really well with my children and managed to capture some beautiful shots of them both.

You don't want to go anywhere else for your photos. Karen and Rob are just incredible. We had the best experience taking our little one for his newborn shoot. We were made to feel so welcome and we really enjoyed the experience. Karen was absolutely amazing with our little one, he was handled with such care and attention - Karen is literally the baby whisperer! Rob went above and beyond to produce the most beautiful pictures for us with a few surprises, honestly the time and effort it must have taken - you just don't get customer service like that anymore! We can't thank you both enough for creating the most amazing memories that we'll keep forever to look back on. Thank you.Charlotte and Brian x

A wonderful experience had capturing our gorgeous baby boy. Karen and Rob were so patient and professional as our little man was very alert for most of the day (he was 2 weeks old at the time so a bit older than most of the newborn shoots!), but they still managed to get all the shots they'd hoped for and for us, absolutely beautiful! The studio is such a lovely space to be in, very calm and relaxing and all the cute props they use, was so lovely to watch it all! They really know how to get the perfect picture! So thankful that we're were able to have this experience. Thank you sooooo much!

We had a wonderful experience for our new born baby shoot. This was an extremely professional shoot. For first time parents who were just 6 days post new arrival we arrived very sleep deprived and a little nervous what if baby cries and it just becomes a nightmare! We can’t believe how chilled the atmosphere was & we were able to completely relax & even have a moment to ourselves.Karen is a master at dressing, undressing & her attention to detail to get baby in the correct poses whilst he slept throughout was amazing!Robert took fantastic pictures that are priceless & we will treasure forever.For us it was just easy & slick throughout the shoot & with communications before & after. The slide show & music to view our images was actually a little emotional but lovely.We are very pleased & Satisfied customers.Thank you both x

Amazing service from Karen and Rob - I took my time searching around on the net before I booked baby shoots for our newborn pictures. I was really impressed with their standard of photos and loved all the props they used. Our shoot took around 4 hours when our baby was only a week old. Karen was so gentle and caring when handling our little girl, her safety and well-being was the main priority, and that put us new parents at ease! Time was taken between outfit changes, nothing was rushed and the studio was lovely and warm and our baby slept right through. Karen and rob make a fantastic team and the photos we received at the end are amazing, we will cherish them forever! There was no pressure from a sales perspective to purchase any products and I highly recommend booking with baby shoots, we will definitely be back for the 1 year cake smash! Thanks again Karen & Rob!

Had a fantastic experience with Rob and Karen and absolutely love the pictures of our little one. They made the morning so relaxed and enjoyable, and Karen was like the baby whisperer to a grizzly 3 week old!

Fantastic service and great quality! I had both maternity and newborn shoots booked in with the team and was highly impressed with how both went in terms of the professionalism and extent the team went to capture the exact images that I wanted. The photographer and image quality is amazing and the level of care when dealing with my newborn was exceptional. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend anybody to book baby shoots photography.

Rob and Karen were Fantastic! They are Baby whisperers.We couldn't have asked for anything more, quick turn around and the photos of our baby Florence are fantastic!Highly recommend, they are not the cheapest BUT it is definitely worthwhile paying a little bit more. We went for the heirlooms box and it's so nice to be able to change the photos around. Fab idea! Thanks again!!Gemma & Adam.

Amazing!I was a bit nervous taking my 2 boys and new baby along for photo shoot where they would have to sit still for a considerable amount of time, but both Robert and Karen made us all feel so comfortable and at home. The whole experiance was so lovely and a lot more relaxing then i thought it would be. Karen took care of everything for my little girl while i just sat back and watched in amazement as they both created some beautiful photos.Thank you so much Robert and Karen for giving our family these beautiful memories.

Rob and Karen are fantastic! Theyabre true professionals. They have patience and are real experts in their trade. The way Karen take scare with babies to get them into poses is unbelievable. We did our photo shoot for our 6 day old daughter and it was the best thing we did. They both made my husband and I so welcome and we did nothing but laugh and enjoy the morning with them.When we went to view the photos, I (mum), cried because they captured our daughter wonderfully and have given us photos to cherish forever.I’d highly recommend Rob and Karen, they are true professionals and will give you memories to last forever.Thank you Rob and Karen.

All together, a beautiful experience. I experienced excellent customer relations from the almost immediate response to my first enquiry email and in following 4 weeks till I had all my photos. The photos are absolutely beautiful, that was no surprise given the fantastic props, organised studio and the passion which Rob and Karen put into their work. Baby Shoots is highly recommended and I'll definitely be back.

Rob and Karen,We just wanted to write and say thank you for the amazing pregnancy photos you have taken for us. They are so beautiful, and exactly what we were hoping for. You have managed to capture exactly the way we feel about pregnancy, and we will treasure them forever. We also wanted to thank you for your professionalism and easy manner on the day of the photo shoot. Finally, thank you for the quality of the pictures you provided us with, it looks fantastic and very natural. They are already looking stunning on display in our home, and the response from our friends and family has been fantastic.

From the moment we came Rob and Karen made us feel very welcome and comfortable, they are very friendly and spent as much time as needed with us to create the best images. We received so many compliments already from our friends & family for the beautiful and professional pictures, we would highly recommend Baby Shoots Photography for your most important life events as they will help to keep the great memories. We are expecting our baby girl very soon and cannot wait to see Rob and Karen again for the new born photo shoot!

We Took our daughter to Rob and Karen when she was 5 days old for a baby photoshoot. I honestly cannot recommend Baby Shoots Photography highly enough! We were a little apprehensive taking our little girl to strangers at such a young age, however we need not have worried! Rob and Karen put us at ease as soon as we walked through the door and could not have been any more professional. They work so well together to create stunning photographs, whilst all the time putting the needs of the little on first, stopping for feeds etc. When we went to look at the finished photo's we were simply blown away by their work. Rob was brilliant, and patient, in helping us choose the photos! We purchased the photos on USB, a framed canvas and album. The quality of the album and canvas is simply stunning and friends and family have been really complimentary of them! We could not be any happier with our photos and will cherish them forever! We will definitely be using Rob and Karen again if we have any children in the future!

My husband and I have just had our first daughter and we decided we wanted to get some professional photos of her to capture the very precious early stage of her life that we could treasure. I came across Baby Shoots photography on google and was immediately impressed and booked in right away.From start to finish Rob and Karen were very friendly and welcoming and made us feel relaxed. I was so impressed how they managed to get Eva into the different positions without her even waking up! The attention to detail for each shot and the quality of the photos afterwards is what makes them stand out from the rest. So much so we brought all the photos! You won't be disappointed!!!

We were given a photo shoot with Baby Shoots as a gift from our family when our daughter was born.Rob & Karen have a very informative website which told us what we could do as parents to make the shoot go more smoothly which was very helpful.The studio is based at their home in Copthorne and it is fully equipped with lots of wonderful props for the photos.Karen was very calm and gentle with our daughter when putting her in poses for the photos- this was very important to us.We were thrilled when we reviewed the pictures- they were better than we could have imagined and we now have gorgeous photos of our daughter which we will cherish forever as well as beautiful pictures of us as a family - we will treasure them for years to come. Thank you Rob & Karen.

We took our 4day old Trai to a newborn shoot and we cannot be happier. From the moment we arrived Rob & Karen made us feel very welcome and at ease. The time and effort spent putting our little Trai in all the positions for each take was really amazing to watch, the attention to detail in each shot is what we feel like makes our photos unique. When the photos where ready we was invited back to view them and each and every photo was beyond our expectations. We purchased all photos on a usb and 10 prints which we haven't stopped showing friends and family. Over all the experience was truly magical and a day we will never forget. Can't wait to return for another shoot soon!

We've just been to baby shoots photography last week to select our photos which we are really happy with. The shooting was difficult because our daughter Louisa decided she didn't need any sleep. But Karen and Rob are very professional and patient they still made sure we had a great selection even if some poses weren't possible.

We took Jacob to baby shoots photography when he was 10 days old. Although he wasn't the easiest to photograph Rob and Karen were amazing with him and were very patient. Karen and Rob were very welcoming and were brilliant with Jacob. The photographs were amazing and we couldn't be happier. I will definitely be using their service for any other photography needs and recommending them to family and friends.

We recently visited Rob & Karen at Baby Shoots for our second newborn shoot (first in 2013) and again cannot fault the service provided to us throughout all steps of the shoot process from booking, to the photoshoot, to receiving our final images. Our baby was not the most willing of subjects to be photographed as he did not want to cooperate and sleep peacefully, but Rob and Karen were patient, helpful and professional and managed to achieve some stunning pictures which we will treasure in the same way we have with our first. You definitely get what you pay for with these kind of shoots and I am so glad we chose to return to Baby Shoots, not only for the perfect final images but for the care that goes into achieving them too. I would recommend to anyone looking for a way to perfectly capture their newborn with stunning photos that are complimented by all that see them! ×
