Hi,
I'm Louie, your friendly Newborn and Wedding Photographer.
I'm a Cat Mum to a beautiful Bengal Boy called Kata, he moved himself in about three years ago and now he's the centre of our world. (I'll tell you more if you come to the studio for a shoot)
I've been married to Andy for 27 years and we have two grown up kids, Treacle and Ayrton. At the moment we are planning Treacle's Wedding (ahh, cue the happy tears!)
I can't function in the morning until I have had at least two cups of coffee, (has to be Nescafe, no milk or sugar)
I wear polka dots daily - literally. You may have seen a black Beetle with dots zooming around Ruislip, it was mine (of course) but it had to be scrapped but fear not, I have a white bug now that is in the process of being dotted up!
I've been running my photography business for over 20 years now.
In 2018 my husband Andy gave me the greatest gift of my life by building me my little studio in our garden. It's a calm cozy space perfect for newborn photography and somewhere I can go and be creative. I hand craft my own Newborn flower crowns for my sessions too, so if I use one in your session you'll know no-one else has one like it as they are one of a kind.
This was where I trained professionally for newborn photography by another award winning photographer, since then I have made sure my skills are up to date and that includes baby safety training and first aid courses too. (I'm also DBS checked). Your baby's safety is of the utmost importance to me.
Weddings were and always be, my first love, I adore being part of such emotional, fast paced, (and laid back) joy-filled days. I shot my first wedding 20 years ago and hundreds more since, people say they forget I'm there as I blend in with your Wedding guests looking for pockets of emotion and laughter. My couples also say I put them at ease when we do portraits, thats probably because I chat a lot and I pose couples naturally with a little bit of direction to get the best out of them.
I dont mind travelling for weddings, I love discovering new places, venues and people.
So, if you are here reading this and I sound like your kind of person pop me a message because I do love a chat.
