Lydia Gray Photography

I couldn't recommend Lydia more highly. We are absolutely over the moon with our family shoot photos and can't wait to get them on the walls all over our house, it's taking a while to choose which ones though as they are all so so lovely! Lydia has really captured our little boys personality, and I am so glad we will always have these photos to treasure.Lydia was professional and responsive right from my initial inquiry, recommending locations that might suit what we were looking for and sharing galleries she had previously done so we could see her previous work at different locations. The location we chose was perfect and Lydia was able to suggest different spots for us to sit/play with our little boy whilst she snapped away. This means we've got a beautifully varied selection of photos, and every single one is just amazing. My husband is definitely not a fan of having photos taken, and specifically hates posing, so it was a relief that our shoot actually just felt like a lovely relaxed family trip out.Lydia was fantastic with our little boy, and came supplied with bubbles in case we needed some distraction/entertainment. She has also made him look incredibly amenable when actually he was definitely not playing ball on the day of our shoot!I was also really impressed by the turnaround time for our photos. Lydia gave us an idea of timeframes so we knew what to expect, and then delivered them ahead of schedule.Lydia is a dream to work with and I really hope we can have more joyful shoots with Lydia over the years to add to our family photo collection. I cannot thank you enough, Lydia!

Lydia did our newborn shoot. As soon as she came into our home, she made us feel relaxed. The whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish and the pictures are just beautiful. We will be booking in all future big events. Pictures that we will cherish for a life time!Thank you so much!

We’ve used Lydia twice for family photos; once with our toddler (who she immediately charmed!) and also with our newborn baby. Lydia is so talented at capturing really special moments in a very natural way. We would highly recommend her!

Lydia was our photographer for our wedding, and I could not recommend her enough. My husband and I are not confident at having our photos taken but Lydia worked with us and got the most amazing shots! From the pre-consultation to the day it's self Lydia was fab! She has such a calming manor and nothing is to much! Thank you Lydia xx

I am so thrilled with all of our family shots captured by Lydia at our recent photoshoot.As a mum of a toddler and a newborn, I very rarely like photos that have been taken of me, but I was so taken back by how beautifully Lydia captured us all together. Myself and my husband aren’t natural posers! But Lydia made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. She was also great with the kids and managed to keep my toddler entertained the whole time!Lydia is truly very talented at what she does and the photos are very thing I had hoped for. I’m so grateful to her for capturing these special times.I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

So pleased with our pictures from Lydia! She did an amazing job, our little boy was finding his photo shoot overwhelming at times but Lydia calmed him and got some brilliant natural shots. I would highly recommend her services as she put us all at ease when having a camera on us for the morning. Thank you again Lydia xx

Great family shoot with Lydia today. Pre shoot communications were good and very prompt.On the day she built a good rapport with us and kept the shoot natural, which is a skill considering it’s a photoshoot. Great interaction with our little one to get the all important smiles!Having seen the completed images and we were in love with them straight away! Great location, shots and good time had by all in the process!Thanks Lydia

Definitely recommend Lydia, we booked a maternity/family and a newborn shoot. Both were amazing and she is brilliant with kids. The photos are the best and something to treasure forever.

Lydia came to our house for a newborn shoot, we have been so happy with the results, the children instantly loved her (not always an easy task!) and she took some amazing photos. We will absolutely be using Lydia again when the children are older! Thank you!
