Hubby and I enlisted the help of Claire to get a nice family photograph of us and our 5 little ones. From the start of the process right through to the end Claire was friendly, understanding, and professional and made us all feel at ease. My last photo shoot before this one was on my wedding day and on that day I felt nervous and uncomfortable, but this couldn’t be more different to a photo shoot with Claire. It felt like a relaxing family morning in the park! Claire became part of the family for the day, chatting to us and the children throughout and making us all feel at ease. We had pre warned Claire that our youngest (2year old) is not compliant on the whole and he lived up to this on the day (!) but Claire worked brilliantly with it and amazingly still got plenty of beautiful photos.We thoroughly enjoyed the day and working with Claire , thanks Claire!

We had a great experience with Claire with our photo shoot at home. We wanted to capture a few family moments with our 7-month-old, and Claire did a fantastic job. She was very personable and tried to get our shy girl to feel more comfortable in front of the camera. She also sent an excellent guide on how to make the most of the session. We are very happy with the end result and highly recommend Claire.

I highly recommend Claire - like many, I’m not a natural at having my photo taken, but Claire made the experience fun, relaxing, quick and easy. Her attitude was professional but friendly and all aspects of her service were excellent. I asked for a quick turnaround and Claire absolutely delivered. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend byBALLARD.

I run the Spring Lane Baby and Toddler Group. We needed to find a new photographer to take pictures of the children and their families. I contacted Claire through a recommendation and I am so glad that I did. Claire is delightful, extremely easy going and a joy to work with. The pictures she produced were stunning, capturing moments that are truly precious. I thoroughly recommend her services. I have already booked her for another visit next year. Rosie Daniels

I couldn't have been more delighted with the photos that Claire took. She's a brilliant photographer and an absolute pleasure to deal with: she made the whole process relaxed and enjoyable. The pictures were exactly what I was looking for, yet also surpassed my expectations. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Claire at byBallard captured a special family event for us. The photos truly reflect what a lovely afternoon we all had! For a family who don’t enjoy having their photos taken, Claire did an excellent job and made us feel comfortable when taking various shots. We would highly recommend her!

Having pictures taken for me is always daunting, however Claire made me feel so at ease that I forgot all about it! And I found out I look and I am much happy with bright colours !!

I have used byBallard services a couple of times in the past. Always got pictures that surpassed my expectations. I don't usually like to have my pictures taken but Claire was superb at getting me at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend by Ballard to anyone looking to have a portrait wether is for a corporate purpose or just family memories

I had a very positive experience with Claire. She is so easy to work with and makes you feel entirely relaxed. I was so happy with how the photos turned out - she really is very skilled and i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her

We absolutely love our photos Claire took of our family and newborn baby. It was nice speaking with her before to understand the process since I had never done a newborn shoot before. Scheduling a date once I had the baby was easy. On the day, she was so relaxed and was great dealing with our moody 21 month old daughter! She also gave us some direction during the shoot which I really liked and appreciated. I think that helped us get so many great shots. In the end it was so hard to pick which photos we wanted to purchase because there were so many good pictures! I can’t wait to use Claire again once our family gets a bit older. Thank you so much Claire for capturing our family so well!
