Thankyou to Phil and Vicky for having us back a second time. Our first newborn shoot was so lovely with super cute pictures, we didn't consider going anywhere else for our second.
They are a lovely couple who made us all feel welcome and Vicky worked extremely hard to get our 19 month old smiling and looking her way! Whilst the baby was very happy being handled, changed and posed.
Would recommend them to anyone for newborn/family photos, we have captured the best memories with them!

We had the most wonderful experience with Phil and Vicki at Phillip Charles Photography for our newborn photoshoot. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome and completely at ease. They were so kind, friendly, and patient, and they took such amazing care of our little girl, we instantly felt she was in safe hands.
The studio had such a lovely, calm atmosphere, and we were even able to sit back, relax, and enjoy a cuppa and some biscuits while they worked their magic. It was such a thoughtful touch and a real treat for us as new parents!
The photos are absolutely stunning, more beautiful than we could have imagined with the handcrafted outfits, and theyve captured memories well cherish forever. We honestly cant thank Phil and Vicki enough for making the whole experience so special.

A huge thank you to Vicky & Phil for such a wonderful newborn photoshoot. They made the whole experience very memorable and relaxing. They accommodated our needs from start to finish and learnt lots of little tips and tricks from them as first time parents. We couldn't recommend this business more :)

Thankyou to Phil and Vicky for welcoming us back for a second time. The photoshoot was an amazing experience and did not disappoint.
They are a wonderful couple and made our 3 year old feel at ease to create some lovely sibling/family photos. Our newborn was extremely relaxed in Vickys arms when changing outfits and being put into different positions. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of having a newborn photo shoot.
Thank you again for giving us memories to treasure

Just want to give a massive thank you to Phil and Vicky at Philip Charles Photography.
We were lucky enough to win a newborn photoshoot and from the moment we booked, they were so helpful, especially when our daughter was born early and we had to rearrange. Our pictures are everything we wanted...would highly recommend to anyone!

We had our photo taken by Phil and Vicky and cannot describe how much we love them. The photo session was amazing and they really settled us a first time parents whilst also treating us to some tricks on how to calm a newborn. They kept us updated throughout the whole process with how our photos were. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.

We had a fab session with Vicky & Phil and I cannot thank them enough for the wonderful photos they captured. From booking through to collection, everything was easy and Vicky & Phil were so helpful.
The session was calm and relaxed, we had no doubts at all that our baby girl was in good hands. We felt so welcome from the second we stepped in the door and loved just watching them both work together to make sure she was comfy and safe as they snapped away. The handmade outfits added an extra special touch to the session too. Our collage now takes pride of place in our living room!
Thank you both for capturing such gorgeous photos!

From the moment we met Vicky from Philip Charles Photography, we were impressed with her standard of work, enthusiasm, easy-going manner and passion for what she does. Throughout our experience Vicky was on hand to offer advice on the best shots both indoors and outdoors including contingency shots should the weather be unkind as we married in October 2021. However, these were not needed as our weather was truly amazing and Vicky was able to take all the shots she had planned. Our wedding party had nothing but praise for Vicky as her approachable and easy manner showed through when she was taking our pictures. I think her passion and standard of work absolutely shows in our pictures and she captured the essence of our wedding, relaxed, intimate and gloriously happy. We would happily recommend Vicky to any couple getting married. Thank you again Vicky.

I have just received my photos from Phil and Vicky and I am delighted with the final outcome. From the arrangement of the shoot to the shoot itself and the follow-up, Phil and Vicky were friendly, welcoming, and professional.
Their photos were all incredible, making it very difficult to select my favorites. I would definitely recommend them to others, as my experience was highly positive.

About Us
read moreWe are a truly family run business, Phil the and Vicky will take you through the whole process and by the end hope you'll consider us more as friends than photographers. Our mums and children also help out when things get busy, you'll see the kids popping up in a lot of promotional videos and photographs. It's hard to think that I started out on this crazy journey over 22 years ago! I first got my hands on a camera as a teenager and fell in love with taking photographs. Ok so it took about 15 years, another career and a redundancy to put me as a full time photographer but here I am a studio owner for 10 years and I still love taking photographs!
Why we think spending time with
read moreThere is a lot that can be said for spending time with your family. However, despite knowing that family time is good for us, we still seem to find it a struggle to make the time for those closest to us. Many of us will share things on social media, tag each other on our posts and like our pictures, but that is the most that we will do together as a family. We think that this is a real shame, which is why we have created our family photography sessions. A chance to bring the kids, mum & dad and grandparents together, if even for a few hours to take some pictures.

Whilst you are not going to be expected to dance around and stand on your head, there is a good chance that your photographer will ask you to stand, lie down, crouch or sit on the floor.
