Claire Ansell lifestyle and branding photography

Claire is absolutely wonderful! As well as having the kindest heart she is an incredible photographer. I was a little anxious about our family shoot as two of our children are very young and one of them was born in 2020 and isnt used to strangers but Claire was so understanding, patient and had all the right tricks up her sleeve to get the best shots. She phoned us in advance to find out exactly what we wanted and to offer advice on location options and what to wear. The photos we received were absolutely beautiful and captured our personalities perfectly. I plan to use Claire every year to capture special memories of our little ones growing up.

I am so grateful to Claire for the amazing branding shoot I had done. As someone who is naturally camera shy, the shoot was such an enjoyable experience. Claire made me feel so comfortable, it was like hanging out with an old friend. She is extremely professional and conscientious. I didnt realise how much work goes into a branding photoshoot but Claire really took the time to get to know me and my business. I had lots of contact with her before the shoot where we produced lots of ideas together beforehand. Then during the shoot, I was amazed at the speed with which she works and her ability to find new ideas in the moment that I would never have thought of myself. Im so thrilled with the result and feel they really capture who I am and what I do. She is SO passionate about her work and Id recommend her to any women who wants gorgeous photos that will showcase their business.

We have had two lovely shoots with Claire at Bushy Park, and she managed to get fantastic photos of myself, my husband and my little boy - we have no other photos of us all looking at the camera! She's extremely patient and very good at putting everyone at ease in order to get some very relaxed and natural photos. She really makes the most of the surroundings, really capturing the time of year, we've had gorgeous springtime photos with bluebells and lovely autumnal photos full of falling leaves. The sessions were very enjoyable as Claire is so personable and lovely to chat to. We've had many compliments on the photos we've got up around our house. We will be returning for our next shoot soon as a family of four!

Such a lovely experience having a photo shoot with Claire in Bushey Park with my daughter. Having never had professional photos taken before, I was worried about my 19 month olds ability to stand still / follow direction / not have a complete toddler meltdown, but Claire was incredible at engaging her and keeping her entertained, all the while chasing perfect settings and finding the right light! The resulting pictures were natural, and beautiful - just what I had hoped for. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Claire - we cant wait to have another session!
