As a family photographer I specialise in Pregnancy, Newborns & Family Portraits. Newborn Photography is such a passion.  I adore these shoots so let me know when your little one is on its way as best time to capture them is within the first two weeks. I work either in my studio & offer at home shoots with a variety of props, blankets and baskets. As well as family photographs (which are often taken outdoors in a rural setting if possible) I do bespoke Lifestyle Business Shoots which covers website head shots to a complete appraisal of your business and self image.

Hey everyone, I would love you to join my first Virtual Wedding Fair via Instagram Stories on Sunday 17th May 10 – 12pm.

It costs £10 to join in and you can post ONE story during the two hours advertising your services.

Currently only suppliers, services and venues in the Herts, Beds and Bucks area can apply.

At the moment there will be no limit to types of services simply because it is brand new. This may change for future event.

Email claire@artbyclaire.com for a full FAQ and all the details .  I am so excited about doing this and hope it helps everyone feel like a small return to normal life and perhaps a fun way of generating a wider audience and even some future work at the same time!

Well this was the last wedding I did before lockdown at The Noke Mercure, St Albans which literally occured that night.  It was really quite surreal but the girls were great.  We had to make the best of the situation and we did whilst social distancing too.  It’s taken me a bit longer to post these as found life since lockdown been more difficult although it has had its beautiful moments too – anyway enjoy these two fab people – they are such a lovely couple.

Although all my weddings are currently postponed till next year (on the whole) I am still taking bookings for 2021 but this has meant that a lot of my dates for 2021 have gone so if interested in booking me do let me know.

In light of the Covid 19, I just wanted to talk about ways of staying positive and practical ways I can help. With more of us working at home than ever and the possibility of school closures this does actually offer up some possibilities too.

All done at arm’s length of course and in nature or over the phone!

Your assistance also helps small businesses like mine stay afloat during what is an incredibly difficult time too as every booking means so much and is hugely appreciated.

Even a purchase of a Gift Voucher (you choose the amount) would be extremely helpful and can be used at a later date so do bear it in mind and still makes a fab present and is valid for a whole year.

In the meantime if you are thinking of setting up a new business or a second line of income during this time and want  a fab set of portraits; or you find that the family is finally altogether for a bluebell/family portrait, or you want stock images for use on your social media account, because let’s face it you will be online more than you ever were, or you have time to finally work out how to use your camera and want to be outdoors, then  I am offering the following:

  1. Brand Identity Photography –Portraits – normally £250 – now £200 for one hour outdoor shoot. Great for setting up your own business even if you are not yet planning to launch it – do the ground work now while you are ‘working from home’
  2. Brand Identity Mentoring 1:1 sessions over the phone (or facetime if preferred) -normally £150 reduced to £100 for an hour.  A fantastic way to pick my brain and streamline your business with helpful tips and critique of your business.  Monday to Friday and evenings only.
  3. Use my ever growing Stock Images Library to aid your social media profile and keep you looking super cool. Images from £2.50 or discounts for multiple bundles. I’ve got some fab images you can use as overlays too.  Please let me know if there are specific images you need a shot of as I have my studio and can set up individual shoot requirements.  Now more than ever you need to keep a strong social media presence if only to reassure people you are still in business.  Don’t let that side of your business slide.
  4. Bluebell and family Portraits outdoors – bluebells blossom around mid to end April to mid to end May. Or any other outdoor family shoot session available and considered. A fab way to bring the family together albeit at a distance. Mini Session 30 minutes £100.
  5. Photography 1:1 mentoring – book a 1:1 outdoor mentoring session in the woods for someone going nuts being at home all day! £100 for an hour in the woods and half hour discussing how to edit your photos.

Stay safe everyone and do contact me if you have any upcoming shoots or anything else you would like to discuss.

Thank you Claire
