A LITTLE INTRODUCTION
I have spent the last 10 years working across all fields of photography. Since having my daughter I realised just how much I love babies and children and the challenge of photographing them.
My style outdoors is colourful and natural. Using natural light and a little off camera flash for outdoor photography. My studio portraiture is more styled with fine art back drops. Classic portraiture of children and adults with a modern twist.
Photography for me is not just a business it is a passion. I aim to create for you the best. That includes both in the photos I take and the products I offer. I spend a great deal of time sourcing the highest quality prints, the most luxurious presentation boxes and the most beautiful frames.
I am easy to get on with with a warm friendly nature. Down to earth and in no way stuffy. I have made many friends along the way from meeting mums in the local area.
I have been awarded Associate Level with the Master Photographers Association and The Societies of Photographers for my Newborn Photography work. This is one of the highest qualifications you can get for photography. I am proud to be one of the few newborn photographers in the UK with this level qualification for Newborn Photography. The Judges commented on the unique style of my images and my commitment to producing classy newborn photos of sheer quality. Associateship with the MPA is very difficult to achieve within the photographic profession. It takes a great deal of time, work and dedication to your art to reach this level.
I am a member of Banpas which specialises in Newborn Safety I am also CRB checked and hold an up to date Paediatric First Aid Certificate. You can rest assure your baby and children are in safe hands and you are working with a fully trained, professional, fully insured photographer.
My products I offer are of the highest quality. Of course you can go and get your own prints done but when you see the difference in quality of a professional print you will not believe your eyes. They almost glow with colour and and the clarity is world class. The folio boxes are made of walnut wood lined with a suede fabric with matching walnut wooden usb stick fitted beautifully in. They are the most luxurious out there. Your professional prints will be put into ivory mounts which are designed to fit perfectly into the folio box. You will receive your box in a matching gift bag.
I hope you will choose me when searching for a photographer in the Cotswolds and I know you will not be disappointed if you do. I allow the most time to capture the most treasurable photos of your baby and children that you will cherish for a lifetime.

I recently had a newborn photoshoot with Joanna. She was both warm and friendly, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the session. Joanna was amazing with handling our new baby and we knew she was in safe hands. Joanna has lots of beautifully hand made props and set ups ready to take lovely photos. Joanna is a fantastic photographer and managed to brilliantly capture a very precious moment of our lives, which we will treasure forever. I would definitely recommend Joanna!

We had a newborn photo session with Joanna and it was wonderful. Joanna was warm, welcoming and friendly. It felt like going to a friend's house. The studio was full of professional equipment and props. The photos are stunning! Joanna was amazing with the babies and our four year old (who was allowed to play and explore). She ensured our daughter felt included at every stage of the session and we knew our baby twins were in safe hands. Joanna provided plenty of time to take the photos, which allowed us all to feel relaxed and enjoy the session. We even got to see the photos and choose them before we left. The photos were edited and sent to us the following day. Highly recommend!!!! Thank you Joanna!

She is one of the best photographer in this part of the country

It was a delight to have my maternity photos done with Joanna! I bought the package that included hair and makeup, and she provided maternity dresses and silks, so I didn't have to worry about anything or bring anything for the photoshoot. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and excited about a pregnancy that had been particularly hard on me. The turnaround time for receiving the finished photos was also very fast, and I wasn't pressured for an upsell, which I greatly appreciated. I couldn't recommend her more!
K. Soneji
Had a wonderful experience with Joanna today! She put everyone at ease instantly. We went with our 3 year old and newborn and we have been left speechless with the photos! We absolutely adore them. She is a very talented lady and is amazing with children and newborns. Thank you!

We visited Joanna for a Photoshoot of our newborn baby girl. And I am over the moon with the pictures we’ve received!
Joanna is a lovely person, with a beautiful home. The room was kept at a warm temperature for are baby and there was overall a calm and peaceful vibe.
Joanna had patience, she took time and care with are baby to ensure we got the best results. Once we finished, the pictures were edited and sent over the same day. I will definitely be visiting Joanna again in future for all are baby’s photo shoots!
T. Hicks
I had the absolute pleasure of booking Joanna for my maternity photos. She was very patient and made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable during our shoot.
Joanna suggested poses that captured the beauty of pregnancy and she made sure every detail was perfect for the final images which were quickly provided to us following our photoshoot. Every photo was stunning and we have received so many compliments on how beautiful they are.
It is evident that photography is Joanna’s passion as it shows through her beautiful work. We cannot wait to come back for family photos with our newborn. Thank you Joanna for a memorable and positive experience, you are the best!

I visited Joanna for a newborn photoshoot and WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
Joanna was amazing with my little one, so gentle, calming and patient. Her studio is beautiful and comfortable with lots of space for all the different set-ups. Joanna asked beforehand for my preferred colours/themes and we were able to recreate my favourite looks.
As for the final photographs, I am in love. It is impossible to pick a favourite! The poses she achieved were lovely, the props used just beautiful, and the editing brilliant.
If you are looking for someone to capture a really special time in your little one's life I would 100% recommend Joanna!
Joanna, I can not thank you enough!

We had an utterly brilliant experience with Joanna, and would absolutely recommend her to any parents wishing to have a newborn photography shoot (or any of the other options for maternity or toddler photoshoots on her website).
Our baby was rather upset, and so the photoshoot took much longer than anticipated, but Joanna remained patient, helped soothe our little one, and persevered through lots of tears on his (and our) part! She was so gentle in helping to put them into different outfits and poses for the different set-ups, gave us brilliant advice on techniques to help settle them to sleep, and was really kind with us both. As new parents it is natural to worry that you are doing something wrong, but Joanna reassured us that we were doing a good job, and even now I think back to the advice she gave when we're having a tough day.
The studio is beautiful and comfortable for parents and babies alike, with lots of space for different set-ups which Joanna will put together based on your ideas and wishes. We were even able to incorporate some flowers from our garden, and my wedding veil into a few shots. The outfits available for the babies are just stunning and there are so many options, I almost wish we could have dressed our little one in these all the time!
As for the photographs, I am utterly in love. Joanna managed to capture our little one perfectly; their slight sassiness (even at such a young age), their smile, and their wonderous little gaze. The poses she achieved were lovely, the props used just beautiful, and the editing brilliant-down to a little suggestion of steam rising from a 'cup of tea'-adorable!
It was an absolutely brilliant experience made possible by an excellent photographer who is marvellously talented. We are about to book our next photoshoot with Joanna, and really excited to do it all over again.
If you are looking for someone able to capture a really special time in your little one's life do consider Joanna, I can't recommend her enough.

I'm in love with my baby photos, Joanna did an excellent job, positively surprising me, I strongly recommend her work!
M. Bhimji 14 September 2021
We had the best photoshoot experience with Joanna yesterday. Joanna made our 2 year old feel very comfortable during the shoot and kept her entertained with lots of toys during our breaks. The pictures we received were of outstanding quality and very professional. Absolutely in love with our family photos. This was a memorable experience and we are so glad we made the choice to have our photos taken by Joanna.
Joanna is a lovely and very talented lady! Would highly recommend her!

Cannot speak highly enough of the pictures Joanna took of our new daughter Sophie!! They are STUNNING!! Joanna’s studio is beautiful and welcoming and all her props are amazing. Joanna made us feel so relaxed, which is saying something for first time parents of a 4 week old! The quality of the editing is amazing, we know for sure we will be going back to Joanna in future to capture more memories of our daughter! Thanks again Joanna :)

Joanne makes every new mother feel relaxed, comfortable and special. She is confident and caring in her approach, we are so happy with the photos and really enjoyed the experience. We have now booked her for the christening.
G Williams 19 August 2021
Would really recommend Joanna's photography, for both baby and family shoots. Her home studio is lovely and relaxed, she talks through the shots you want and she only has one client a day so there isn't a rush to get the photos.
We've also had Joanna photograph our daughter at Westonbirt Arboretum as a toddler, the session was fun for us and our daughter and we were so pleased with the finished pictures.
J. Thompson 27 July 2021
We had our photoshoot for our newborn baby boy at 9 days old. Joanna made the whole day and experience thoroughly enjoyable, exciting and put us new parents at ease. The atmosphere at her studio was calm and soothing and was such a fun day out! This is before even seeing the breath taking photos that she was able to capture. I would highly recommended Joanna and if you want breath taking photos you need to book in straight away! Thank you again and we will be back for more! x

I will definitely be returning to joanna in the future for more photos.
Thank you Joanna for amazing photos and a lovely day.

We can't recommend Joanna enough. Her home studio was so well prepared for the shoot - warm, cozy, white noise playing and such a relaxed environment and all the props ready to go!
She had planned the session for our wants and did some sibling and family pictures too which we love.
Every picture is so well composed and we love them all, they are so beautiful.
Joanna is professional, warm, friendly, creative and above all always safe for your newborn when posing your baby.

Joanna took some incredible photos for us that we will treasure forever. We got lots of different poses, including a few family shots and they look amazing on the wall.

We traveled to Joanna for a photoshoot for my newborn baby girl from Oxford. I am a first time mum and I was rather anxious about what to expect and how I could cope with someone else holding her and moving her around so much. I was pleasantly pleased with the experience I had. Joanna was very welcoming, warm and experienced. She knew exactly what I was feeling and how to make the whole thing enjoyable for us whilst keeping my baby happy the whole time. The results I got were amazing. She put so much effort in to each prop and set up. Also made sure she got the best photo not rushing at any point. I would night recommend her services and I will definitely be using them again myself.

We had a lovely pregnancy photoshoot in March 2019. Joanna was really kind, professional and took breathtaking photos. We had photos taken in the studio and outside too. Even my partner told the photoshoot was fun and was much better than he expected. She finished the photos really quick and shared it with us. She made us so comfortable, so we had photos in a silk material nude taken.
I would go back to Joanna anytime if I would like gorgeous photos

I can't express how grateful I am to Joanna, she took so much time and effort preparing ideas for our maternity photo shoot. The final pictures completely blew me away, Joanna has such an eye for capturing the best poses and lighting and the photos came out absolutely stunning. I am so pleased with them and very happy we found such a talented photographer to capture this treasured time in our lives, she was so easy to get along with and we had great communication via email before the photo shoot and during the shoot she made me feel so comfortable, really genuinely lovely lady and super talented. I can't wait for our newborn photo shoot in January. Thanks Joanna for all your hard work, our family and friends have all commented on how outstanding your pictures are.
We would highly recommend Jo after having our newborn photo shoot with her this week. We loved every single idea she had planned for the session, the autumnal theme was perfect to celebrate our autumnal baby and it just happens to be my favourite season! Not only were her ideas amazing, her attention to detail perfect and the set ups stunning, but she was so patient, friendly and lovely to work with. She gave up her day for us and there was plenty of time for us to feed and comfort baby when needed with no pressure at all. The photos were also edited and sent to us extremely promptly after the season and are truly stunning. We will definitely be back for more photos when he gets a bit older.
Jo was absolutely fantastic with our newborn, Lily, during her photo shoot. Lily, being a typical newborn, didn’t want to sleep at the right times or be in any positions for photos. Jo worked with care and patience until she had the exact photos of Lily that she wanted. We couldn’t be happier with the end result! A perfect memory of our fast growing newborn that we can treasure! Thank you so much. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jo to anyone.

We had such a lovely afternoon with Jo and her daughter(who was a superstar chaperone.)
We loved our outdoor photo shoot with our boys, and Jo and Ruby were so easy to get along with, and fitted in with snacks and milk feeds. The singing and clapping and acting like crazy ladies was most definitely worth it as Jo captured our twin boy’s unique and different personalities in her photos. We’ve had numerous compliments about the images and are delighted we marked their 1st birthday with a personalised, and tailored shoot! We will definitely be back to Jo, if she’ll have us. We highly recommend Jo.

We had both a maternity and newborn shoot with Joanna and the photos are wonderful. Joanna has an instantly likeable personality which makes it easier to relax and get some natural shots. Having a child of her own means she is very understanding of their needs (and yours as a new parent!) and we have some lovely memories from the days spent with her as well as the photos to cherish forever! We would highly recommend her.

We had a fabulous day with Jo; the photos taken are fantastic, we're very pleased!
We wanted to capture our newborn but also to have some family photos with our first child. Jo suggested a combination of indoor photos where she had some fantastic newborn props and outdoor photos for the family shots in the beautiful setting of Westonbirt.
Jo's attention to detail and determination to get the perfect shot proved worth it; that and her timeless approach on the day provided a relaxed and enjoyable day for all the family.
We would and have already highly recommended Jo to all our friends and family xXx
