“When my little girl was born I really wanted to have many professional photos of her and her big brother as I could afford, so that I could make keepsakes of her first year. I knew of Lesley and after seeing her page decided to ask her to do a shoot. She did a growing up package which was just perfect for what I wanted. Knowing my son is shy of adults I was concerned that he may not be very cooperative and that it may prevent Lesley getting the shots she wanted. I needn’t have worried. Yes, Samuel was shy but Lesley was so patient and calm with him. She had so many jokes and tricks up her sleeve that she got smiles from him and managed to get him to pose without him even knowing it! She even waited till little baby Emma was fed so we could get a shot, which is one of my favourite photographs of all time. Her photograohs are beautiful and thoughtful – with different lighting and bright colours. She even made every effort to use any props that I brought along, so the photographs also have stories of the children’s lives in them. No more so than in Emma’s 1st birthday shoot which was at Narborough Hall gardens. Lesley had even gone to the effort of visiting the gardens before the day to find places for getting some really wonderful pictures of my two little munchkins. Thank you Lesley for our treasured images.”
