Hi, I am Carley
I am a family photographer based in Laleham, near Staines upon Thames in Surrey.
I have always loved photography, and many (many) years ago I started my working life as a teenager developing photos in Boots minilab in Birmingham. This love of photos continued through my life, until more recently having my children. When of course I had plenty of opportunities, and some willing models, to practice my skills. I had finally found a career that would fit around my family and fulfil my creative flair.
I specialize in working with children and have two little girls of my own. Before taking up photography I was a primary school teacher working in Early Years for over 10 years. I have had extensive time working with children with additional needs and love that I can continue to work with children in a different way. My sessions are not posed, but fun! I want to see those natural smiles and spend our time together giggling.
I enjoy both outdoor and studio photography, and am lucky enough to have my own little creative space in my garden studio, as well as a whole host of beautiful locations right on the doorstep. You will see some of these as you explore my portfolio.
I pride myself on providing a quality, yet affordable way to capture special memories. Children are only little for such a short space of time. So what are you waiting for? Get in touch today and let me help you capture those special memories for you to treasure in times to come.

“I can't recommend Carley enough! I have come to several shoots, outdoor, themed (Christmas and Valentines) along with model updates and we love it every time we visit! She makes it so comfortable for us, patient and there's no pressure if my little one isn't an angel on the day. The quality of the pictures are amazing and I will continue to use her.”
