We absolutely wish we could share even more of these - but of course if you'd like to have read through some more,
just head to our Facebook page and click on the 'Reviews' section - Thankyou!
What can we say! A huge thank you to both Chantelle and Barry for the amazing pictures of our two girls.
We booked a last minute newborn shoot after our friends recommended then and I couldn't believe our luck when we got in just before they went on holiday.
Chantelle and Barry have the patience of saints when it comes to newborns and getting them to sleep, then when they get them to sleep the magic happens.
Their studio is an Aladdins cave of props and accessories and a perfect setting for your little ones to feel comfortable.
From our initial enquiry message Chantelle was and is very friendly and provided us with all the information needed.
There are no hidden costs, the packages are as they are on the website.
The only think we are sad about is that we didn't know of them when our first little girl was born 7yrs ago.
We hope your business continues to do well and we will be recommending you to everyone we know.
THANK YOU.

Amazing experience for the second time with Chantelle and Barry, I call them the magician baby whisperer photographers!
They were so patient and amazing with both our newborn and our 3 year old,
capturing some Of the most beautiful photographs that we will truly treasure forever.
We look forward to returning in a year for a cake smash! Cannot recommend them enough!

I had a newborn shoot with sibling add on and it was absolutely fabulous!
Chantelle and Barry were so patient and kind.
The shoot lasted nearly 4 hours as my newborn was rather nosey and alert. But it didn't phase them, they worked their magic and I am so excited to see the finishing images!
The studio was amazing and the prop selection was incredible. So many choices!
I will definitely be highly recommending Poppy & Belle to my pregnant friends! And I will definitely be booking a cake smash session in the future

We booked a newborn shoot with Chantelle. I researched photographers in West Yorkshire, comparing portfolios and pricing before finally settling on shooting with Chantelle. I submitted an enquiry and right from the get go I found a no frills approach with a comprehensive explanation of exactly what was included in the price. After hearing many horror stories from people about hidden extras with other photographers and being told that most newborn shoots were gimmicky, I was initially a little apprehensive but Chantelle made us feel confident enough to invest in the premium package which offered great value.
On the day, we were running 10 minutes late but Chantelle still greeted us with a warm welcome and was really understanding about the delay. We entered in to the studio which i can only describe as a warm and inviting Aladdin’s cave of incredible photo props! There is an abundance of themes to choose from; we were spoilt for choice.
Both Barry and Chantelle have the patience of saints! Throughout our session, they made it clear the priority was to get the best shots they could not to rush and ‘get through’ a certain number of images in a fixed time period. This involved waiting for our newborn son to feed, settle and poop (multiple times) and for our eldest son to stop for lunch! The whole day ran seamlessly and I particularly liked the way in which Barry and Chantelle work together to include our older son without losing focus of the fact that it’s a newborn shoot. This meant a lot to us.
Chantelle stuck to timescales and within a week we were able to see a preview of some of the images taken via their Facebook page. Within 2 weeks we have received the portfolio of images to choose from. I am genuinely blown away by them. I’m usually camera shy and avoid all photos of myself but I’m so pleased to be able to have a selection of family photos that we can keep forever. The images are not over edited and over styled which is exactly what I wanted. I cannot recommend the photography services of Chantelle and Barry enough and we are already planning to come back for another session for our youngest son’s 1st birthday!

Well after our 4 hour session with our 9 day old baby girl all I can say is I can’t wait to see the pictures.
Chantelle and Barry were so friendly and welcoming.
The studio is lovely and the wide variety of props is outstanding.
They soothed her in between positions and we just had to sit back and relax. Watching them work their magic was amazing.
The patience and love they have for the job. We will 100% be recommending you to everyone! Thank you very much!

Over the moon with the beautiful photographs Chantelle & Barry created of our newborn baby
We didn’t know what to expect with this being our first baby but we were able to sit back, relax and watch them create the most amazing images that we can treasure forever!
They are so skilled at what they do and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting professional photographs of their children! We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you once again!

We visited Poppy & Belle recently for a Newborn baby and family shoot.
Both Chantelle and Barry were amazing with our little girl, so gentle when positioning her and amazingly patient when she wasn’t the most sleepy newborn!
I can not thank you both enough for your professionalism and kindness, you were so welcoming and chatty.
We received our images yesterday and we’re absolutely over the moon with them! They are truly stunning, we couldn’t have asked for anymore.
They capture such a special time, we will treasure them. Thank you again!

Today was my girls 1 year cake smash, I was initially very nervous as she is sometimes very shy and gets nervous around strangers,
Chantelle was absolutely fantastic was singing to my daughter, playing with her while taking beautiful pictures,
I had no reason to worry! So professional and lovely people, would 100% recommend!
