Raves and Reviews from our clients

 
Emma and Toni were an absolute delight.

They made my entire family feel so comfortable and it really shows in the beautiful photos they captured. They are friendly and welcoming and the selection of props and wraps is really extensive so you can definitely get what you’re looking for in your photos. Everything was fast and easy, which while pregnant and then having a newborn makes things so simple.

I can’t thank them enough for the photos of my family. They are perfection. I highly recommend them 10/10!!

Emma is an amazing artist and a joy to work with. We have admired her portfolio for years and when it came time to have our family portraits done, there was no better choice.

We had so much fun during the shoot and our kids loved it! The photos blew us away and we have something precious to grace the walls of our home for years to come.

Thank you Emma! We look forward to seeing you again :)

We had our newborn’s photo session done by Emma abt 2 months ago and the whole experience was awesome. The best thing abt Emma’s photos is that it’s rustic & vintage inspired which never goes out of style and the photos look stunning. Emma and her husband Toni both get involved in the session and they are well experienced with kids as they have a toddler and a newborn themselves. Emma dressed the baby herself between sessions and the baby didn’t even cry. Prices are also very reasonable and I think you get more value with Emma than with other mainstream photographers. We had a bad experience with some other photographer when we had our Son’s photos taken 2.5 years ago as the lady photographer we used didn’t even know how to hold a baby properly and the photos were very average so we thought we’d spend a little more and get a real professional take the photos of our newborn girl this time and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Thank you Emma and Toni.

I used Emma and Toni for both my maternity and newborn photoshoot and I was so happy with the whole experience. My maternity shoot was delayed due to lockdowns and they were so accomodating with locking in a new date and so patient with me being heavily pregnant and needing multiple breaks during the shoot. I was so nervous before attending but they made me feel at ease and comfortable straight away. At my newborn shoot they worked really hard and spent a lot of time getting the shots needed as my baby was being really fussy! The turnaround time to receive the photos was quick and I absolutely love how they came out. Highly recommend this company

With such great confidence we highly recommend Emma. They are truly such a patient and talented duo. For both our children we asked Emma to conduct the new born and family photos and we are still so overjoyed and pleased with both sets. They are so understanding and considerate, making us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire experience. The attention to detail, amazing rage of colours and rustic props, unique and handmade items, incredible organisation, hygienic and careful, thorough information provided prior to the appointment as well as such prompt responses; all contributed to such wonderful experiences both times. We sincerely thank you and recommend you Emma Pender Photography.

Emma and Toni where incredible when photographing my 2 week old daughter, they are so gentle and patient with babies. Their creative skill and attention to detail was second to none and it really shows in the end product and the array of different textured and coloured props there is to choose from was amazing. I would highly recommend Emma Pender photography to others and would absolutely book her again in the future.

Emma and Toni were extremely professional and gentle with my newborn. They have a lot experience and it shows. The photographs turned out beautifully and the style was flawless. They captured my daughter so beautifully and even got a lovely picture of her smiling. I purchased the printing and frames which compliment the style perfectly. I highly recommend Emma and Toni.

Absolutely perfect whole experience. Emma and Toni were easy to work with, down to earth and so genuinely lovely. They easily helped to ease our nerves whilst having our photo taken. They magically could settle our little one and they were so willing to have our dog in the photos too. We’re grateful for what they have been able to capture for us and we highly recommend Emma Pender Photography.

I am so pleased we choose Emma to take photos of our first baby girl Alyaana. Emma and Tony work with such professionalism, patience, determination and sensitivity in helping our baby get to that dreamy state for the shoot. The outfits and set up of the shoot were so unique, beautiful and of high quality. I was impressed with the level of care & love they showed towards my lil girl. I would highly recommend Emma Pender photography to anyone who is after beautiful, natural, authentic and memorable photos. Thank you so much

We’ve had Emma photograph 2 of our babies and we were delighted with the finished photos. Emma and Toni were patient and professional. Their range of props and beautiful handmade headbands and bonnets make for gorgeous images. Highly recommend

I am so pleased we had Emma take photos of our first baby girl. My husband and I contacted Emma before she was born to enquire and Emma responded straight away and was very helpful with questions that I had. When we arrived for our baby’s photo session she was not in a sleepy mood, but that didn’t deter Emma and Tony and they set to work with such professionalism, patience, determination and sensitivity in helping our baby get to that dreamy state again for the shoot. We took away some baby settling techniques from Emma and Tony and tried it at home and it worked! The outfits and set up of the shoot were so varied, beautiful and of high quality. And even when we took so much time to settle the baby Emma still made time for us to do a family shoot as well. I would highly recommend Emma Pender photography to anyone who is after beautiful, natural, authentic and memorable photos of their little loved ones. Thank you so much, Emma and Tony!

My husband and I had photos of our first bubba and our new little family unit done with Emma and Tony. They were so extremely patient and lovely to us considering our little guy refused to go to sleep for a while. Because of their great patience and extreme talent we were overjoyed with the end product. We will cherish Emma’s artwork she created for us forever. I’d recommend her to everyone!

Emma is simply amazing! Her and her partner were brilliant with both our newborn and our two year old. Emma takes beautiful photos and makes you feel comfortable whilst doing so. All of our images have been tastefully edited and have exceeded mine and my partners expectations, we can’t wait until we can come back to do a sitter session
