With my relaxed approach to photography, I have a style which is natural yet creative capturing personalities. Since becoming a professional photographer in 2009, I have enjoyed recording special occasions in people's lives from pregnancy to newborn and weddings to family. I also photograph small businesses needing headshots and personal branding photography.

I recently merged my family photography brand of AliLulu Portraits over so if you have been redirected here, you are in the right place. If you are looking for a photographer in Nottingham or the East Midlands area, I would love to hear from you. Newborn photography captures your baby at their smallest and whilst you are experiencing an overwhelming (one-of-a-kind) fleeting moment in time.
Services
I allocate up to 3 hours for a session taking away the parent worry if your baby needs feeding or setting. Your baby is safely posed photos throughout the session as well as capturing the little yawns and expressions naturally displayed. Oh, and no gimmicky props which will date in years to come. During the shoot Alison was so patient and caring with our little boy allowing him to be completely comfortable and relaxed.
Your wedding photos should be true to you representing your day just the way you want to remember it. I believe wedding photos should speak for themselves by capturing personalities and emotions. After all, it's the people attending which make every wedding unique. Your photos actually made me re-live the day, which is fortunate as I don't really remember It.
If the thought of endless group photos and forced poses makes you queasy, you may just like my relaxed approach to photographing weddings. My wedding photography style is all about photographing real moments which tell a story of your wedding day. I don't follow trends and prefer to keep to a classic timeless style so you won't cringe in 10 years time.
Engagement photography sessions are to celebrate being engaged and/or to make you less nervous about being photographed on your wedding day. Although I photograph weddings in a predominantly documentary style, some couples like to break the ice in front of the camera before their big day.

If you are looking for somewhere different or out of the Nottingham and the East Midlands area, let's have a chat about possible locations for how you would like to record this time.The cost of an engagement shoot is 300 Monday to Friday or 350 weekends (subject to availability). This includes a one hour photo shoot in Nottingham or Derby and approximately 25+ digital images.
There's more to explore and interact with outdoors so children are less likely to get restless (especially young children). I'm very calm and approachable and have built up a reputation amongst families who return to me year on year for family photos. However, there's always a reason not to do it and before you know it another year has gone by.

Highly recommended! We booked Alison twice, a pregnancy and newborn session, and we’re looking forward to our daughter’s sitter session in Spring! Our whole experience with Alison was great, from customer service to being photographed to receiving our pictures! It’s a big thumbs up from me ☺️

We booked a pregnancy session with Alison and it was a wonderful experience. Alison always replied prompltly to my emails and questions and was also extremely flexible to reschedule our session due to the bad weather. During the session she made us feel super comfortable and gave us good advices for best results. She provided us with the picture shortly after the session and they were amazing, I was really impressed!
Would definitely recommend.

We booked for pregnancy shoot and had an excellent experience with Alison. Since I was heavily pregnant and getting tired often… she made me feel comfortable and ensured that we are taking breaks.
She is so talented, kind, and fun to work with. We had a wonderful experience and absolutely love all of the photos!
I highly recommend her xx

The newborn session went so smoothly, didn’t take long, Alison was so relaxed, professional and knew how to soothe and handle my baby and the photos were amazing i absolutely love them. I got to choose the photos two weeks after the session and received them immediately! So quick and convenient. I can’t recommend Alison enough

Thank you Alison for our beautiful photos of our daughter, we love them! You were very patient and professional when it came to the photo session for our little one. The final products were better than we expected and you captured her little character wonderfully! We would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking at getting a newborn photoshoot.

Wonderful experience shooting my brand images with Alison. She made me feel so at ease. She had researched my business before hand and found the perfect locations that tied in with my brand colours and ethos. She brilliantly directed the best shots for me and listened to my brief on what shots I was keen to get. Had a fantastic morning, felt more like a fun day out. Would highly recommend.

I am so happy I chose AliLulu portraits! I had newborn photos taken. Alison was so calm and gentle with my baby so much so my baby stayed asleep for most of the shoot! Alison is such a lovely and friendly person. Would definitely recommend and will be using in the future!
