Lavern Washington Photography

Shelly was very good with our little boy despite him being a little fussy on the day and managed to take some really fantastic photos of him! She was very friendly, welcoming, patient, and explained everything that was happening whilst she was working. The session didn't feel rushed at all and she made sure to get all the positions/containers/colours that we wanted. Overall it was a really nice experience and we loved it! We would love to get more photos here and would highly recommend Shelly to anyone looking to get some amazing photos of their little ones! 😊

Absolutely love the photos of my little boy at his cake smash and splash! This is the second time we have been to Shelly as she also did my sons new born shoot!
I would 100% recommend!
Shelly is very professional and created a calm welcoming environment putting my 2 year old at ease! The studio was also lovely and warm!
I am very pleased with the photos and have had lovely compliments off family and friends. I will be looking out for the mini sessions throughout the year!

We had a cake smash and splash for my daughters first birthday last week. We both loved it. Shelley took her time to get everything set up so it was just right when we got there. There was no rush and it was a very nice experience for my daughter. Shelley also takes time to get the best shots, including ones where baby is holding cake and is smiling which can take some time.We can’t wait to see the photos when they are ready! Thank you again :-)

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Very professional photographer, Shelly always makes you feel very welcome, has so much patience with the kids and the end results are always worth the money. Shelly does an amazing job every time. I always recommend to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

Recently had the mini/newborn baby photoshoot done with Shelly and can honestly say it was a very good experience. Shelly was really good at settling my baby and was very nice and welcoming, had drinks and snacks available just a general nice lady to chat with. On receiving my photos I was more than happy they was even better than I’d imagined I 100% recommend. I can’t wait to do his 1st birthday cake smash with her already!

We saw Shelly last week for a Newborn shoot for our 5 day old after being recommended by friends.
The shoot was fantastic from start to finish, Shelly is so professional and handled our boy with such care we were able to relax and enjoy the experience. The finished photos were beyond our expectations and of amazing quality.
We will 100% be back in the future and would not hesitate to recommend.

I would definitely recommend! I had the newborn photoshoot and it was worth every penny! From the very beginning Shelly made us feel welcome and knew exactly what my daughter wanted and how to comfort her throughout. She kept us informed throughout on what she was doing next and why she was doing it that way, even when my daughter was a little stubborn and didn't like the position Shelly adapted it to suit her. The photos I have received are incredible and I will definitely be back in the future.

We purchased a newborn photoshoot for our little boy based on reviews and seeing photos on Facebook of the newborn shoots previously done for others.
Shelly on the day of the shoot was extremely friendly and welcoming. The studio is kitted out with tonnes of props and blankets to use and she handled our little boy with such care and patience, we were completely at ease.
Watching the shoot was wonderful and we couldn’t wait to see the finished photos. Today we did see them and they didn’t disappoint! They are absolutely stunning and the quality is brilliant.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

We had a sit & giggle shoot done for my daughter’s 1st birthday. We chose Shelly having previously meeting her at baby sensory. She was amazing! My little girl was such a grump on the day and you wouldn’t know it from looking at the photos! She worked so hard to get such lovely photos. We love them and will definitely be using her again in the future 😊 Thank you!

We took our 5 day old newborn for a photo shoot with Shelly and we weren’t disappointed! Shelly was very professional explaining everything she was doing and that there may be positions that our baby didn’t like and she wouldn’t force it. Our newborn was so relaxed throughout only having a little cry at the very end….I think Shelly is the baby whisperer!
The packages are reasonably priced and we ended up purchasing the top package as we couldn’t decide on any fewer photos as they were all so amazing! We would 100% recommended if you are looking to capture your newborn in the few couple
