AVOID. I Came after being bought a bump to baby gift from my mum which included 4 shoots and print, maternity, newborn, 6 month and one year. Only got as far as the maternity shoot. All Victoria was interested in from the get go was trying to get me to buy more images and packages and I felt very pressured at the viewing. A basic package is £200 which I just don’t have to spend and both me and my mum told her about ten times we only wanted one image that was paid for but she continued to push extra images £50 each and packages and said that other people always buy more making me feel really bad. We came away feeling really let down and what should have been an enjoyable experience had made us both upset. Afterwards I gave my honest feedback about my experience and my point was proven when Victoria said that I am not usually the “client type” she generally attracts, basically meaning that I am not someone who wants to spend extra money that I don’t have. I decided that I don’t want to continue to be made to feel that way and was incredibly insulted by the comment made so walked away with nothing and my mum has wasted her money and is upset that what should have been a lovely gift has turned out this way. Victoria offered to resolve this by giving me my one image as a digital copy which she pointed out is usually £75 and she feels this justifies the £99 my mum originally spent and the 3 other photo shoots that I won’t be doing , I declined this “kind” offer as in all honesty the image is only a reminder of a horrible experience.
Can anyone recommend a photographer who would do an outside photoshoot for a family of four please? Thank you

HI Katherine, I would be able to do an outdoor session with your family :-) https://www.facebook.com/victoriavarnamphotgraphy/ We may be able to use a lavender farm if they haven't harvested it yet x
I am looking first someone who does newborn photography. Does anyone have any recommendations of who I can contact? Thanks
