What Our Clients Say
We are so pleased with the unique service Little Gems provided. The photos are stunning and I will be recommending them to other expecting parents!
Natasha & James, YeovilJim and Sharon are really fantastic. They provide a really warm welcome and make everyone feel at home. We put aside the day for a newborn shoot and settled in for an amazing time. Just watching the shoot take place was a great experience.
The advice that they have about timing, props and setting was truly invaluable. Their expert knowledge meant that the photographs are amazing. They captured really priceless moments that show a little girl’s character. The viewing was special, leaving my wife in tears and me with welling up. There is no pressure selling and you are free to choose anything you like.
We could not be happier with the photos and completely recommend Jim and Sharon.
Stacy & Al, SomersetWe arrived nervous because we had never had a photo shoot done with any of our 3 boys and then Jim opens the door and more or less straight away we all felt relaxed and comfortable.
Jim was very professional and explained how the shoot would go and how he would handle Hugo, our baby boy.
It did feel strange leaving him in control of the baby but Jim knew exactly how to calm him, position him and he got the baby into beautiful poses.
It was a lovely afternoon and the photos were better than we even imagined.
We cannot recommend Jim & Sharon enough for having newborn & family photos taken and we are looking forward to having another shoot in the future.
Kirsty & Kyle, YeovilI picked Little Gems Photography for my newborn shoot as I’d seen their pictures on Facebook and liked them. At 10 days old I took Isla to see Jim who was so welcoming and put me at ease straight away; he was so good with Isla, keeping her warm and comfortable at all times. I’d like to thank Little Gems for giving me beautiful photos that I will treasure for ever, I’ll be recommending them to all of my friends ! Thank you Little Gems Photography!
Louise & Leon, ChardI would just like to thank Jim & Sharon for our amazing photos we have just received. We are very pleased with them and would recommend a newborn baby shoot anytime. First time we have done it and no regrets . They were completely professional. Thank you so much guys. Memories to treasure for a long time!!!
