Hayley Cattell Photography

We had a newborn(ish) baby photoshoot with Hayley and I could not recommend her more highly. She was kind, knowledgeable, professional and a bona fide baby-whisperer. The pictures she took are so beautiful and we will treasure them forever. She was very patient with us while booking and on the day as well as making the day really calm and chill for us and baby. Absolutely phenomenal talent.

Simply outstanding! Hayley captured our newborn beautifully, from smiles to sleepy poses, she captured it all. We were so overwhelmed by the pictures which went far beyond our expectations. A special mention to Hayley for her wonderful approach in making us feel so welcome to her incredible studio space and going to great efforts in getting all the pictures we wanted. She has such a kind and gentle approach and goes to great lengths to ensure baby is settled, sleeping and beaming with smiles, she is simply a natural. Time never came into question to Hayley, there was no time limits or anything pressure of that kind. She took as long as needed to get all the pictures we wished for. Thankyou Hayley for a truly wonderful experience and for giving us the most incredible pictures of our baby which we will treasure forever.

I am so happy we chose Hayley to photograph our son, all her work is just beautiful. From first meeting Hayley she was very welcoming and she handled our son with such care and patience. Hayley’s passion for photography definitely shows and is reflected in her stunning work. I cannot thank Hayley enough for capturing the most precious moments of our sons first year and creating the most special memories which will be treasured for a lifetime. We have recently had a new addition to our family and we did not hesitate to have Hayley again to photograph our baby boy. I would highly recommend Hayley to anyone wanting beautiful and flawless photographs of their children.

Hayley did a new born session with some sibling and family photographs in August 2019. We selected Hayley after looking at her website. Compared to other photographers in the Sheffield/ Rotherham area, we liked the natural colours and baby poses used. Her studio is gorgeously presented and extremely comfortable. I don’t believe we would have captured the same quality or quantity of photographs had we selected a photographer that came to our home. I found Hayley to be extremely friendly, professional and kind, instantly putting our 3 year old at ease. In fact at the end of the day he didn’t want to leave her studio! We were really keen to capture some images of our two children together and Hayley was extremely patient with both our new born and 3 year old son. We felt that her time and patience yielded beautiful shots of our toddler’s personality. We haven’t yet seen the finished outcomes but I am sure we will treasure the photographs and they will make perfect family gifts. When communicating with Hayley, she is extremely responsive and provided all the information we required. Our photograph session was an excellent experience and we would highly recommend Hayley.

Hayley is a fantastic photographer and has produced beautiful photos for us over the years that we will cherish forever. Our first shoot with Hayley was actually a little different, as she photographed our then puppy Lottie when she was 3 months old! Hayley was more than happy to support my request and photographed some beautiful shots for us. As Lottie was our first baby, we even purchased some beautiful wall art with Hayley which is still in immaculate condition to this day. Hayley was so patient with us and took us through all the choices of frames and different wood we could choose from through the samples in her at beautiful at home studio. We are so pleased with these photographs and we still look back on them now with fond memories of those early days when our family just began. It wasn’t easy taking photos of a nervous puppy, but Hayley was perfect. We have then returned to Hayley for a newborn shoot when we welcomed our son, Ollie, in February of this year. We weren’t sure when was best to book in with Hayley to get the best shots of Ollie, but she provided us with lots of advice and we used her Instagram page as reference to see what other parents had gone for and for what kind of images of Ollie we would like and how alert/sleepy we wanted him to be for the photographs. We are so pleased with these timeless images that Hayley has captured for us and we often find ourselves starting at them in awe of our baby boy. We loved our viewing session and purchased images and a photo album from Hayley. Ollie is now 14 weeks old and we cannot wait to return to Hayley for his sitting up session at 6-8 months and his 12 month session and we plan to purchase more wall art following these sessions to truly capture our growing boy. We couldn’t recommend Hayley enough. Her style is beautiful and the images are timeless. She is beyond patient with the babies (both furry and none!) and has a natural ability with them that puts you at ease immediately. Both my partner and I nodded off while in her studio! Hayley has captured such a precious time in our lives for us and we will treasure these images forever. Hayley we appreciate your work more than we could ever put into words!
