Kind Words

We booked Zoe quite last minute for a newborn photoshoot, so I was already so grateful that she fit us in.

Right from our initial enquiry, Zoe was attentive and informative via email. Zoe responded quickly to queries and was so kind checking in on my due date and beyond to see how I was.

Zoe was then very flexible with getting our photoshoot date confirmed once our daughter arrived, which was super helpful as those early weeks are quite unpredictable!

On the day of our shoot, we arrived at Zoe’s beautiful studio, which was easy to find and park at (essential with a newborn).

Zoe was warm and welcoming. The photoshoot was not rushed and as a result our daughter was calm, settled and it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. There was plenty of time to feed and cuddle her when she needed it, everything was done at our daughter’s pace.

Zoe was also lovely company so the whole session was easy, and well worth leaving the house for in those early weeks!

We went back a week later to preview our images, and again Zoe was so warm and welcoming. The images were all amazing, it was so hard to choose the ones we wanted and of course ended up getting extra on top of our initial package!

We were then sent our final images the following week (with one sent quicker on day we chose our images so we could order thank you cards, which was very thoughtful of Zoe to offer).

I would absolutely recommend Zoe for your newborn or other type of photoshoot , she has perfectly captured our daughter in her first few weeks and the photos will be cherished forever!

Thank you Zoe! Xxx

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our maternity and newborn photos. From the very beginning, Zoe took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted, while also offering her own ideas and advice when we weren’t sure what would work best.

As first-time parents, her guidance was incredibly helpful and made us feel completely at ease throughout both shoots.

Both the maternity and newborn sessions were relaxed, enjoyable and never felt rushed. She was so patient and gentle with our newborn, creating such a calm environment that made the whole experience even more special.

When we received both galleries, we were absolutely blown away. We know these are memories we’ll treasure forever. Choosing our favourites was by far the hardest part because every photo is so beautiful!

We can’t thank Zoe from Zoe Parkes Photography enough for capturing these precious moments so perfectly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient and genuinely passionate about what she does.

We had the most wonderful experience with Zoe for our newborn photoshoot. The studio was so calm and relaxing, which made the whole session feel really comfortable and enjoyable.

Zoe was amazing with our daughter—she was so gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced. She always put her needs first, happily pausing for bottle feeds, nappy changes, and cuddles without ever making us feel rushed.

The viewing session was absolutely beautiful and honestly brought tears to our eyes! Zoe captured so many stunning images that it was incredibly difficult to choose our favourites. She was so patient with us while we made our decisions, which we really appreciated.

We couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and will definitely be booking another shoot in the future. Highly recommend!

I was recommended to Zoe by a friend who had been to a newborn shoot with her. My baby was 6 weeks old at the time of the photoshoot, so a little more awake and I was unsure what to expect; but wow Zoe was just amazing, she’s an absolute natural with babies and instantly she made us both feel so comfortable and at ease, there was plenty of time for cuddles, feeding and outfit changes.

She is in a lovely studio that is cosy and warm, with parking available outside.
The photos have come out beautifully and I’m so happy to have these memories. I can’t recommend Zoe enough and will definitely return to her in the future!

We had the most wonderful experience with our newborn photoshoot, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, Zoe was warm, patient, and incredibly professional, which immediately put us at ease.

She handled our baby with such care and gentleness, taking the time to ensure our little one was comfortable and settled throughout the session. Nothing ever felt rushed, her calm approach made the whole experience enjoyable rather than stressful.

The attention to detail was amazing—from the beautiful setup and soft, natural styling to the way she captured those tine features. Every photo feels so authentic and full of emotion, and we’ll treasure them forever.

Communication was excellent throughout, and the final images were delivered promptly and exceeded all expectations.

If you’re looking for someone to capture your newborn moments, I truly can’t recommend Zoe enough.

Thank you for giving us memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

After an initial cake smash photoshoot with Zoe she has become our regular family photographer for birthday shoots and extra fun shoots. It’s always such a fun experiences, completely stress free and has become a fun experience for our son too. Our son loves Zoe, she is a natural with little ones, which adds to the experience. The results are always perfect and create the best memories. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Zoe made our newborn photoshoot experience so memorable. Billy was only 2 weeks old, and as a new Mom – taking him out of the house can be an overwhelming experience! But Zoe made us feel comfortable and at home, as well as being so warm and natural with Billy. Our pictures also turned out so beautiful, and we are so pleased with them. They’re exactly what we were hoping for. Zoe encourages you to be in the photos with your newborn, which I’m so glad she did! The memory of those photos will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for the perfect newborn photoshoot, Zoe is the one! Thank you Zoe xxx

I made the decision last minute to get new born photos after seeing Zoe’s work on Instagram. We were so lucky with Zoe, she was so accommodating and found time over the busy Christmas period to fit us in. The photos are beautiful, and I’m forever grateful for them. We also booked onto the sitter and one year photos as we loved the photos that much.

We were recommended Zoe by our friends, and we are so glad they recommended her – we absolutely loved our Newborn/Family photoshoot! Zoe was professional, caring and just so lovely, she made us feel totally at ease during the shoot and was absolutely brilliant with our little boy. We were extremely pleased with our photos and found it so difficult to choose as we loved them all! Thank you Zoe!

We had a fab experience with Zoe. We had to rearrange a couple of times due to baby being poorly when born, Zoe was very accommodating and understanding. Zoe was so good with our little one, he was so comfortable and chilled throughout. We are over the moon with our photos and will definitely use Zoe again.

We have had a number of shoots with Beau Photography, and most recently had a bump shoot and also a newborn one for our little girl. Zoe is so talented at what she does and has a real passion for capturing the best photographs. For the bump shoot Zoe made us feel so relaxed and comfortable and with the newborn shoot Zoe was so patient and creative. I would highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a photographer. Thank you so much Beau Photography!

Zoe has beautifully captured those precious first few weeks of our baby girl with her excellent photography skills. We were really pleased with our photos and the service Zoe offered. Even my husband who is not a fan of the camera at all was put at ease and Zoe Is always friendly and welcoming. Thanks very much!

Very happy with Beau-Photography! Will definitely be coming again and would 100% recommend to friends and family 🙂

Zoe did a beautiful Christmas theme for my 3 month old baby. She was very professional,patient and just lovely to be around. Brilliant job, my Christmas presents were all sorted as Zoe got me in short notice. Very welcoming, lovely lady, beautiful photos! Definitely recommend to anyone! I shall be back again soon! Thanks Zoe!!

Cannot thank zoe enough for her fantastic work,we were looking for some natural family photo’s and zoe understood exactly what we were after.we had a lovely walk around Lickey hills and zoe took some amazing photos. I was so pleased with the photos considering none of us particularly like having our picture taken. Infact I loved so many of the pictures I couldn’t pick one or two so we ended up with a gorgeous framed montage of 9 photographs. Cannot recommend zoe enough xx

I have been to Zoe for both a large family photo shoot, and a photo shoot for just my two young sons. Zoe is very professional, but made us all feel at ease. Her studio is well set up, and she is very patient and easy to work with. The final photos from both shoots were exactly what we wanted – thank you so much Zoe!
