Who am I?

About me

Hi! I am so excited to meet you!!!! Welcome and thank you so much for visiting my work. I am Claire and I am the owner of Claire Butler Photography.

I get so much joy in capturing the love and excitement radiating from expectant mothers, as well as the undeniable affection that blossoms between you and your precious newborn. It's the little details from the adorable rolls of a newborn, their heartwarming smiles, those tiny, precious hands, and those oh-so-cute little feet – just to name a few of these treasured moments.

These moments are so precious and fleeting. I work extremely hard to offer my clients timeless heirloom pieces of art that they will be proud to hang on their walls.

Who Am I?

As a mom with two adorable children, a sweet daughter, and a charming son, I'm also just an everyday woman who's always on the go, juggling multiple tasks. I'm the mom who adores cuddling with newborns, making goofy sounds, and pulling silly faces to bring smiles to my toddlers' faces. Alongside being a devoted mom, I have a deep love for great coffee, chocolate, and, naturally, photography. I'm a dreamer and an introvert, and for me, photography serves as a wonderful escape from reality where I can let my creativity run wild. With my detail-oriented and perfectionist tendencies, I also relish the art of styling, ensuring every aspect is just right.

What led me to photography?

My journey with photography started long ago, but it wasn't until our first baby came into our lives that I truly embraced family photography, and I've been captivated by it ever since! Each step forward in my photographic journey has filled me with immense joy. Moreover, I understand just how quickly children grow and how fleeting those precious moments of early motherhood can be, which amplifies the significance of capturing those moments. What brings me the most fulfilment is the knowledge that I can create lasting memories for others, memories that will be cherished for a lifetime and passed down through generations. The trust and faith that people have in me, allowing me to capture their little ones, is something I deeply value. It brings me immense joy to weave your stories into timeless pictures.

My Priorities

Safety: Ensuring your baby's safety is my utmost concern. I have undertaken comprehensive training, including courses led by esteemed professionals in baby posing, to guarantee your little one's well-being throughout the photography session. Trust: Building trust is pivotal during our photo session. I'm here to alleviate any concerns, address your inquiries, and offer reassurance whenever necessary. Your confidence in me is essential, and I want you to feel secure in our collaboration. Fun: Photography sessions are always a delightful experience. They are moments filled with joy and laughter, where you can relax and revel in the spontaneity of this extraordinary journey. You're creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime, and I'm committed to making your time with me enjoyable and memorable!

" Booked the cake smash session with Claire and the result and experience were just perfect. She made us very comfortable. My little girl was shy to start with but warmed up to her very quickly. She definitely knows what she is doing and is able to capture beautiful photos. I received many compliments on the pictures. "
