I've been a professional photographer since 2003, and have had well over 1000 happy customers, many new customers come to me via referrals and recommendations. I pride myself on the quality of my work and on my friendly customer service. I'm originally from London's East End where I grew up in the 50's and 60's.
As well as general photography tips and tricks, my 'sister' site www.becomeabetterphotographer.co.uk contains two photography courses, with around 70 video tutorials and nearly 8 hours of great content. These photography tips deal with a wide range of subjects, and surprisingly, some of the more powerful tips are completely non-technical in nature.
My relaxed and fun location shoots are ideal for families who prefer the great outdoors to photographic studios; children especially feel more at ease running around and playing rather than posing. My location preference is to go to a local park in the Leighton Buzzard area, however I'm always open to suggestions and you may prefer some other location, perhaps your own home or garden.
My relaxed and fun studio shoots are ideal for families who prefer the clean modern look of a photographic studio; the studio is also a more suitable environment for babies as it's easier to photograph them with a clean background rather than being held by the parents etc. Why settle for just a few prints, when you can have a great collection of images that you can use in any way you wish, maybe make a photo album, or choose a few to hang on your wall?Receive a fabulous complimentary print, up to 20'' x 16'' in size.
The cost varies depending on the number of people, as more people require more time. But this does give me the opportunity to photograph individuals and the various family groups, which means you receive more photos. Most professional photography studios offer a photo session, usually as a promotion, at a low cost of around 25-50.

We had our family photo shoot in Pages Park in Leighton Buzzard, as recommended by Bernie (when we had suggested to him that we wanted a natural setting). The park had very interesting backdrops including buildings and the most beautiful rows of trees, which all added interesting perspectives to the shots.
Bernie took a wide range of photos of us in standing, sitting and walking pose, which really made for an eclectic collection.
We adore the photos and we will be getting a huge print professionally framed! Bernie had made our 10 month old Daughter, Delilah, smile and wave, which we were delighted with, as it really captured her cheeky character at this stage.
Bernie provides a first class photography service and we will definitely be revisiting for future family photo shoots. Thanks Bernie!

We had so many lovely photos, it really made it hard to choose which one to put on the wall. We asked to have the photos taken in our favourite park and Bernie did a fantastic job of finding lots of locations with different backgrounds.
Bernie is such a lovely guy and we had so much fun that morning! Great value for money. We will be coming back for more!

Extremely pleased with the headshots Bernie took for me. Bernie took his time to go through a variety of different backdrops and poses, and made me feel very relaxed and at ease. He gave me the opportunity to view the shots he had taken so far as we went along, so I could see how they were coming out, which was very helpful. The final photos and helpful edits in different aspect ratios and resolutions made it easy to quickly get the shots out on my different profiles and websites.
I would definitely recommend Bernie’s services to anyone looking for some great, reasonably priced, and very professional photos. I will certainly be coming back if I need more photos in the future.

We just wanted to say again how pleased we are with our pictures – we feel
they capture Emma and our absolute delight in her, beautifully ! Overall the whole ‘set’ look so relaxed and happy – they form part of a
lovely record of this very special summer …
I have been showing them to various people who of course think they are
lovely – especially of Emma.

We had a lovely and relaxed photo session in our local park with Bernie. He handled our two children (2 and 5 years old) excellently and managed to capture their personalities really well. The photos themselves were great, with some very cool action shots – and as we got all the digital copies (for a much better price than is typical from family photo studios) we were able to use them in lots of great ways.
I’d fully recommend Bernie as great to work with and really good value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our location photo session with Bernie. He made us feel totally at ease and it was very relaxed (just what you want with a young baby). The CD arrived quickly and we absolutely loved the photos. It is wonderful to have several special ones of our son as well as some lovely ones of the three of us. It truly was excellent value for money as well.
