Kind words from kind clients
From the first communication through to receiving our beautiful moments on USB in the mail, working with Chantelle was an absolute pleasure for myself and my fiancé. She made us so confident we had chosen the right photographer to capture our special moment in time prior to having our photos taken and this decision was cemented on the day of our shoot and when receiving our images. We knew we wanted candid and loving photos which is exactly what we received. On the day of the shoot Chantelle’s knowledge of the best places to go and what to do was seamless, the time flew by. We honestly cannot wait to work with Chantelle again when our baby arrives and we already know these images will perfectly capture yet another of our special moments in time. Thank you Chantelle, we shall fondly remember these moments through your images not only now but also into the future.

Krystal
Chantelle is such a gorgeous person and made our family photo shoot so much fun. Getting my three kids to cooperate for photos is near impossible, but Chantelle had them engaged straight away. Her beautiful nature made them feel relaxed and happy and she captured their personalities perfectly. Would highly recommend Chantelle!
Jessica
Chantelle is so patient and professional when dealing with children. Getting them to participate with her directions was effortless, which made the whole experience such a joy! We will forever look back on these gorgeous photos and be thankful we spent the time to get them done!

Chantelle did an amazing job of our maternity photography - we felt completely comfortable and she made it an enjoyable experience and our images came very quickly. I’m a photographer myself so to trust someone to take my maternity photos was a huge deal to myself and my partner. I couldn’t recommend Chantelle enough! Thank you again
Jessi
From the first point of contact Chantelle’s positive and upbeat professionalism really hit home, making my little family feel super comfortable. Our photos really show this through her natural ability to capture absolutely every bit of happiness in one shot. Will be a repeat client that’s for sure

Chantelle’s photography is absolutely amazing, she is such a talented lady who delivers above and beyond your expectation.

Karen
Had such a fantastic photo shoot with Chantelle yesterday. She was great with my 2 young kids. Have done a few prof photos shoots before and this was by far the best experience. Beautiful photos and not stressful! Thanks so much Chantelle x

Courtney
So in love with my photos! Thank you so much you are so kind and made my girls feel so comfortable and happy and it shows in the photos! Couldn’t be happier
Carly
So happy with the experience I had with Chantelle. She was very accommodating and fit me in last minute for my newborn shoot. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable at her home studio on my first ever outing with my one week old. I feel like she went above and beyond and she did such a beautiful job on the photos. Everyone I’ve shown has commented on how natural they are. I’m struggling to pick my favourites. Can not recommend her enough
Claire
We had a fantastic photo shoot with Chantelle. Her ability to interact with the kids, made the shoot go with such ease. Thank-you so much Chantelle, the photos are just beautiful.
Shannon
Thank you so much Chantelle These photos you captured are amazing I love them so much! You are so talented they are just beautiful thank you.
Via
Thank you Chantelle for providing us with the most priceless images of our family! You were an absolute natural with the kids and made us all feel at ease in front of the camera. I currently have them displayed all over the house and have gifted the gorgeous images to the doting grandparents as well. Such a special gift to pass onto our loved ones, that will be treasured for years to come.
Caitlin
In this day and age we have a tendency to forget the value of professional photography. Chantelle recently photographed my 6 month old daughter and the images and moments she captured were simply perfect, precious and meaningful to not only myself but to our family and friends. her work truly speaks for itself but nonetheless she deserves to be praised endlessly for her work ethic and natural talent.
Ivona
I absolutely loved getting my children photographed by Chantelle. She is a natural behind the camera and a natural with the kids. Her patience and professionalism put me immediately at ease and my toddler took a liking to her right away. I loved the end result, the pictures I got were amazing, better than I could have hoped for. I couldn't recommend Chantelle highly enough! If you want to capture charming, natural and in the moment images you are in the right place!
Shannon
Chantelle, I’ve never been moved so much by another creative until tonight. Thank you for capturing our little man’s quirks with so much love and patience today. You are such a beautiful soul, and it shines through so strongly in your work. I’m so grateful our paths crossed on this platform many moons ago, and how we have continued to watch one another’s journey flourish through hard work and persistence.
Tarryn
Chantelle has so much talent and compassion. Her professionalism and ability to be flexible is amazing and we love her dearly
Tania
Thank you Chantelle for perfectly capturing our family in a way that was natural yet beautiful. Chantelle really went the extra mile to ensure she catered to everything we were after in our photos and was professional right from the get go. Chantelle is very talented at what she does and we hope to work with her again soon.
Sarah
Chantelle’s patience and persistence to work with such young and unpredictable children is remarkable. My boys personalities were captured perfectly and they had so much fun being themselves exploring the outdoors. There is not a single photo we do not love! We cannot thank you enough and look forward to more photos in the future!
Kate
Thank you so much Chantelle! For making our three generations photo shoot a wonderful experience, you really made us feel comfortable we had so much fun it just felt natural like we were having a play at the park. You have a natural talent with your work the photos speak for themselves just amazing, we can't wait to have our next photo shoot I highly recommend Chantelle Elise photography.
Meryem
Chantelle did a shoot with my nieces and I had the opportunity to tag along. Chantelle worked so well with my nieces, she was so patient and calm. She captured such beautiful shots of them both. I look forward to the next time Chantelle takes photos of them again, as Sofia and Alessia loved spending time with Chantelle so much.
Sera
You are amazing! So patient, calming and so incredibly talented. So blessed to have met you and have you as our family photographer
Maria
We had the most beautiful time on our newborn shoot with Chantelle. She made us feel super comfortable and had all the tricks to keep bubba happy. She gave us some sneak peaks on the day of the shoot and had the USB of photos to us within a week... and was so professional, flexible and overall just an absolute delight to work with. The photos are absolutely incredible and we cried flicking through them all... she captured some beautiful memories for us and we couldn’t be happier. She is so talented and we can’t wait till next year when we can do her one year cake smash!!
Kerry
Chantelle recently did a Christmas Mini of my active little energiser girl. Chantelle was so patient as my daughter crawled all over the shop, kept eating the props and had a couple of mini breakdowns. This could have potentially been a really stressful process, however Chantelle was so understanding and still managed to get the most INCREDIBLE images. I can't wait to have our next shoot done in March! Chantelle you are amazing!
Georgia
Chantelle did a newborn photoshoot at her home studio. She has a calm/relaxed feeling about her, didn’t not rush. She involved my daughter in each photo (overprotective of her brother). I can’t thank Chantelle enough for the amazing photos we have! I used Chantelle to do a mini photoshoot for Father’s Day when she first started out., and we will continue to use her in the future!
Fiona
Chantelle is truly amazing at what she does, her passion for photography shows in the pictures she takes and her eye for natural beauty is amazing. she is patient and kind and my children adore having there photos done by her. All the photos I have received off Chantelle are absolutely stunning and I fall in love with every single shot. I am definitely looking forward to the next time I have photos with Chantelle
Danni
We adore our photos of our 8 week old that were taken by Chantelle. We really wanted to capture our little one while he was awake and alert and Chantelle did such a fabulous job. She is so warm and friendly, that the moment we met I knew she was the perfect photographer. We are so delighted we found her. Highly recommended!
Livvy
Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to work with. Everywhere I looked, she was there and onto it! You exceeded all expectations and I cannot wait to work with you in the nearby future
Emma
Thank you for my photos! They are beautiful we love them, you did a brilliant job!
Luisa
Chantelle has a gentle and natural way about her that makes it easy to be yourself in front of the camera. Because of this, she doesn't just take pictures, but capture moments, fragments of personality, and creates memories that you can look back on fondly. We have used Chantelle Elise photography a few times now and are always blown away by the quality and quick service she provides. We look forward to working with Chantelle in the near future. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
Sarah
I am so happy I asked Chantelle to take our family's first ever family portraits. It has always been something I was keen to do, however, my husband had always been hesitant due to cost and the thought that he would be expected to smile and pose awkwardly. After our session with Chantelle, he is first to admit that he was totally wrong! Not only was Chantelle's fee completely reasonable, but her calming and easy going nature enabled us to have a bit of fun during the shoot. We had a great time and the photos definitely captured that. Can't wait to book more sessions with Chantelle in the future.
Alesha
Chantelle’s work is absolutely flawless. Chantelle photographed my brother-in-laws wedding and she was so professional and discreet; capturing every beautiful moment without telling guests or the wedding party what to do and how to pose. Everything felt so natural. I was then gifted a certificate for a newborn shoot with Chantelle and again she was so professional, kind and calm. We decided to have ours done at her immaculate and beautiful home studio. I had sneak peak photos in my inbox before I had even gotten home! I’ll cherish all of our photos and I look forward to Chantelle capturing many more of our precious moments!
Jessica
Wow! What can I say! Chantelle was incredible! Made us feel so comfortable and was so professional!
Her images are to die for!! I am extremely happy with them and her prompt service of sending them out to us! I would recommend her to everyone and anyone thinking of doing newborn photography. She is so kind and gentle and sooo friendly!! Thank you a million times over for capturing such a special time in our lives
Jacinta
We are so glad we discovered Chantelle’s work. Besides being an excellent, intuitive photographer who takes ethereal photos, she is a prompt communicator and very understanding with little kids. She came prepared with a bubble wand for one of our little ones! The photoshoot was super easy thanks to Chantelle’s positivity and directions, the photos were all edited and provided the next day. Most importantly, she is a fantastic human being! Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience!
Anam
Both myself and my husband Nick had the pleasure of having a Chantelle come around to shoot our very fresh little man Fletcher. Chantelle Thankyou so much for producing so many wonderful pictures that we will cherish forever, your were such a calm and lovely person to have over and we had such a special time! I would 100% recommend Chantelle to anyway wanting to have special memories captured.
Elizabeth
Chantelle has photographed my Chloe at 10 days old back in March then again last week for a Xmas minis shoot. Chantelle is so calm, gentle and friendly. Her photos are beautiful and so natural. Would definitely be using her again Thanks Chantelle xxx
Penny
Chantelle recently photographed our little family and from our very first email conversation to the delivery of the photos, we could not have been happier. She was so lovely and patient throughout the process and put as at complete ease while taking the shots. We will definitely continue to use her services as our family grows and could not recommend her more highly! Ps. As well as being an amazing photographer, she is also one of the kindest people I’ve met, you will love her!
Jessica
From my first email with Chantelle she was positive and nothing was too much trouble. The photo shoot run so smoothly even with our large family group because Chantelle has such a lovely calming nature. She had a great sense of fun to capture gorgeous photos of the kids. A wonderful experience and beautiful photos to celebrate my in-laws 70th birthdays. Thank you Chantelle.
Kylie
Chantelle is an amazing photographer. She makes you feel completely at ease and her ability to capture the essence of my work space perfectly is a testament to her talent. I highly recommend this beautiful, talented woman.
Maria
My friend recommend Chantelle to me and I'm so glad she did!! I'm a facts girl so here's the facts about our experience. I had to reschedule pretty much immediately after I booked in and Chantelle was super understanding and accommodating. We were the last booking for the day so she took extra time and photos outside just because. 4 hours after our booking she sent a selection of photos to my messenger!! Obviously she couldn't do that for every client but it goes to show that if she can, she will. We had such a lovely experience and will definitely be back!
Erin
Hi Chantelle, Jeremy and I just wanted to send you a note to tell you how much we LOVE our family photos! You did the most amazing job and there are so many beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We have shown our family and they love them too and think they are absolutely priceless.
Rachel
I finally got a chance to look at the photos and want to thank you for capturing beautiful pics of our family and especially of our two beautiful girls Milana & Zara. You are a natural and we will highly recommend you to others. Thank you so much we love them x
Julie
Absolutely loved our experience with Chantelle and adore the memories she has captured of our little boy and our brand new family. Chantelle was so patient and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed! (She even offers breastfeeding breaks as part of the session time which I think is so lovely being a new Mumma) Can’t wait to book in for a cake smash when Colt is old enough! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Chantelle you have given us memories we will cherish for a lifetime.
Kristyn
Such incredible photos, thank you so much. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Really appreciate how many there are and also the black/white and coloured ones. As I previously mentioned, it’s so special to be able to have these stunning photos of our little girl. Hoping we can do another session every year to document. Thanks again, it’s been a brilliant experience. We are so happy!
Kaitlin
Oh my gosh - they're stunning! You have captured some really beautiful, genuine moments - a real reflection of our little dynamic as a family of 3! Honestly - we couldn't have asked for better shots! The response from all of our friends and family to the shoot has been incredible! I've had friends ask for your details! Honestly..just SO so chuffed...and blown away. You were really born to do this!
Jean
Chantelle is an AMAZING photographer. Her passion, enthusiasm and effervescent personality was such a delight to be around. Chantelle was so patient with my little one and was very attentive which in turn, resulted in beautiful memories being captured.
Nicole
Chantelle, is by far the best photographer there is no question about it. She is the only person we would use and have used 4 times all within the year. So accomodating, caring and compassionate. It’s not just a job to her but a passion and you can see it through her work. We’ve never waited long to see shots. Efficient and dedicated too!What comes out of her shoots leaves me speechless, she really does capture every moment so well!
Emma
I have the most beautiful images of my son thanks to Chantelle... Kian always and immediately felt at ease with her warm nature... highly recommend. Thank you Chantelle.
Debbie
Chantelle is absolutely amazing!! She is just so genuine with children my kids absolutely adored her from the minute they met her, she made the whole photo shoot seem completely effortless and has done the most amazing job! I could not be happier!
Andrea
What Chantelle does is way more than just taking photos. I needed something beautiful to give to my partner for father's day.. something pure. She captured not only some beautiful moments between his two kids, but the love they have for one another. Chantelle captures the beauty and emotion .. all the while making children she has never met feel extremely comfortable. She makes it a fun and enjoyable experience for the kids.. and it's beautiful to watch. Chantelle has a true passion and love for what she does and it not only shines when you see the end result in the photos, but also when you watch her capturing them. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!
Rosie
Thank you SO much for the photos. We absolutely LOVE them. You did the most incredible job capturing some beautiful moments- especially when Henry decided that he wanted a nap in the middle of it all. You were so calm and patient and we appreciate it so much. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Alice
Trusting someone to capture precious moments of your family is a big deal. We’ve put our complete trust in Chantelle twice now and have not been disappointed.
Taking pictures of kids can be tricky but Chantelle made every effort to keep our busy toddler engaged and there was no pressure when he didn’t want to cooperate. Thank you for making us feel so at ease during our sessions. We are so grateful for the moments you’ve captured.
Martika
I was searching through so many photographers portfolios trying to find the right one when I stumbled upon Chantelle. Her photo's spoke to me and I knew instantly that they were exactly what I was looking for. Chantelle was great with communication throughout the whole process. Very accomodating and patient. We felt very relaxed during our shoot and we received our photo's super quick! We couldn't recommend her enough! Thanks so much Chantelle for capturing beautiful moments for us.
Kathleen
Chantelle's talent and passion for photography is clearly reflected in the amazing photos we received from Sofia and Alessia's photo shoot. Working with young (tired) children has many challenges, but with her professionalism and impeccable patience, she managed to capture the personalities of our girls perfectly. If you are after beautiful images of your loved ones, we could not recommend Chantelle highly enough.
Louise
I have been getting photos done of my son from Chantelle for nearly 3 years now and every single time I am just over the moon with how she gets such amazing pictures of my son as he is very active and will not sit still. I love the all natural look of the photos she is just a natural at what she does
Samantha
I'd just like to thank you for your amazing customer service, not only are your images incredible but you have been nothing but helpful during this whole process. I couldn't believe that at such a busy time of the year you have managed to shoot and provide the images within a couple of days, especially to such a high standard. I can really tell you love what you do and your services have really been a standout. I will definitely be highly recommending you to all my family and friends.
Stella
Oh Chantelle, I’m lost for words. These are just magical. Thank you for capturing this special stage in our lives. Your work is absolutely stunning. Thank you thank you thank you!
