I'm Fallon, a professional qualified freelance Photographer and Retoucher based in Hertfordshire, England, with 16+ years of experience. I graduated in 2008 with my BA HONS Digital and Lens Media Degree and shortly after, began my freelance photography career. I have photographed various styles over the years including fashion, portraits, products, events and corporate images, as well as babies, toddlers and families of course!
During my previous employments, I have worked as the Head Photographer within a popular Family Portrait Studio, I am also an experienced retoucher from my employment within a leading UK Fashion Studio.
Since having my daughter in 2018, my passion for baby, children and family photography in Hertfordshire excelled - I love nothing more than creating beautiful memories for others of the most important moments in their lives. Becoming a mother has made me realise how quickly time passes and that every single moment is fleeting and so important - I love to document this through my images, for my own family and for others.
There is nothing I love more than providing families with beautiful, heartfelt images of their precious little ones, capturing the connections and love within that unit.
It is a priority to me that my photography is suitable for all kinds of budgets - I firmly believe everyone should be able to have the opportunity of professional images of their family. Becoming a parent made me appreciate professional photos of babies even more, capturing every detail as they don't stay that little for very long!
I am extremely experienced working with children, with past employment and work experience within schools, and aim to make my sessions as fun and interactive as possible, from newborns to any age. I've seen it all, so don't worry about how your baby might be in your session, nothing phases me after becoming a parent myself too!
My style of photography is relaxed, fun and modern, capturing babies naturally, with the use of a small number of props, toys, blankets etc to accompany.
To view further examples of my work, please visit my social pages where you'll also find previous work including product photography, fashion photography and events.
I have recently completely redesigned my St Albans photography studio for the first time since opening back in 2008 and what a glow up it's had! The space is completely aligned with my branding and vision, with lots of little details and finishing touches added to make it the most welcoming environment for you and your little ones. I can't wait to invite you for your session in this new and improved space I am so proud to call my workplace!

"Absolutely amazing experience at a cake smash & splash shoot. Fallon has great visions for getting the best photos. She had great ideas on how to encourage my daughter and use props to get shots of her touching the cake until she built the confidence to touch and eat it herself which Fallon gave her time to do. She took her time and at no point did we feel rushed. She’s very kind, supportive and reassuring to both parent and child. We will be retuning to Fallon later in the year. Thanks again"

"I asked Fallon to photograph me in my kitchen setting for my cake business for sharing on socials and my new website. Fallon instantly put me at ease, was directive and I really enjoyed the session. I am blown away with the photos - they are so natural and really represent my life as a cakemaker. It was so hard to choose which photos I wanted as they were all so wonderful. Fallon is very professional but with a warmth, kind smile and manner that really relaxes you so that she can get the best from you. I w"

"Fallon has a lovely way of putting you at ease and making you smile. Having worked with Fallon on several shoots over the years it was only natural that we would go to her to capture our special moments, from our engagement to maternity and newborn photoshoots. Her work is beautiful and you can see her love for what she does in each shoot. Cannot wait to work with you again"
