Your photoshoot takes place in a beautiful old mill that's full of character. It's in the heart of Ilkeston between Derby and Nottingham with free parking.
There's room for everyone from just the two of you to the whole family and your furry friends are very welcome too! 🐾

Kind Words From My Wonderful Customers
A massive thank you to Paul for our amazing photos. He did such a great job and had so much patience with our kids aged 8, 6 and 2, making sure they had fun rather than finding it a chore. We received the photos within a week too, which we were really impressed with. We have so many up around our house and have had huge compliments on them.
Natalie & Adam
A beautiful studio and the most warm, professional photo shoot we have been to. We never realised this experience would be so enjoyable but Paul made us feel extremely welcome with plenty of cups of tea and coffee on hand. He was very professional and creative and knew exactly what he was doing. We would highly recommend him and will most definitely be coming back.
Matt & Becky
An absolutely brilliant experience with a very talented photographer. He really put my family at ease in his stunning studio and produced some beautiful photographs. Happy to recommend to others and we will go back.
Paul Annable
We were bought a studio session for Christmas and were initially quite apprehensive about the whole thing! Paul was lovely and immediately put us at ease. He was very professional and got some great shots from what was quite a challenging audience! The result was better than I thought possible. Would highly recommend.
Jenny Pritchard
I wanted some pictures of our puppy while she was still small and Paul was kind enough to let us bring her to his lovely studio. We'd never had our photos taken professionally before so were a bit nervous, but Paul was great. He really made us feel at ease and was so patient with Bella, who wasn't the easiest to work with! The pictures look fantastic. Super impressed, I really can't recommend Paul enough.
Allison Byatt
This was the best experience for our first photoshoot. We felt comfortable and relaxed from the start, with a really chilled vibe and no pressure or judgement. The studio is a really nice, clean space and our photos have come out beautifully. I would 100% recommend this studio and photographer!
