Thank you so much again for the shoot which was incredibly enjoyable and fun, and of course for capturing our family in such an organic and natural way – the photos are exceptional and we are absolutely thrilled with them!
CAMILLA – HENRY’S MUMMY Sept 19
We are especially thankful for all your work on our product photography in the run up to the Christmas season. We have seen an increase in both our sales and engagement on social media when we have used your photos… You have really helped us get more consistency across our website too… the Bowes effect!!!

YVETTE HAWKINS STUDIO Dec 2018 (product photography)
Clare, the photos are absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much. We absolutely love them! The shoot this morning was really fun and exactly what I’d hoped – not really feeling like we were being pictured and just capturing our family time together. So grateful!
ELEANOR – HECTOR & SYLVIE’S MUMMY Sept 2018
It has been so nice to add some proper behind the scenes photos to my collection recently. If you want some taken, I can highly recommend @clarebowesphoto for making you feel at ease
CLARE – SERIOUS STAMP CO June 2018 (product photography)
If any businesses are looking to have product or lifestyle shots done then I’d highly recommend Clare. It’s not as pricey as you might think and the turnaround time is really quick”
JOHN – OWNER OF GEORDIE GENES June 2018 (product photography)
I’d like to have pictures taken of Mia fairly regularly so I’m sure I’ll be in touch again in future. My parents loved the pictures too and my dad said you managed to capture “the essence of Mia” which other photos (taken on phones etc) don’t seem to do. Thanks again.
ROSIE – MIA’S MUMMY May 2018
Oh my god I absolutely LOVE the photos! Brought a tear to my eye on what is not a very happy day as the girls are getting their jabs so it’s cheered me up so much. Thank you. They’re so special to have and I just love that you were able to come and see us and capture these while we’re all at home together. I’ll treasure these forever.
CLARE – POPPY & ALICE’S MUMMY February 2018
Clare was fantastic. We had a newborn photoshoot and she captured some lovely shots which we will cherish. Clare is extremely knowledgeable on what shots will work and made us feel at ease during the shoot. Clare edited and sent the photos to us extremely quickly which was very much appreciated. Highly recommended.
LAURA – REUBEN’S MUMMY February 2018
I was very lucky to meet the talented @clarebowesphoto by chance one day in our @mushroomworks shop… I plagued her for a while to branch out from lifestyle photography to products and eventually she agreed. I just knew she was the one for the job. Not only have we got amazing product photography out of this new friendship & business relationship but also the use of her actual lifestyle photography shots in our little blocks of joy. She’s a clever lady, has a super eye for detail and styling and knows the brief before there’s even a brief. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
JULIE COXON – Head honcho at a-musing.co.uk December 2017 (product photography)
Clare was absolutely fantastic! She was so good at knowing exactly the kind of photos we wanted and was so relaxed and great with the kids and somehow managed to get some amazing shots despite the kids not always fully co-operating at the same time! We were so impressed and would and have already recommended her to our friends! I will definitely be calling again for photo shoots in the future! Thank you!
NATASHA – MANI & MIA’S MUMMY August 2017
Ah Clare I can’t tell you how pleased we are with the pictures, they’re exactly what we wanted! Thank you so much, you’ve done such an amazing job!
JOANNE – JESSICA’S MUMMY August 2017
Honestly thank you so much, I’m very much behind the camera and never in front of it – I am in a few childhood pics and fewer adult pics, I really was dreading the thought of needing to mug to a camera for two hours knowing I was going to hate my face in every picture – the opposite is true though, you are so easy to be around, the pics are natural and lovely and frankly my heart aches at how perfect the little one and Phil are in every single shot (and the dogs! As if you got those to work!!)
NICOLA – EMMY’S MUMMY June 2017
Many, many thanks for these they are beautiful!!! I’m so chuffed with them! I think there might be a small tear in my eye! They look amazing, I think I’ll have to think about getting more stuff done as I’m sure these amazing shots are going to boost sales, the products look so stylish!!! What else can I say??? Cheers Clare, you talented lady!!
CAROLINE KAYE – OWNER OF LITTLE CHERUB DESIGN April 2017 (Product Photography)
LOVE them! Thanks millions and millions and gazillions. Can’t believe we have such a lovely group of photos when really it just felt like we had a nice long chat with you! Will be recommending you to everyone.
CAROLINE – SAM & TOBY’S MUMMY April 2017
*5 star all the way!* Clare has an incredible way of understanding what you are looking for from a shoot and spends time tailoring each one for you individually. She has such a calm friendly manner, which puts everyone at ease and she manages to get the best out of anyone she photographs; be it a newborn, young child, adult or dog in our case! Absolutely delighted with the two shoots, photos and overall experience we have had with Clare. We feel quite smug to have found this talented lady! Simply put, she is amazing at what she does. We would recommend wholeheartedly.
KELLY – GABRIEL, FLORENCE AND HONOR’S MUMMY Dec 2016

SARAH – LEO AND LILY’S MUMMY Dec 2016
Thank you so much for the wonderful photographs, they are above and beyond all our expectations. I honestly don’t know how we’re going to choose which gorgeous images to adorn the walls at home. In addition, your service has been exemplary!
RUTH – ESME AND ZACH’S MUMMY Nov 2016
I’ve known Clare about 10 years now, we worked together when she was deputy Picture Editor at heat magazine – I had no idea then that she was going to go out into the world as a photographer herself! I’m always blown away by how natural, beautifully lit and real her pictures of children are. The pictures she creates have the ability to make you smile and if I had kids I would be driving them up North to be photographed by her

Clare’s photos of my son Oscar and our family are so beautiful they made me do a little cry. She really captured his happy little personality and how much we love him. Our Christmas presents are now all sorted! Clare made the whole process completely enjoyable. I cannot recommend her highly enough
POLLY – OSCAR’S MUMMY August 2016
You have me in tears – they are stunning! Love, love, love them! You have captured their characters and expressions perfectly. We are thrilled with them. I can’t thank you enough for fitting us in and processing them so quickly. We all had so much fun and it’s thanks to you. Can’t wait to show the kids them tomorrow!
PAM – EMMA, KATE AND TOM’S MUM June 2016
We absolutely love the photos of our family. Clare takes such lovely natural pictures and you never feel like any of them are staged. We’ve had two sets of photos taken now and they are both amazing. Clare has such a great eye for taking the most gorgeous pictures! x
BRONWYN – GEORGIA’S MUMMY June 2016
Hi Clare – Thank You so much. The pictures are wonderful and we are delighted. You really have captured Luca beautifully and these are photos which we will treasure forever.
GAIL – LUCA’S MUMMY June 2016
Had a super afternoon with Clare as she photographed my 3 young preschool charges. She is uber talented, professional, friendly & brilliant at what she does. She put the kids at ease & they loved her. Nothing was too much trouble for her & her patience unending with the marauders. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for this kind of photography. I can’t wait to see the finished shots. She captured some amazing moments for their parents that they can enjoy forever. Thanks Clare! Xx

“I just wanted to thank you Clare for our fabulous photo shoot. We have some lovely pics and you were amazing with the kiddies! Thank you x”
EMMA – IMMY & OLLY’S MUMMY Feb 2016
“I’ve just been looking at the photos again. They are really lovely, they have achieved exactly what we wanted, that is to record the extended family for posterity, but more than that we have got some lovely unexpected photos as well! I haven’t worked out which ones we’re going to enlarge/put on the wall yet, but it will probably be a jumping one of the kids and a jumping one of the adults! I also like the one of our family group as a picture of the four of us is also a rarity. Thanks for doing the photos, I would definitely recommend you to anyone who asks! xx“
