A tangible legacy celebrating family which becomes more precious as time moves on.
It's incredible how fast children grow and change, and that's why we believe it's essential to capture those precious first few months with professional photographs that you will treasure for years to come.
From those first smiles, to sitting up, standing up, and taking those first steps - it all happens in a flash. That's why we want to invite you to a fun-filled photo session at our studio where we can capture all of these important milestones.
At Oakley Studios, we've had the privilege of photographing over 15,000 sessions with babies of all ages, and we know just how to make them feel comfortable and happy during their shoot.
The result will be stunning images of your little one that will bring a smile to your face every single day for years to come.
PORTRAIT SESSIONS
I had a sitting with three kids running around but David and Sue were very patient with us. I absolutely love their work and would love to work with them again.
Couldn’t have been happier with the experience and photos we received. David and Sue are very friendly. My baby was obsessed with Sue who managed to get her to smile and laugh lots.

Let's talk about your little one. What do they like, what's their personality. If they have a favourite teddy, this can be included. The more we know, the more relaxed they will be and we will all have a fabulous time.
Designed with you in mind, giving the best quality, hand selected, hand finished (and only things we fell in love with) just for you
It can be scary doing something for the first time, especially when its something as important as your family and the ones who mean the most to you. We know most people haven't been lucky enough to have a photo session before and worry about how it all works, and importantly how much it will cost
We don't choose our products, you do, over decades our customers help tell us what they love the most and so that is what we offer, no hidden catches, no cheap rubbish, no confusing terminology, and most importantly nothing to worry about just beautiful products and prices you can see

We'll chat about this as it does depen on the age of your little one and also whether the shoot is going to be indoor or outdoor. You can bring changes of clothing, its definitely something to talk to us about.
This session is really about baby, but I'm sure we can take some of parents too, it such a great opportunity - too good to miss!
We always say - enough - Its something we cannot put a number on!

Let’s introduce ourselves, we are David and Sue Doyle, owners of Oakley Studios Luton established in 1990. We specialise in family photoshoots. We are super proud of our reputation of providing a first class family portrait photography service.
We offer all styles of lifestyle photoshoots from maternity to those extra special multi generation photos.
Our aim is to always provide a truly professional service to our clients. It's so special and humbling for us that many clients return year on year with their growing family, the best recommendation we could ever hope to receive. We know their family photos become treasured and historical heirlooms.
Over the last 30 years, we have taken a lot of photos!
It has been amazing for us to have been included in our clients lives - shooting their weddings, their growing families, their children growing up. Some of our very first tiny babies are now coming back to us with their babies - mindblowing - just like to say we started out when we were very very young!!!!
Along with all the family and occasion photoshoots we offer magical fairy theme shoots and fun filled Christmas shoots.
We have a fabulous garden studio based at our home. Being out of town gives us a tranquil studio environment which puts everyone at ease ready for relaxing family photoshoot. Easy to locate with free parking to boot. What's not to like?
We have a modern purpose built garden studio allowing us the freedom to offer different backgrounds to suit both casual and formal photoshoots.
Outdoors ? We love using our special “outdoor studio”, and have developed several places in our garden for this. Children in particular love the freedom outdoors love being able to let off steam. Our new children's hedgehog seats are a definite hit.
There is always a "Plan B" if the weather is not playing ball on the day .
It’s good to get to know you before the shoot. The shoots are designed around you and your baby .
We will help with advice and hints and tips on what's best to wear.
It's your day and your special occasion
A celebration portrait shoot with us, means we help.
We can advise on arranging and organising everyone. We have handy style guides and bucketloads of experience.
So please ask as many questions as you can think of, use our knowledge and experience, it's just part of what we do.
Working together beforehand will make the celebration
extra special
It won’t hurt honest!
With our help, you will know what to expect and what to wear so all you have to do is enjoy the fabulous experience.
Come back a few days later to see the images in our comfortable viewing lounge where you can choose your portraits in a wonderfully relaxed environment.
