PORTRAIT SESSIONS
I have used Oakley studios for a family session and loved them so much now I am using them for their baby photoshoot with my new baby. Having a large family they worked wonders with our then 4 boys ( now 5) and got amazing photographs. Thank you Oakley Studios.
They made us feel very welcome and comfortable.. everything was explained to us in detail. They were so good with my daughter during the photoshoot. Look forward to the next photoshoot.
David and Sue were accommodating and welcoming right from the first phone call! They made us feel very relaxed and at ease as they created a lovely calming atmosphere, whilst they carefully positioned and supported our little Oakley to capture some stunning pictures. They have a beautiful studio - a really beautiful set up - we can’t wait to go back
"Oakley Studios specialise in family, individual, newborn and Children’s portraits.
They put you at ease immediately and David’s skill behind the camera brings the best out of anyone in front of his camera.
You can see why they have won so many awards!
On top of this, they do amazing work to support charities like Keech Hospice Care, Bedfordshire Hospitals and over 40 Bedfordshire Schools and have contributed to over £40k of fundraising!
A small business with a big heart and packed full of talent”.

It can be scary doing something for the first time, especially when it's 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 always say - enough - It's something we cannot put a number on!
Seriously it always depends on how many people are involved and how many different combinations are required. Just make sure if you want a special image taken that you let us know before the shoot.
Give us a call so that we can talk about your session. You can either then book and pay for your collection, if you know exactly what you want, or you can simply pay the deposit of £39 to secure your booking.
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 family so let’s know ….
the occasion?
who’s coming ?
your style?
are you open to suggestions?
do you want to go for a clothes change?
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, everyone will know what to do, what to wear and where they need to be………crack open the fizz (on us of course) celebrate the family and have a fabulous experience
Come back a few days later to choose your images in our comfortable viewing lounge. If your family are travelling a long distance for the shoot, we could arrange to view the images the same day, Just let us know if this is relevant to you and we can make all the arrangements.
