Aby Rafter Photography | Family, Maternity and Newborn Photo Shoots

Hi there, I’m Aby.

You’re here to get to know a little more about me (and to see if I’m the photographer you want to capture your family).

I live in Winton, Bournemouth with my lovely husband and two cheeky kids.

My daughter has been keeping me on my toes since 2013 and my son is my little shadow. They are my everything and my driving force behind why I do what I do…

How can I help you?

Newborns and babies

Natural newborn sessions. No props needed... just your beautiful baby.

Families

Maternity

A chance to document this magical time when your baby is still cuddled up inside you.

The kindest words from my lovely clients…

“I am very grateful to Aby for capturing, so beautifully, such a special moment in our lives. Not naturally very comfortable in front of the camera and with a young baby who isn't shy to cry, I was a little nervous.

Aby put me and my son at ease, we enjoyed the experience and now have wonderful pictures to treasure. I was particularly impressed with her eye for a great shot- she had ideas I wouldn't ever have thought of - and the end results are up on my wall!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and we'll certainly be booking her again when my son is a bit older."

"My biggest concern had nothing to do with your ability as a photographer as I had seen your work and it's beautiful. My biggest concern was how my son would behave! I needn't have worried! The atmosphere you create is so natural he literally could get on doing his own thing, while somehow you managed to capture the most amazing shots.

My favourite part of the photoshoot was getting to see the pictures, they are wonderful and something to treasure for the future.

If you want snap shots of your life that you can keep forever then Aby is the photographer for you, the pictures are not staged or posed but are far more interesting and beautiful."

"We were really pleased that Aby could come and photograph our family reunion at short notice.

She was pleasant and efficient and very relaxed with our large group - in total six children and four adults."

"An all round brilliant experience - thanks Aby for a wonderful afternoon capturing our little family. We had no preconceived ideas of what to expect or what we wanted, which made the results even more special.

What we didn't want however, was the photo's to look staged but because Aby was so relaxed and easy going it was effortless to be ourselves; which she captured with every photo.

She was wonderful with our daughter and managed to get pics of her that I would never be able to! I have been recommending her to anyone considering a 'photo shoot' - not just for the enjoyable time spent in front of the camera, but the fantastic results. We will definitely go back for another 'shoot' Aby!! Thank you so much!"

"The images from our party are stunningly, stunningly beautiful. Getting you to come and take photos for our special occasion was just the best decision.

Knowing that you were there snapping away meant we didn't have to give it a second thought; it was all being taken care of by your very capable hands!

Thank you Aby, we've spent many happy hours looking at all the photos."
