We are Wall Art Specialists Our aim is to create stunning photos to hang on the wall at home for you to cherish forever.
Our clients are everything
Founded in 2006, Blink Studios has grown from humble beginnings to become a trusted name in professional studio photography. Our founder, Natalie, started her journey in the world of photography as a self-taught artist, gaining valuable experience while shooting in challenging lighting conditions at events and nightclubs. This early experience sharpened her technical skills and fueled her passion for capturing life’s most special moments.
Initially, Blink Studios covered a wide range of photography, including weddings, events, and various types of studio work. However, as time went on, our focus shifted, and we found our true calling in the world of studio photography, specializing in Newborn, Dog, and Family photography. Today, we are known for our warm, welcoming environment and the timeless memories we help families create.
Our talented team is at the heart of Blink Studios:
- Natalie, GM and lead photographer, specializes in Newborn and Family photography, ensuring that every session is filled with care and creativity.
- Gemma, our Studio Manager, brings her expertise in Boudoir photography, creating an empowering and comfortable experience for her clients.
- Elise, our Dog photographer and editor, has a natural gift for capturing the unique personalities of our furry friends.
- Luke, our Viewings Consultant, helps families relive the magic of their sessions and choose the perfect images to treasure for years to come.
- Vicky, our Bookings Consultant, is the friendly voice you’ll hear when scheduling your session, making sure every detail is handled with care.
At Blink Studios, our mission is to create beautiful, lasting memories in a relaxed, fun environment. We’re dedicated to providing our clients with exceptional service and stunning photography that they can cherish for a lifetime.
At Blink Of An Eye we are natural, fun and creative. What makes us unique is the combination of all of this with a high-quality, professional service. We aren’t a soulless chain and we aren’t a stuffy, old-school studio! We create really innovative and beautiful photographs which capture a feeling.
