About Celia May

celia-may-bipp

As a mother of two young girls and Ollie-Jim (spaniel!) I know how important it is to parents to have a collection of images that portray relaxed, honest and genuinely beautiful expressions, creating organic, dream-like images which reflect each individuals' character and spirit.

I love to use landscapes and the environment in my portraiture to really tell a story, whether around your home or out and about in the park, the woods, walled gardens, the beach or a place your children have never been - highly exciting.

I cover predominantly Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Birmingham, the West Midlands and also work Nationwide.

Attracting families who desire portraiture with a highly distinctive and individual style, they receive a luxury service on a very personal level.

As one of the top children's photographers in the UK, Celia May has won numerous awards for her Children, Family and Fine Art collections. 

Over time you forget some of your own memories of when you were young - I can record your world as it is now for evermore. Memories of people will always remain through photographs -as long as there are people alive who knew and loved them – they don't die.

She has taken pictures of my wife and children, my mother and father, my brother and sister and even my cat, on very different occasions, and the photographs are all simply superb.""Celia's personality allows her to catch the essence of people, old and young.Careful use of location, lines and texture further enhance her work, so that the finished product is more art than portrait. It is no accident that she keeps winning awards."
