Jude Gidney Photography Saddleworth, Oldham and Ashton under lyne
Maternity, Newborn and Baby Photographer
Little girls in beautiful tutu dresses, dancing with teddies and galloping on rocking horses always bring a smile to their faces, and an opportunity for lovely memories to be captured.
These dresses are loaned to me by Dawn Houston, a creative dress-maker who stitches wonderful powder puffs of girliness for the little ones, and big ones, to wear. She sells them from The Small Business Emporium in Denton.
Here’s a few from a recent tutu photo session:
Christmas is coming and it seems people are already thinking in that direction.
I’ll be announcing special Christmas shoots very soon – if you want to book and get ahead of the game contact me here
This coming Sunday I will be at the Oldham Academy at the Dragon’s Den famed Mum2mum Market. ( Nearly New and New Baby and up to 6 yrs Equipment and clothes amongst other things! ) I’ll be exhibiting some of my recent work, involving the Cardboard Box Project and the Tutu Shoots. My work at present is involving not only Maternity and Newborn sessions, but also babies in their first year and older children.
Mum2mum Market is at the Oldham Academy 1.30 til 3.30pm, this Sunday, 17th September. See you there!
Facebook has been awash with phone images of first day at school. Here’s a few I took of Sam just before his first day back, looking pristine in his new school uniform, proud and very excited to be going.
More of this session can be seen here : Back to School

Thanks to my wonderful brother Richard Grinter, my website and branding has a new look. It’s taken the two of us months to design and perfect the idea, but I’m over the moon with the new look and how it can be used. Please check out the rest of my website to see how it looks.
Maternity Photography or Bump-to-Baby Photography.
I love to meet mums before they give birth, in order for them to get to know how I work and that their newborn baby during their newborn baby photography session will be in safe hands. It’s a quiet and calm time when mum can feel pampered and looking amazing.
If you’d like to have a chat about what it involves or book a session for yourself please just message me or ring on 07759 599134.
Don’t be another one that regrets she didn’t do it.
Have you seen my newborn baby portfolio yet?
Beautiful babies, changing so quickly in the first year of their lives. From Newborns, sleepy, curly little characters to sitters and then up onto their feet. They’re all wonderful opportunities for capturing moments in their developing worlds.
Ten things to capture yourselves:
These are all little moments that can easily be captured on a smartphone or camera. They may seem cute at the time but they’ll be wonderful to look back upon years later. Remember to back up your images or even get them printed as simple prints put into an album or in a printed book. Images on a computer or phone are easily lost!!

I’ve recently had the pleasure of meeting little Piper when her mum brought her to my photostudio.
Let me introduce her to you: She was a two year old bubbly little lady, with a bounce of blonde hair and a wonderful smile to go with it.
Now usually I think twice about having a terrible two year old in the studio as the little maturing toddlers are well known to be brewing an awareness and understanding that what ‘they’ want ‘me’ to do, isn’t great fun but is much more amusing to do the opposite. Luckily with Piper we hit on a good note and got her very engrossed in dressing up in frilly dresses and playing with the very interesting toys I have in the studio.
She loved it, and experience and quick thinking allowed me to get a great range of images within the 20mins we managed to keep her attention for.
Then the strop happened – and everything ground to a halt. It made for one final image that is one of my favourites in the set – ‘Miss Diva’.
Here’s a few of the images from the session. The tutu dress was kindly loaned by Dawn Houston of The Small Business Emporium, Denton. The other clothes also available from the Truly Piper range also at The Emporium. A big thankyou also to Piper’s Mum Lis for her assistance in the studio.
If you’d like to enquire about your own photosession for your little lady or gent please contact me here.
Have you caught my baby images yet? Please take a look here.
Either one to four people at the studio or I’ll bring the studio to your workplace. The studio is easily accessible by train or road and is a warm and welcoming place to relax and let the photographer capture you.
Let your customers see who they are talking to, so even add them to your email. Interaction and a personal service are proven to be winners in this online world.
£120 for individuals or £150 for multiples at the studio. For on location shoots please email me.

This project is the beginning of a piece of work I am undertaking which I intend to submit towards my Associateship for the British Institute of Professional Photographers. ( BIPP)
I have worked with children photographing them in the studio, on location and at Weddings for over 14 yrs now. On equipping my studio I struggled to find beautiful toys that would both photograph well and the children would be engaged with to achieve natural and fun images. A memory of my two sons when they were under 10 yrs was of them spending more time enjoying playing and using their imagination to turn a cardboard box into a castle, TV, ramp and so on. So let them play with cardboard boxes!
The model shoot involved three children, who thought they were coming to the studio for a portrait session with their musical instruments. Some beautiful images were achieved but the minute I brought out the boxes they turned from performing pieces to children excited about creating and playing. The atmosphere so changed in the studio and they resulting images were so natural. The project continues, I’m not sure how many I will involve or for how long.
The project is intending to raise funds for Remember My Baby Charity of which I am a volunteer photographer.
If you wish to find out how to get involved please contact me here.
