What Do We Do Differently?

We are specialists in photojournalistic portraiture of babies and young children. We are different because we take the photos in our client’s own homes because this is where both they and their little ones feel more comfortable and confident, and where the children can have their own toys to play with.

Our relaxed home-centred approach, together with the unique way we present our images is also very different to your normal portrait photo experience. In fact, we pride ourselves on doing things differently: From the way we photograph (using natural light- so we don’t need to bring lots of bulky lighting and equipment into your home), and taking time to really get to know our clients, to the finished images which tell a story and capture an everyday moment in time. The way we do business is different too: We never hard sell or push our clients into buying anything they don’t want to – our aim is to provide a fun experience and surprise our clients again and again with the quality of our service and unique style.

Where Do You Fit In?

You don’t have to be a photographer, or have any photographic or business experience to join our team. If you’re friendly, confident, love kids and challenges, then this really could be the opportunity for you. And, we’ll provide all the photographic and business training that you’ll need!

However, there are 2 basic things that you’ll need to bring to the mix yourself to succeed with Pebbles:

• 1. You’ll need to be confident and enjoy meeting people. You’ll need to be able to talk to mums, and especially to children.
• 2. You’ll need to be self motivated - running your own business takes effort. After your initial start-up period you’re probably looking at something like 8-10 hours per week but you will need to put more hours in at the beginning to get your business launched. If you're also the sort of person who doesn’t give up at the first setback but becomes even more determined then Pebbles is the right opportunity for you.
