Are you going to capture those family memories

before the children grow up and fly the nest? Making treasured memories of the family

can be one of the most special gifts for relatives near and far. But do you worry about what it will be like to have a family photo taken? Will the children have a good time too? Will the photographer be patient and take her time? Get the best out of the session an

d the best out of all of the people there? Tova is a mum herself of two lively and lovely children and fully understands all of the concerns that a family may have when it comes to getting the most out a photography session. Tova prides herself on capturing the smiles,

fun and energy of a family,

whilst creating a beautiful moment in time. She likes to make sure time is taken to make all of her family sessions as wonderful as they can be,

but only long enough so parents, babies and children are not hanging around too long resulting in an unhappy little crowd. Tova specialises in:

Milestone birthdays and occasions photography

Kids Photography

Family compositions

Included in all Tova’s work is post production work and correction work. All parents want to mark their childrens’ journey through life and many regret not having more photos of the family or leaving it just too late. Before they know it,

their children are ready for University and collage! Time with a professional photographer is like creating a little time capsule of a moment of a childs life. Some families like to have group photos around the holidays ,

or simply the start of a new school in fresh new uniforms – photographs for the grandparents, proud aunts and uncles. Or maybe an anniversary or birthday? Again, all marking the passing of time and the journey through family life. So how does Tova put together her compositions? Her expert eye is a result of 13 years of experience and she continually challenges herself to take better and more beautiful photos. Whether it be outside in the park, with the children running free or in her home studio, with the perfect lighting and controlled conditions, the work looks fresh and personal to each family. Tova doesn’t believe in the stiff family posed shots, but she will always add her professional style to all her work. Work she is so proud to undertake for all of her families. Tova trained in Israel and her work has taken her all around Europe and the UK. Tova’s home studio is based in Salford, but she can travel in the surrounding Salford and Greater Manchester area. She would love you to take a look at all of her work and feel free to call or email for details and to talk through all of your requirements to make your experience truly personal, comfortable and a joy of an occasion.

I was asked to photograph a very long table for a client who wanted to show how many people could sit around it. The warehouse was quite narrow, and there were only enough chairs for one side—and in different colours!

To solve this, I photographed the chairs on one side, then moved them to the other side and took another photo—without moving the camera. Later, I combined the two photos in Photoshop so it looks like the table is full of chairs on both sides.

I also edited the images to match the chair colours, remove the background, and even changed the table and chairs to a darker shade.

With a bit of creativity and editing, you can make your products look their best—even if you don’t have all the perfect props on hand!

I'd love to hear from you — which photo would you choose as a profile picture?

This lovely lady came to my studio with her family for a portrait session, and we took the opportunity to photograph her on her own as well.

So, which one is your favourite for a profile photo: 1 or 2?

What’s your favourite photo — 1 or 2?

I always like to take both sides: one looking to the right, one looking to the left.
Why? Because it’s nice when your gaze faces the direction of the text.

For example:
If your LinkedIn or website is in English (left to right), it can look better when you're facing left.
But if your text is in a right-to-left language like Hebrew or Arabic, then it’s better when your gaze is to the right.

But… it’s not a rule!
If you look better in a specific photo that goes against the direction of the text, just choose the one where you feel most comfortable.
At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you feel good about your photo.

What's the best reward for a photographer? A happy client!

Thrilled to share this wonderful feedback from Levin Goldstein, CPA, EMBA. Fund Reporting Manager.

Nothing makes me happier than helping professionals shine in their headshots!

Here is a lovely testimonial I received from Leah:

"I had a fantastic experience working with Tova. She was incredibly thoughtful, positive, and helpful throughout the entire process. Her friendly and professional approach made me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. The results were amazing — I'm beyond happy with my professional shots! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and supportive photographer."

Helping professionals like Leah put their best face forward is what makes my job so rewarding! Who else is due for a profile refresh?

Here are 2 photos I photographed of my friend Faigy.

I would love to hear from you - which is your favourite photo for a profile image?

I love trying different backgrounds when taking photos so clients can choose their favourite photos.

Martin approached me to upgrade his personal branding images, and since I had previously photographed many Smartinet staff members for their headshots, I was familiar with the company's services.

Smartinet is a communication company specializing in Business Telecom & Card Payment Services, offering reliability, transparency, and flexibility. They prioritize efficient customer service, tailored plans, and dedicated support to ensure uninterrupted operations.

During our photo session, we aimed to connect their audience with their communication brand and the high-quality headphones they sell. We captured images showcasing the ability to work from anywhere, even on the go, with their products.

But we didn't stop at photos. We also did some video filming, gathering testimonials from satisfied local clients. It was quite easy, as their clients were more than happy to provide feedback. Smartinet are doing the video editing in-house. And as soon as the videos are ready, I can't wait to share it with you all.
Testimonials are a powerful way to showcase a business's reputation.

With a bank of images and videos, Martin is now well-equipped to boost Smartinet's brand awareness in the coming months.

If you're looking to enhance your business's branding, don't hesitate to get in touch—I'd be delighted to help your business shine.

A while ago I photographed Ilana for personal branding photos (check yesterday's post to see Ilana's stunning photos ). She later asked me to come and take photos of her staff at her dental practice so she could have updated images of everyone.

They are all such nice people, and even though I had to come back a few times as they don't all work the same days, it was fantastic as they were so pleasant to work with.

Ilana also wanted to have lifestyle photos with real clients! Luckily her amazing clients were happy to smile for the camera as they sat in the treatment chair, and we got some fantastic images.

Now when potential clients go to her website, they will see authentic photos of real staff and real people, and all of them look so happy!

Ilana is a dentist and wanted to have good photos to promote her personal branding.

If you are in business, for example, if you are a dentist, there are tons of dentists around that also offer good quality, good service, good payment plans etc.

What makes you unique and special? Why should customers come especially to you?
The answer is very simple, this is YOU!

There is no one else in this world that can compare to you as a person!

All your uniqueness, your own personality, your own energy level, your own charisma... your smile, your attitude and this is really what attracts your potential customers.

In our world, when we as business promote our business online with websites, social media etc and also in printed magazines, we have to remember that this what makes us stand out in the crowd. If our photos can show our personality, they are much more likely to attract more clients.

Let's go back to Ilana. Many people know Ilana and her devotion to her dental patients and are very satisfied with her job and the results they are getting.

Now what about potential clients that don’t know Ilana personally? They are looking for a dentist, and with so many dentists around, many people will contact her based on her personality

Now when Ilana posts a blog post, or a post on social media, she can add her photo so people get to know here better. As the old saying goes; people need to know you, love you and trust you, then they will buy from you. If you have a business, you want to shout out about the problems you solve for your clients, you want to be authentic and to let people connect you on a personal level.

Ilana is very busy during the week so we booked the session for early Friday morning. First Lea Bookman, the makeup artist, came to apply beautiful makeup for Ilana then I arrived to take her pictures.

We started to take photos in Ilana’s room; meanwhile she was explaining to me all about the new technology that they use to give their clients the best dental results. Afterwards we went outside to take some photos outside the practice. It was freezing cold!!

Then we drove to my studio where we took some studio portraits and after we were done we went next door to Brackmans for a coffee, but there was a very long queue (Brackman’s on a Friday morning!) and Ilana was in a rush so we just took few photos there.

It was so nice working with Ilana, She is so easy going and we had such an amazing time creating these wonderful photos.

Thank you Ilana for your kind words:

''I am so delighted with the experience Tova has given me! This is the first time ever I actually liked a photo of myself! She is super talented and a very warm and kind person to deal with. She is also so much more than a photographer! She has helped me so much with putting a face on my business. I would highly recommend her to everyone in fact I want to shout about it!!! ''

Here is a project I photographed at Beenstock Home.

Beenstock is a care home in Salford, Greater Manchester, that provides high-quality nursing care with warmth, respect, and dignity.

I often visit Beenstock to spend time with some of the residents, and every time I’m there, I’m touched by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The carers are always so kind, and the people living there seem happy, relaxed, and well looked after.

For this project, I photographed some of the staff and recorded their thoughts about their work. I then designed these images for Beenstock to use—on their website, printed on the walls, or wherever they choose.

It was a real privilege to hear what the carers had to say. They spoke with so much heart and passion. It’s clear that their work is more than just a job—it’s a calling.

Thank you to everyone at Beenstock for letting me be part of this. You truly make a difference.

Here are some photos I took of Annie Mbako We had such a nice time together, and she wrote me this lovely testimonial.

"This was my first experience of a photoshoot, and Tova really made sure that it was unforgettable! From the moment we made contact, throughout the consultation, the shoot, and the delivery, I felt that my desires and aspirations were at the forefront of Tova's mind. I especially love how she spent time getting to know me and my business before ever taking a shot. She also took photos in a variety of locations, both indoors and outdoors, so I had a wide variety to choose from in the end. I felt really comfortable in Tova's hands, and I would definitely work with her again."

Thank you, Annie!

Don’t you just love flowers? I do.

I was in for a real treat when Devorah scheduled a product photography shoot with me, because she brought the most beautiful flower arrangements to my studio for me to photograph. It was worth it for the smell alone! And the colours were fabulous!

Devorah is opening a new flower business and she wanted to take pictures to be able to showcase and advertise her new business.

Devorah’s flower arrangements are so beautiful; they range from classic to modern, with each piece having her signature unique style.

Do you have an original product which you would like to advertise? I would love to help you showcase your products in the best possible way.
