Antje Farmer Photography

I’m Antje Farmer — an award-winning portrait photographer based in Bartley Green who specialises in portrait photography and bespoke maternity sessions. My work is rooted in a fine-art approach: I aim to create images that feel timeless, personal and worthy of display in your home. Whether you’re after an intimate studio portrait, a striking children’s fine-art image or a maternity portrait that celebrates this special chapter, I bring calm patience and creative direction to every session. Why choose my portrait studio? My background in children’s fine art portraiture and family photography means I understand how to work gently with all ages. I take time to get to know you and your story so the photographs reflect real connection and character rather than a posed, one-size-fits-all look. As a member of the Guild of Photographers and an award recipient, I combine technical expertise with an artistic eye to produce images that are both beautifully lit and emotionally authentic. My approach is relaxed and personal. Sessions are held in my carefully styled studio where I use hand-picked props, curated colour palettes and thoughtful backdrops to create a cohesive look. I work at a gentle pace, guiding poses and encouraging natural interactions so you can be comfortable in front of the camera. For maternity sessions I provide elegant couture gowns and simple styling options to highlight the glow and curve of pregnancy while including partners or siblings if you wish. After your session I personally select and hand-edit the strongest images so each photograph reflects the care and craft that went into making it. Clients are invited back to view their gallery in the studio, where we discuss print and wall art options to best showcase your portraits at home. If you’re looking for a specialist portrait photographer in Bartley Green who values artistry, warmth and a tailored experience, I’d be honoured to work with you. Get in touch to talk about your ideas and to arrange a relaxed studio session that captures the moments that matter.
