Nice to meet you
Welcome to Little Toad Photography! I'm Aurelie, a family photographer in the UK, specialising in outdoor photoshoots across Manchester, Cheshire, and Derbyshire.
My first name is French, it is pronounced O-re-lee. But when you meet me you might be confused by the Australian accent... I grew up just north of Sydney and spent a lot of my adult life there, before moving to the UK.
The story behind my photography career is not unusual these days.
In 2009, when my eldest was still a baby, I took a basic course in DSLR photography and found to my surprise that it came easily to me. This gave way to my new addiction: portraits. But especially family photos.
Over the following two years I trained, practised, researched and studied in my spare time. It all revolved around my son. Meanwhile, his little sister was growing in my belly.
When I felt that I had mastered enough techniques and developed my style, I took a scary and thrilling step into the world as a small (tiny) business.

Little Toad Photography was inspired by my children. Capturing the beauty of their childhood moments gave me the inspiration to start this business. It fills me with great pleasure to now work with patience and creativity for clients across the UK's northwest.
I am based in Marple (Stockport) and specialise in family photoshoots outdoors or at home, and arty studio portraits. I believe in simple pricing that's affordable to you, but also fair to my industry - see my price list for more details on that.
