Claire Osterberg Photography

General information

A photograph captures a moment in time for you to treasure, it also creates a link to the past for future generations. It is for these two reasons that my passion for photography began. I am based on the Norfolk, Suffolk border just south of Thetford. Having lived together for a number of years, I married my husband Tony in 2012. We share our home together with our teenage daughter Leonie and our very loveable but naughty dog Maggie. I discovered my love of taking photographs whilst in my previous employment as an RAF Medic. I was serving in the Falkalnds and felt an overwhelming need to capture the sights I could see and the memories I was making, so that I could share them with my family on my return home. 16 years after joining the RAF, I still travel everywhere with a camera in tow (just in case)!! My other interests are travel, I have been to a lot of places but still have many more on the Bucket list. Dance, I love to dance, at my regular ballet lessons, in the kitchen or even when shopping; if the right tune comes on I can't help myself, the foot tapping starts! In complete contrast to ballet my other love is Formula 1, the high octane sport has me on the edge of the sofa shouting at my T.V and occaisionally when I have been lucky enough, at the side of the circuit; and yes for those wondering I am a Lewis fan. It is important to book a photographer that you can be yourself with. The more relaxed and comfortable you feel, the better. I like to let the client choose the style of shoot, be it for weddings, portaiture of lifestyle. If you are more comfortable in a studio setting and being posed then that's what we will do. If however you prefer to pretend the camera is not there, and get on with your daily activities than that works as well. With all weddings I work to the couples personality and request. I can be completely tucked away, with a very natural unobtrusive approach to the whole day. I can pose couples for very styled wedding photos or we can use a mixture of the two styles, to create an album perfect for you.
