“The thought of doing a photoshoot made me nervous but you made us feel comfortable and at ease. Doing what we just normally do, we were able to enjoy without any stress of being anywhere or doing anything at a certain time. We really loved every minute, especially the photos! They captured us perfectly.”

We knew we didn’t want to go down the staid studio route and your documentary approach really appealed to us. Your calm manner put us all instantly at ease! Within no time the kids were relaxed and playing, and we had a really enjoyable time doing lots of activities. The pictures were exactly what we hoped for, capturing personalities and memories, not just poses. They are now hung in our living room, capturing us as a family.
