Simon was so patient when I asked him to snap some shots of my daycare dogs. None of them would sit still at the same time and it took a while to get some good poses! But throughout Simon carried on professionally, and I can't thank him enough. My customers were thrilled with the photos and a couple even bough some for themselves. Thanks again
