We had an outdoor family photo session with Polly and to sum it up in one word - fantastic! The session was purchased as a birthday gift in January 2020 and was booked for April 2020, we were unable to have the session in April and it was rescheduled to June. This time one of us was identified as a close contact and had to isolate so again we has to postpone it, it was again re-arranged for the 28th July and luckily it went ahead on that date. During this whole time Polly was so professional and kept in touch regularly. We had met Polly before at a back to school photo session where she captured

Recently had Polly take pictures for my family and I (including our Labrador). They were exceptional and Polly is amazing planning and coordinating pictures before, during and after the photo shoot. Polly takes great care thinking of all the details from location, season, lighting, time of day, and even helping with outfits. The unique pictures and thoughtful details just make Polly the only choice I would ever consider for my family and I could not recommend her highly enough!!!

I asked Polly to do a family shoot (age range 5 to 80) and the whole experience was amazing. Polly really felt like one of the family, so friendly and accommodating, whilst capturing some fantastic shots. Thank you Polly, well definitely be back!

We used Polly for pictures of the grandchildren for a present-this is the third time she has photographed my son and couldnt fault her. She was great at directing all the kids and getting the grown-ups involved to get some lovely smiles out of them! We are all really pleased with the final results and will definitely ask Polly to take more photos of the family in the future.

Polly was absolutely brilliant in facilitating our family photo shoot, which consisted of 5 adults, 3 children and off course our Dog! It took some arranging. Her patience was fantastic right through, as well as on the day itself, with her bringing the best out of us for the pictures. She has been brilliant at communicating throughout and has been very quick in delivering our beautiful pictures to put on our walls.

We had a family photoshoot with Polly on an early summer morning. Polly is super patient, engaging and enthusiastic on the shoot, putting a lot of effort into getting the shots but having fun at the same time. The results are fab and we're looking forward to putting them up and giving them as gifts to grandparents.
