We really loved working with Peter and the photos of our newborn son are absolutely amazing! The studio has a really relaxing atmosphere and Peter was so experienced in working with infants - allowing lots of time for feeding and calming the baby down to get the best photos. Thanks so much Peter and we look forward to working with you again!

I've had various phootshoots at dumbletons over the last 15 years and most recently for my babies. The photo's are second to none in quality. Peter is excellent at making you feel comfortable and capturing the perfect shot. After trying other photographers. I'm happy to say I'll always go back to dumbletons time and time again. Thank you for creating beautiful photo's that adorn every wall in my house and look forward to creating more in the near future.
