We wanted to have some photos taken of ourselves and our well and healthy 95 year old Grandma. We were all a bit nervous and unsure at first as we didn't know what to expect but Suzie and her team helped us feel right at ease. We were a family of six, from age 6 to age 95 and each of us had a wonderful experience. The quality of the photos were stunning and only took a few days to process. Overall extremely pleased and would highly recommend

Dave Williams is not only a great photographer, but the nicest guy you can meet. He is amazing with kids and really makes people feel relaxed. He is also not pushy at all when it comes to making a purchase and offers a great range of packages to suit your budget as well as staggered payments. Totally recommend them.

Perfect. Everything about the whole experience was perfect. Lovely day out at the wonderful studio. Dave and Suzie were nothing short of miracle workers and get all of us, including baby, relaxed and happy throughout. Highly recommended. And to top it all off, we've still got the pictures to collect!
