We had a family photoshoot as a present from the grandparents for our 7 month old son. We had a fantastic morning, Mark was great with our son in getting his attention and keeping him engaged, and made sure it wasn't too awkward for the adults (for those of us less inclined to pose). All of the photos looked great, and made it hard to choose which ones to get printed!

I had a wonderful time at Ashworth Studio. I'm so happy with the outcome of the photos and would defiantly recommend them. Mark and Kerry are very considerate and make you feel very comfortable all the time of the shoot. Thank you very much :-)

Mark took time on the phone before our session to give us advice and make sure he understood the family groups and what we wanted from our session. He kept it fun with the kids and was very patient, working with a 2 year old toddler and a 7 year old with additional needs didn't phase him at all! the whole session was relaxed and enjoyable. We are really pleased with the finished product.

My husband bought a Family Photo session for my birthday. Mark (the photographer) was very professional and easily predicted the behaviour of 4 years old. He made us laugh many times. I love all the pics, and later I could not decide which ones to choose! Overall, I am delighted with the experience! Definitely, recommend to everybody!

We were bought a family portrait session for a present and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon at the Ashworth photography studio. Mark was great and had fantastic patience with our 5 month old that enabled some beautiful candid shots to be captured. We loved all of our photo's! Thank you very much for a great experience.

Mark recently photographed our family in a studio session and captured wonderful images of everyone, including our 4 granddaughters aged 3 and a half down to 7 months. He put everyone at ease, was lovely with the children and captured images that are so natural and typical of all of the girls and their parents. The hardest part of the session was choosing the best photos as they were all so good.
