Fiona did a 45 minute family portrait session for our family of 7 adults (and a dog!) at Sandy Balls holiday park in October. Fiona was very professional but friendly and made us all feel at ease. Communication was easy, pricing was fair and transparent, the photos are fabulous and we would definitely work with Fiona again. Highly recommend!

Joshua had a difficult birth and hasnt been a settled baby - he wont lie on his back, is easily startled, doesnt sleep much in the day, and loves to be held all the time. I didnt know what to expect when we had his photos taken at 6 weeks. But Fiona, being a baby whisperer, managed to work her magic and capture gorgeous, mesmerising images of our little one. Absolutely enjoyed every minute of the experience. Thank you very much!

Really pleased with my business branding photographs. Fiona did a great job, especially with someone that hates having their photo taken. She took the time before the shoot to understand what I wanted and the style of my business. I'm delighted with the results. People have commented on how relaxed I look. I now have everything I need to market my businesses with a consistent and professional set of images.

We have had all 3 of our maternity and newborn shoots with Fiona (2014, 2017 and 2019). She is so professional, yet friendly and we always have felt at ease whilst at the shoots. Afterwards we are then given a wonderful selection of images to choose from, each one more beautiful than the next. Our home is an art gallery of Fiona's work as we have so many on display. We want as many people to see as possible. We would definitely recommend Fiona to anyone considering a shoot. Thanks again Fiona.
