Lovely studio, lots of props and calming atmosphere, well equipped for a comfortable enjoyable session with us and our newborn. Jayne was very gentle, patient and accomodating and was able to bring out the best in our baby (and pass on some tips for keeping her calm!). There were so many lovely pictures in the set and it was a difficult task to choose the ones we would take away. Kevin helped us through the process on a big television in the comfy lounge area and was able to offer a wide a range of ideas for the photographs and presentation options. Our pictures arrived quickly and exceeded our

Kevin is a great photographer with the finished product and whole experience. We had several shoots of baby photos at 4-17months old, he was so great with my little girl, you can tell he has experience with dealing with young children. The shoots were quick enough to get all shots before the tantrums came but not rushed. Great equipment and props. Also great communication, over lockdown we had to cancel two shoots but he made contact as soon as up and running again. Don't think I could fault any of it. Highly recommended.

The photos lighting was all wrong, dark shadows over our faces in every photo. We wanted a picture of the whole family for my nan. Only one was able to be chosen at the viewing where the whole family was shown together and in that picture the kids were told to pull funny faces. They managed a print with most of the family in it and a few with 2 or 3 members but all showed poor lighting. No parking available.
