Josie took beautiful photos of my two children. They really are smashing and went down very well with the grandparents at Christmas. During the photo shoot Josie was extremely kind and patient towards my daughter and son. We had half an hour with her which was plenty of time for the children, Josie did so well to capture the lovely photos in such a short space of time. I would definitely recommend

Josie was our wedding photographer at Brightwell Vineyard on the 1st September. From the very beginning she put me and my extremely camera shy husband at ease. She seemed to be everywhere at once, totally unobtrusive but having a giggle with all the guests. She delt with our wayward families with professional ease and was so patient and good humoured as she wrangled all our guests into group photos. (We had extremely unruly guests!) And in amongst the pretty pictures and family groups she's managed to slip in some incredible artistic shots. Absolutely stunning eye for lighting and depth. I COULD
