THE BEST PHOTOSHOOT EXPERIENCE EVER!!! We booked a family photoshoot for my dads 60th birthday, a family of 6! My dads face at the viewing was priceless - he couldnt stop smiling. Honestly Ian is the best, so professional and made the photoshoot super fun. We laughed so much and had a lot of fun which really came out in the picture. Omg the pictures were amazing. We ended up getting double the pictures we planned cause he captured so many amazing shots. He is now our official family photographer.... simply the best

Origin Studio is the go to place for a relaxed and highly professional photoshoot. I have used this studio on several occasions for both family and commercial shoots and have never been disappointed with the resulting photos.
Ian is an innovative and creative photographer who has an amazing ability to put the camera shy at ease. He works exceptionally well with children too and has produced a wonderful collection of photographs of my son and daughter. I am truly grateful and would recommend him in a heartbeat.
