I have been twice now (mother daughter makeover and family photo shoots) and on both occasions it has been worth it! The team are brilliant and I can't think for the life of me the name of the woman who took our photos.she is awesome! I had a very difficult to work with 5 year old, my whole family and a dog and she nailed it. The options for prints are great value for money, there's no hidden costs/pressure to buy - a truly great experience and will definitely be booking again. Thank you

Mike produced a fantastic photo DVD slideshow for my husbands 50th birthday. It was better than I could ever have hoped for. Mike was easy to work with from a distance (Im in Scotland) he was really helpful, generous with his advice and patient with my changes of mind. The end result was brilliant and a much enjoyed end to the day - and has been enjoyed multiple times since the birthday.

Really nice place, although it was quite difficult to find. It's tucked away around the back of a large building and they can't signpost unfortunately. The photographer was amazing, super patient and made the entire process very enjoyable. The main downside is you get 2 of the same picture for the price you pay, and extra pictures are quite expensive.

Fantastic and friendly. The photos of our dog are absolutely beautiful (she is the cutest TBH ). The studio is great and very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, both lady's are lovely and helpful. Mike showed us the pictures taken in a very comfortable room and he was so helpful at choosing the photos, and not at all pushy or persuasive. A big thank you.and will be highly recommended from Pauline, Barry & Amber

This is an amazing place to have your baby photoshoot done. The photos are amazing. My little girl had three sessions through a year and I couldn't be happier with the photos. :

Absolutely over the moon with our family photos. And Mike was so patient with us as we really struggled to choose which ones we wanted in our package. Thank you so much.

My daughter and I had our photo experience 2 weeks ago. Wendy, the photographer was absolutely brilliant with my little girl (who can be quite shy with strangers) and we had a lovely afternoon! Today we returned to see out pictures and they were absolutely amazing! Mike was a lovely guy who explained everything to us and give us his own opinion when we were struggling to decide! From start to finish the communication with Hazel and the professionalism from all the team has been fabulous and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company!

We called in with our 6 month old daughter Scarlett for family fotos, we had a brilliant experience, very professional. And when we called in to view them Mike didn't rush us went through all the pictures, no pressure selling, and we were very happy with the framed family pictures we have displayed in our living room thanks again Mike and Hazel
