"Capturing the moments of today that will wow your heart tomorrow"
Where do I start…
From the moment we walked into the studio to the moment we left we were treated like royalty. I was a little nervous at first wondering whether I was being ‘unfair’ putting my newborn through a photo shoot of this length. However this feeling went as soon as we arrived… you were both so caring, gentle and loving towards us all. I love the fact that you have children yourself and can relate to us new parents.
The shoot was so very sleek and on times you knew what we wanted before we did, which was paramount being a new parent surviving on zero sleep. You honestly went above and beyond.
We loved the modern way in which you worked and no request was to much…. We loved our very own tiktok video, keep doing this it’s fab!
I don’t really have the words to describe how amazing are final products are, they are none other than perfect and we LOVE them. Yes perhaps these are more costly than other local, basic photographers or online retailers and we were told we were bonkers spending so much on photography but the time, effort and quality provided to us from day 1 is worth a million pounds.
We have invested in photography at its best and that’s amplified studios!!
Thank you all.
