We went for a photo shoot yesterday with my 4 month old granddaughter. The studio was lovely and warm and Daniel was absolutely fantastic with her. He knew exactly how to gain her attention with a variety of props and we all felt totally at ease. I would recommend Daniel for any family portraits. We are also hoping to book another session next year outside to include our dogs. A delightful, professional experience – thank you
Brilliant photographer, had 2 shoots with Daniel now, both times felt so relaxed and comfortable. Our recent family shoot was my favourite, Daniel did everything he could to make our little boy laugh during the shoot for those perfect pictures, honestly can’t recommend enough!
Fantastic experience! Perfect balance of a professional photoshoot and a hired entertainer for a 1 year old! Very fun and went a lot smoother than expected with a little one
We went to Daniel for a newborn baby shoot and we also booked him recently for ours daughter’s christening and we can’t recommend Daniel highly enough! He was very friendly and put us at ease. Thank you for the beautiful photos for us to treasure. Matt, Jade & Marnie x
We took our daughter for a photography session with Daniel a few weeks ago. He was as very professional and took great care of her and us, we have some wonderful photos and are very grateful. I would highly recommend using Daniel to anyone.
We came in for a family of 6 photoshoot. Daniel was just amazing, he made us feel comfortable from the moment we got there and took the time to listen to what we wanted. He was very patient with us, especially as we had a 9 week old baby. The whole experience was very enjoyable with lots of laughter throughout and we all commented how fun he made it. We can’t wait to see the photos and will definitely recommend/use Daniel again.
Would highly recommend Daniel for a photo shoot. My little one is very nervous in new surroundings and meeting new people. He was very understanding and took his time and she soon came out of her shell while claiming all the bells for herself. So comfortable. Will definitely be rebooking in the future 😁
Had a great time at our photoshoot! Daniel was well prepared for our shy one year old and had her smiling and enjoying all the attention in no time.
I had a photoshoot with my family 2 adults teenager 2 1/2 year old and 14 week old. He made everyone feel.so relaxed and welcomed. He didn’t rush and took his time. I would highly recommend.
My daughter had a photo shoot with Daniel and was really nervous about it. We needn’t have worried, Daniel was so friendly and entertaining that she forgot all about her nerves and had a great time. Would highly recommend him and we are looking forward to seeing the images
