Studio Portrait Testimonial - Karen & Chris

Emma had previously covered friend’s wedding. I liked the laid back, friendly attitude of the photographer and finished images.

The shoot was relaxed and good fun, but the images were still really good quality. I am happy with the images, there are too many to choose from!

Best bits were good quality images, competitively priced, friendly relaxed environment and good communication.

Thanks so much. We will be back in the future when the kids are a bit older.

Studio Portrait Testimonial - Susan

Emma was willing to meet her customer needs, which is greatly appreciated by all of us. No other photography studio was even willing to consider the booking on a public holiday.

A very professional photographer, with an enormous amount of patience. I felt very anxious on arrival but Emma was very relaxed, welcoming and understanding. She very quickly puts you at ease, asking what you wish to get from the session. I was booked with my new granddaughter but my 10 year old granddaughter was with me as well. Emma willingly agreed to take photos of both grandchildren. My two sons and husband also joined the session. She worked miracles as far as I am concerned.

I was looking forward with trepidation to seeing the results of the photo shoot. I was delighted with the overall results but totally enthralled by several individual photos. I chose the coffee table book as I couldn’t pick just a couple of photos. I wanted them all!

I’m delighted to have had the experience of a portrait shoot, especially with the girls. The whole experience totally surpassed my expectations. Thank you so very much.

Studio Portrait Testimonial - Ann-Marie

My daughter and I went for our first photo shoot together with Emma.

The experience was absolutely fantastic. Emma put us at ease from the moment we got there, with fun and laughter throughout, until we left. She is truly a professional in her whole approach from the initial appointment, to the day of the photo shoot, through to the gallery viewing of your day and delivery of the final pictures to you. I would also add her studio is wonderful.

I would highly recommend Emma to anyone wishing to have such a lovely experience coupled with the most fabulous photographs. It truly was a day to remember.
