''Gorgeous photos that really got our boys personality. David even managed to make his grumpy face look cute! Obviously loves children and interacted really well with boy. The viewing session was really well thought out and he helped up narrow down the photos to our absolute favourites, he is also very well priced in comparison to other photographers and his photos have a bit more of a unique style. Already looking ahead to plan a family photo session at some point.'' KK

''David was lovely and so patient with my 3 boys. The session worked round the boys mischievous nature and resulted in some wonderful images.'' JW

''Lovely natural photos, made my son relaxed and happy.'' JD

''Thanks again for working with us, I am so happy with the trio of baby faces! You were brilliant with the boys and your commitment to making sure we had an image we we loved for all three was great.'' JW

''My daughters where nervous, but David worked with them to make them feel more comfortable. Photos where great, will treasure them. Thank you.'' JK

I look forward to hearing from you and creating lasting memories through photography.

Great question! What to wear for a photo session is an important consideration as it can impact the overall look and feel of your photos. Here are some tips to help you choose what to wear.

1, Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident: It's important to feel good in what you're wearing as it can have an impact on your body language and overall demeanour during the photo session.

2, Coordinate with others: If you're doing a group or family photo session, consider coordinating outfits so that everyone looks cohesive. This doesn't mean you all need to wear the same thing, but choosing a colour scheme or style that complements each other can create a more polished look

3, Avoid busy patterns or logos: These can be distracting and take away from the focus of the photo, which is you

4, Dress for the location and season: If you're doing an outdoor photo session, consider the weather and dress appropriately. If you're going to be in a natural setting, consider earthy tones and avoid bright colours that may clash with the surroundings.

5, Bring options: It's always a good idea to bring a few outfit options to the photo session so that you have some flexibility and can change things up if needed.

Remember, your photographer is there to help guide you in the process, so don't be afraid to ask for their input on what to wear. Together, you can create a look that will make your photo session a success!

Yes, it is possible to bring pets to a photo session, depending on the specific circumstances. However, it is important to consider certain factors before bringing pets to a photo session.

First, it is important to check if the location where the photo session will take place allows pets.

Second, the pet's behavior and temperament should be taken into account. If the pet is easily stressed, aggressive, or uncontrollable, it may not be safe or practical to bring them to a photo session.

Third, it may be necessary to have someone else present to take care of the pet during the photo session, so that we can focus on getting the best possible shots.

Overall, bringing pets to a photo session can be a fun and memorable experience, but it requires careful planning and consideration to ensure that the pet is safe, comfortable, and well-behaved throughout the process.

If you want to bring props, you are welcome to. Think about what is important to the sitter, especially children and more especially to babies

The use of props in a photo session can enhance the visual interest and creativity of the final images. However, whether or not you need props for a photo session ultimately depends on the specific goals and vision of the photo session. For example, if the photo session is for a portrait session, props may not be necessary, as the focus is on capturing the subject's facial expression and personality. However, if the photo session is for a themed photo session, such as a holiday or wedding photo session, props may be essential to set the scene and create a specific atmosphere. When deciding whether to use props for a photo session, it is important to consider the following: * The purpose and theme of the photo session * The style and aesthetic you want to achieve * The setting and location of the photo session * The personality and preferences of the subject(s) Ultimately, the use of props should enhance the overall composition and narrative of the photo session, rather than detract from it. It's always a good idea to discuss the use of props with the photographer beforehand to ensure that the photo session meets your expectations and goals.
