Beautiful baby face experience

When we booked our little girls photoshoot we did not know what to expect, not only were we worried that as a 3 year old she may not ‘perform’ on the day, but with the pandemic we were also apprehensive about being in the studio with her. That soon changed when we arrived. We were… Read more “Beautiful baby face experience”

Absolutely fantastic photo shoot.

Absolutely fantastic photo shoot. Simon was fabulous with Milo and really put him at easy with toys and treats. Wow, what can I say the photos are amazing and so many people have asked where they were taken. Can not recommend Simon highly enough. We’ll be back and thank you once again. A beautiful pup!

Stella’s 14 weeks Puppy Photoshoot

The Studio is in a beautiful setting near the Ellesmereport Boat Museum. Simon greeted us at the door. Stella was a little shy at first but was given plenty of time in the waiting area to settle and get to know Simon before going into the Studio. Here she was curious and Simon created different… Read more “Stella’s 14 weeks Puppy Photoshoot”

I can’t recommend Simon enough, especially for his portrait photography.
