At new idol models they treated me extremely nicely being very thorough with how they operated in the shoot. I found they all were very kind genuine people between the shoots as we were having lots of small talk which was nice because it allowed me to fully open up and get into the experience.

Confidence at 45

What a great experience I have had today. Not only was I made to feel so comfortable and at ease but everyone involved were so very friendly.
It has really given me a boost of confidence that was much needed at 45 and also a focus just for me. Can not wait to see what the future holds.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that your first portfolio shoot felt welcoming and enjoyable, especially as we know it can be a little nerve-wracking at first.

We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for another fantastic shoot in the future!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Friendly professional service, a great experience!

I was welcomed outside by Ewa who immediately made me feel welcome and explained the way the session would go. She also makes great cups of tea!
Libby the makeup artist listened to my colour preferences and did a fantastic job of taking it to a better level than I could ever hope to achieve.
The photo shoot itself was with Kirsten, who made me feel immediately at ease both in the studio and outside on location, suggesting flattering poses that I’d never have thought of myself. The time flew by and I thoroughly enjoyed allowing my inner “camera hog” to live her best life!
Then a very comprehensive and empowering debrief with Kimberley who explained all my options and brought the whole experience together.
Totally enjoyable day and highly recommended to anyone who wants to see themselves in their best light.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed feedback! We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your experience from start to finish.

It’s lovely to know that Ewa made you feel welcome right away (and kept you going with a good cup of tea!), that Libby brought your vision to life with your makeup, and that Kirsten helped you feel confident and at ease throughout the shoot—bringing out your inner “camera hog” sounds like a lot of fun! We’re also so pleased Kimberley was able to round everything off with an empowering and informative debrief.

Your kind words mean a lot to the whole team, and we’re thrilled you’d recommend us. We hope to welcome you back again for another fantastic experience!
