"We recently had a newborn shoot with our 11 day old. We were incredibly impressed with both Allan and Diana and the way the shoot ran. They were patient and relaxed and we ended up with some amazing shots that we will treasure forever. The attention to detail was fantastic and Allan really listened to what look we wanted to achieve. I cannot recommend the newborn shoot enough, everybody says you forget how little they are when they are newborn - what better way to remember!"

Allan is an excellent photographer who is very professional ,personable , has a good eye for a photograph and gets the best out of his subjects . My children are teenagers and very self conscious , yet it was difficult to make a choice between all the wonderful photographs he took ! Would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for some family photographs and will be back for my daughter's prom photos next year "

"Allan is by far the best family photographer we've had the pleasure of working with. Not only does he produce great studio images his location shoots are amazing. I am particularly impressed with the fact that Allan is a true photographer. His images are flawless from the point of shooting. No need for an endless time of computer editing producing retouched and over produced outputs like many photographers around! Absolutely recommended!"

"I’ve had photo shoots with Allan both on location and in his studio. They were great experiences, especially out on location. Allan was superb with my daughter and he built up a good rapport with her before he started photographing, which certainly made everyone feel more relaxed. My daughter absolutely loved it and thoroughly enjoyed being the centre of attention in front of the camera. Both Allan and Sharron were very professional and friendly throughout each photo shoot. I’ll be going back for more photos soon!"

"My husband & I recently had a studio photoshoot with Allan and we are extremely happy with everything. We have to say Allan is a fantastic photographer his quality & talent speaks for itself. He was very patient with our little girls and his warm friendly manner put them at an instant ease. A massive thank you must also be said to his wife Sharron, without her help in the shoot, we would not have the fantastic photos of our girls. Thanks both - The Morris Family."

"I recently had the children's photographs taken by Allan with the help of his wife Sharron. They were very patient with my disabled daughter who struggled with the lighting. They managed to take lots of perfect pictures a few times with her eye open and it looked natural and beautiful. Where other photographers have not been able to get this as a perfection. I would recommend Allan to anyone that's looking for the perfect photographer. Excellent experience and got more then I would have wish for. Thank you so much to you both for welcoming and understanding my daughter needs."
