Client Stories: A Paw-fect Experience

Here’s what some of our clients have said about their experience:

• We had a Photoshoot for our 1 year old’s birthday and brought our 3 year old beagle along too. How Graham got a toddler and a dog to pose at the same time, I’ll never know…magic!! The shoot was so much fun and very relaxed and the photos were absolutely amazing. We got a few of them framed and they are very good quality. I highly recommend Graham and will definitely be back! – Sabrina.

• “We had a fantastic shoot with Graham. Our (extremely large) St. Bernard pup probably wasn’t the easiest of subjects and Graham perfectly captured him. We also had a really fun morning at the shoot. Graham was warm, welcoming, fun, attentive and professional and the studio space is gorgeous. Most importantly, the final images are wonderful – memories to cherish for our family. ” – Amy
