Easy to contact, flexible, polite and professional service. The shoot was relaxed and fun. The photos were stunning and access to the online gallery was awesome-meaning family could help choose the shots to keep. Much better than the other 2 studios I had visited.

Michael and Marcin are very professional, and both very, VERY patient, which we truly appreciate, especially as both during the photos and viewing sessions, our baby was either fussy and/or hungry all the time 🙂 In the end we opted for one of their digital packages - and the price was very much worth every penny, given the high level of professionalism throughout the process and the excellent quality of the pictures. The pictures turned out to be so beautiful, they are simply perfect for us to share with our beloved friends and family abroad who can't meet the baby just yet because of the pandemic. Also special mention - I particularly appreciated them letting us stay around the café for over an hour while I breastfed the baby comfortably - even though it means they had to stick around and keep the café open just for us. We definitely want to return and would highly recommend to anyone looking for high-calibre photographs! Thank you, Michael and Marcin 🙂 read less

We missed her early newborn session because of the pandemic and lockdown and were worried she would grow too quickly. Not only was Michael patient and friendly but was brilliant in getting our baby to smile and helped in capturing some of her beautiful expressions.
