I had a photoshoot with Michelle for my business website. Michelle put me at ease straight away, her photoshoot setting is very relaxed and she is so patient to get the right shots. I was after some formal and informal pictures and Michelle has delivered on both giving me plenty of portraits to use and select from in a formal setting and out in nature. Thanks so much, I will definitely be recommending you to my friends, family and colleagues. Sue More...
