We had a family shoot with our 2 boys, 3yrs & 6mths. Andy was welcoming and professional allowing the children plenty of time to relax and get used to the environment. The shoot was fun and entertaining with lots of attention given to the children. We never felt rushed and were able to capture all the shots we wanted. More...

Our recent experience with Andy was excellent. I was initially apprehensive about having photos done in a professional studio, but it was easy to warm to Andy as he is relaxed and made the experience fun. Highly recommended

Wow what a lovely experience! I took my family consisting of 4 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs ( I don’t think I could have made it more complicated if I had tried) For anyone who has small children will totally appreciate getting them to feel relaxed, let alone looking in the right direction and smiling is challenging enough but to throw in the mix my older nan who struggles to hear and two dogs. But andy made it look effortless, Thank you for your patience. We LOVE the photos ! More...

Wow fantastic experience! My daughter had a teen model photo shoot. She had her hair and make up done followed by numerous photos of her wearing clothes we brought with us. Andy was friendly and professional making it a fun and enjoyable experience. His assistants were great and friendly too. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone with a daughter who loves the idea of being spoiled, made over and having the most beautiful photos taken. More...

Had a boudoir photoshoot done with Andy. I chose to go ahead with it after a competition was ran as I was lacking in self esteem and confidence. wanted to feel good about myself again. I had a lovely welcome by the team and the make up artist was amazing too and did a lovely job. At first I felt very uncomfortable and awkward but Andy was so professional and made me feel at ease. He took some great photos and ones I will look at to give my confidence a boost whenever I need to. Perfect shoot and a great experience. Anyone worried or nervous don't be, give it a go you won't regret it :-) More...

I first met Andy in August 2017 when I took my then 4 day old baby boy for a newborn shoot. As I was trying to get breastfeeding established my baby just wanted to be on me all of the time. Andy was fantastic with this and amazingly patient letting me and my boy do our thing. We got some beautiful shots done and the photos were perfect. I purchased the baby’s 1st year package so took my boy back again last Christmas for a fantastic shoot and back again for a 1st birthday cake smash shoot. All three times I’ve gone with bags of props and Andy loves it when you go with your own ideas. I have loved the whole experience and would do it all again. Andy provides a fantastic no pressure environment and is absolutely brilliant with children. The photo I’ve added was taken a couple of weeks ago by Andy of my boy with all of his 1st year photos.. Perfect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More...

Andy is amazing! My husband and I got a photoshoot voucher as a gift from a friend and wanted to get nice ones of our two young boys which we thought was going to be a challenge! However, Andy was so professional and friendly and knew exactly how to get some fun and lovely pictures of them both and some as a family! We are extremely happy with the photos and can not wait to hang them in our house. More...

I went to Seven Springs Studios for a photo shoot with my boyfriend and my cockapoo Bentley and was amazed at how Andy got the most perfect pictures and made it look so easy! Trust me it wasn’t easy with a bouncy dog who wanted a treat every 2 seconds! I am so pleased with the pictures I have chosen and can’t wait to see them printed! Thanks Andy!

I had an amazing time at the photo shoot. Andy was relaxed and informal, which in turn relaxed me. When the photo's were ready for viewing, there were two or three that I really liked, but I asked Andy if he could do some small modifications on them, which he did!

I purchased a Couples Photoshoot voucher as I’m usually the one taking photos so my husband and I have very few photos of us together, and we weren’t disappointed. Andy was fantastic, he was great fun but professional, making sure we felt at ease and relaxed, and ensured it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! We’ve just been to view our pictures and they were amazing! The only problem was choosing which ones were our favourites! We would definitely recommend using Andy for your photoshoot, you won’t be disappointed! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Creating a situation where you are in the right place at the right time to capture that moment in between shots that becomes something to treasure forever.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What are the photographs being used for ? Printed brochures or packaging or just for online usage. How many pictures do you need.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the fact that every day I produce pictures that are unique. No two situations are the same. So I never get bored .
What inspired you to start your own business?
After working for some top photographers in London and around the world I knew there was no other profession for me.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a wealth of experience photographing many different types of subjects. I will help and advise on all aspects of the shoot from choosing backgrounds and locations to retouching the final images for final reproduction. I am quite happy to be given products and shooting them on my own and sending images via download direct to the client for their approval.
Product Photography
I produce high-quality product shots for use in all media. We provide images ready for print and online usage here at our fully equipped digital studio in Charminster just outside Dorchester.
