We had our viewing of our photo shoot today and to say I was impressed would be a complete understatement! Every part of the session has been such an enjoyable experience from the moment we walked through the door we were made feel like old friends. The way both of my kids were treated was amazing (even though the toddler was not being very cooperative) from every member of dermot and Catherine’s team. On viewing the photos today I sat in awe as they have not only captured the beauty of my girls but also their personalities in the photos. My partner and myself were both very close to tears with how beautiful the photos were. We found it impossible to pick only one! I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for the amazing memories you were able to capture and we are super excited to get the pictures on the wall .

What a wonderful experience. Not only were the photos fantastic but from the moment I arrived both Catherine and Dermot made me feel comfertable. Catherine was able to advise me on how to wear my hair to best compliment my face, Dermot was able to take me through the whole process so I no longer felt shy. I would recommomend for anyone getting a head shot or and professionally photos. Thank you both for a wonderful morning and amazing pictures! More...

Dermot and Catherine are not only incredibly professional, but wonderful people. They were extremely understanding and accommodating to our needs as a family at my graduation shoot. Not being from NI and unable to return to Belfast they offered alternative viewing, which was so personal and informative. The end results were beyond what we ever could have expected and we will back. Could not recommend them enough! Thank you! More...

My almost 5 yr old loved her time in Dermot and Catherine's studio. She was treated like a Princess from start to finish. The entire hour flowed very natually and I've no idea how they did it ; but they managed to get her to sit still and pose beautifully. It was fascinating see them gently bring out the best in Erin.

The end results were some stunning photos which I can't wait to call and collect.

I could not possibly fault the staff. They were so attentive towards my boyfriend and I, as well as making sure that our new born was as comfortable as possible. Catherine couldn't help but fall head over heels to make sure he was happy and that she got lots of cuddles too. I really would recommend them to anyone as when the wee man was unsettled after she shoot and wanted cuddled and fed they allowed us to use their office because they had another client in and so he was warm and toasty as well as comfortable. I saw the photos that they are able to produce and cried upon viewing them as I now know I'm going to be able to make the memories of the photo shoot and my baby being that small, last a life time. I couldn't thank them enough. From both myself, Ralph and baby Isaac. More...

A studio where you can the results you want and your ideas are taken on board and made a reality with no pressure at all , so for anyone especially people having their children's pictures taken and are a bit hesitant about the whole thing as a lot of us are about people poking prodding and annoying our children I can honestly say it is nothing like this! ! It feels like visiting a family member and I can't recommend them enough the quality off work matches their personality and people skills "Amazing" More...
