Well, what a fantastic experience we had with Kerto! We were one of the ones picked in the model call and i must say i would of been more than happy to pay for the experience! Kerto was amazing with my little one, Bandit. Despite him being a bit shy with new people she let him take his time to investigate the surrounding and herself and once she gave him a squeaky ball they were friends ????. She was amazing in studio, letting Bandit take his time and having a great eye for the fantastic shot! You walk into Kerto’s house and feel instantly welcomed. She is certainly not pushy to buy anything and is also very helpful when in does come to buying any of the photos. Overall a very lovely woman, with a fantastic talent providing an amazing service, i would recommend Kerto to anyone who is looking for pet photography. Thank you Kerto for the images of our little man which we will treasure forever! ❤️ More...

I stumbled across Kerto studios on Facebook one day and was simply blown away by her photos! Kerto is an amazing lady! She is welcoming, talented and very professional! Nancy felt at ease in her lovely studio at home! Nothing was ever too much for Kerto and made sure Nancy (my dog) was always happy and given breaks! The photos came out AMAZING! There was a HUGE variety of photos which captured Nancy’s personality completely! I highly recommend Kerto and I will be forever grateful to her for capturing the most beautiful pictures of my dog!

My photos are absolutely beautiful! Kerto is a wonderful artist with such a great eye. The studio is easy to find, set up well with lots of different props. Kerto was so calm with my dog Dolly (only 2 so can be quite hyper!!) and the outcome was just fantastic. I would highly recommend to anyone if you want pictures as a gift for someone special or for yourself that you can treasure forever! Thank you Kerto, I’m sure I’ll be back in the future! More...

If you are looking for a photographer who will create beautiful images of your dog then look no further. Kerto has produced some stunning portraits of our miniature schnauzer, Bridget, two of which now grace the walls of our home. They have only been up a day and we find ourselves going into the room just to have another look at them!. Absolutely beautiful. I am so glad I took Bridget to Kerto Studio. Kerto was brilliant with Bridget and made the whole experience really enjoyable for both of us. Would highly recommend. More...

A while ago, Kerto took my son and I to a beautiful bluebell wood to take our photos. We had such a lovely time! My son is 2 and not the most co-operative of toddlers, but Kerto was incredibly patient and the whole shoot was very relaxed. The photos were gorgeous and it was so hard to choose a favourite! Kerto really knows her stuff and is very versatile in her styles of shooting photos and use of locations and lighting etc. She had already photographed our sons christening in Sep 2015 and we've just booked her to photograph our wedding in May 2018!

Kerto is such nice person and a big professional, we're so lucky we met her one day. Her photos are incredibly expressive, Kerto feels the light, she just literally catches the play of sun rays and shades and probably the wind and knows how to turn it into the magic you can see on her photos. I felt very easy and relaxed during the photo shoot because of Kerto's easy-going personality. Thank you so much, Kerto, it's real pleasure to deal with you! More...
