Everything was perfect and even though I felt super nervous leading up to my session, Anna was extremely reassuring and gave lots of encouragement, keeping in contact prior to my session with handy tips about what would be good to bring along. 

It was amazing to talk to Anna before the session began, she made me feel really at ease. Elise on reception was so polite, she got me a drink and took all my things through for me.

Katrina who did my hair and make-up was brilliant. She made me feel and look like a million dollars. She was also very complimentary which gave me a real confidence boost and she was there to help all the way through the session.

When I first walked into the studio in my underwear - I was petrified. But Robin and Katrina made me feel so comfortable, I was actually gutted at the end that it was all over!

I loved my viewing. Walking in to see a whole wall full of my images was incredible. I felt as though I was going to walk in and hate all of my portraits, but I ended up loving 95% of them. The slideshow made me feel so emotional (in a good way).

I couldn't believe that the person I look at in the mirror everyday, was the same person in the photos.

Before this whole experience I had spent 8 years in an abusive relationship, where my confidence and self-esteem were destroyed. On top of having 4 children, I hated looking at myself in the mirror.

I can honestly say that just by coming along to one shoot and viewing my images afterwards have given my confidence and self-esteem a real boost. I honestly didn’t think I could look so amazing with hardly any clothes on. 

I feel amazing in my own skin now. I would love to thank Anna personally for making me feel strong enough to go through with it, without that I may well have bottled it at the last minute. My opinion of myself has changed dramatically and I would love to thank everyone at Smart Photography. From start to finish the whole experience was life changing for me.
