Would not recommend. I arranged this as a present for my mother birthday. Booked in a photoshoot. On that weekend it was raining on and off but we still wanted to go ahead even though we got the impression Elaine didnt want to about the remarks she made about her getting wet. We wanted an outdoor natural photoshoot. Elaine did not give much direction, we basically had to arrange the photoshoot and think of photo ideas ourselves. We was not made to feel very comfortable. We had three children which she wasnt very good with. The whole time we just felt like a nuicence to her. She said the photos would be ready to veiw a few weeks later where we would pay the remainder of the bill as had already paid the majority as a deposit. A few weeks later and we did not hear anything. Elaine was also hard to get hold of and didnt reply to emails or texts. We managed to get hold of her and after telling her and book in for a viewing after letting her know how annoyed we was at the fact that it had taken months. The photo were nice quality but the actual photos of what she captured were not very good and we was very disappointed. We paid extra for more photos as we wanted one of the children jumping in the air ( our idea) we paid the remainder and the extra on top for the children. Another few went by before we could pick the photographs up. In the bundle we purchased there would be a disc containing the shots so we could print them out ourselves or do as we wished with them. Today my mother took the disc into a photoshop in town to be told the disc is blank. All through out this process Elaine has been obnoxious and has not really cared. How she has good reviews I will never know. This was planned as a special birthday present and one which we would remember forever with the photographs to look at with mum and her grandchildren. Instead it has been nothing but stress and disappointment!

Ive had several outdoor and indoor shoots with Elaine and I must say she has been excellent with my two boys. She goes above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. She has all the accessories and props catering for everyone. Id highly recommend Elaine to anyone who is thinking about having photos.

What a wonderful experience to have a newborn session with Elaine! I took my newborn for a newborn session after receiving a recommendation from a friend. Elaine is welcoming, down to earth and professional. She knows what she's doing and does a fabulous job. Elaine encourages you to take 5 and make a cup of tea, while she takes charge of the little one. My little girl was happy being all swaddled up and Elaine makes it all look so easy. We were all made to feel at home and it was such a relaxing and easy process. I guarantee you won't be disappointed with the photos when you receive them! You'll love them so much you won't know how to choose!
