What people have to say!

The hardest part was choosing the photos!

We are returning customers, having had our daughter photographed some years ago. Now that she is sprouting into a beautiful young lady, we didn't hesitate to book again!

Karen is a delight to deal with, always accommodating and organised. Dean's talent speaks for itself! With lots of Collaborative ideas and with their fine attention to detail, the end result is incredible!

The hardest part was having to choose which photos to pick as they all looked fantastic! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the whole process!

My expectations were exceeded!

I am still living my experience as my pictures start to surface after the incredible day we had taking them.

I'm quite overwhelmed at how my expectations were exceeded .... at how relaxed I was through the whole experience... and at how much faith and trust I felt I could reliably place in Dean and Karen.

At 51 years this was a personal great moment for me.... I felt incredible and I have superb artistic photos that I will treasure. I'm a happy girl!

There are a few words that come to mind when talking about your work - exceptional, perfection & stunning.

Your dedication & commitment when working with Annika was outstanding. Watching the creativity was magic.

Not only did you work with Annie but you listened to her, encouraged & pushed her to get the most amazing photos! You put Annie at ease & made her feel comfortable to express herself.

We were BLOWN AWAY with the end result!!! Thank you!!!

I was made to feel beautiful & Amazing!

I would sincerely like to thank Karen and Dean for the beautiful photo shoot I attended for mine and my husband's anniversary. I have never had make up and hair done before so I was very much out of my comfort zone, to say that I was nervous would be quite an understatement. As soon as I walked in to their beautiful home I was made to feel warm, welcome and comfortable.

The photos turned out better than I could've ever expected and delivered in such a quick turnaround time that I cannot recommend them highly enough. Complete five star rating from me. Thank you so much.

Sammie is your emotional support & will relax you as she snores away in the corner of the studio.

We are full time photographers located in beautiful Bulimba, inner south Brisbane, QLD. We have been producing elegant and tasteful portraits since 2009, and we absolutely love what we do. We feel that we are so lucky to have found each other, and this path in our lives. We love cycling, walking our fur baby Sammie, & spending time together.

Our focus in every session is to get you relaxed and enjoying your session for the very best results possible. Our goal is to craft images that will make our wonderful clients feel absolutely AMAZING. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a massive smile when a client sees their photos for the first time and to be part of a process that allows them to feel more positive, empowered & confident.
