I needed a new head shot for the editors’ note of my magazines and also a profile picture for my new website. Kim’s studio is in a stunning location and has a lovely atmosphere. Not being comfortable in front of the camera I am so glad I booked a session with Kim.  She instantly made me feel at ease  and even came up with a technique that stopped me from tensing up when looking into the lens. I am extremely pleased with the results, I came away with professional looking images that actually look and feel like me. I thoroughly recommend her headshot services for business.

Kim took photographs of my husband and I. Her calm and professional manner made us feel really relaxed. We were delighted with the photos when we saw them!

Kim and I have worked together on many occasions, I have always found that Kim is professional and easy to work with as she is always very clear on what image she wants to portray, this is great especially for those who are new to modelling (like myself)
All the images I have received are always fantastic, Kim is a lovely lady who I would recommend to work with and can’t wait to work with again myself.

We recently up-dated our website and instructed Kim to undertake all of the required photography. I found Kim to be very personable,  the service provided was fantastic and we are delighted with the end result. This included, head and footwear shots and we have had many compliments on the quality of the website photography. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kim to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

Over the past year I have done some lovely photographic sessions with Kim.  I am always so impressed at how motivated and encouraging she is, and how she is able to communicate and pass on her knowledge so clearly.  She loves teaching and this is so obvious when you spend time her.

I approached Kim when I needed new headshots for my work profile, before the day of the shoot Kim provided some helpful guidance (none of which had crossed my mind!) really showing her expertise and commitment to helping me get the photos I wanted. Despite the fact I do not enjoy having my photo taken Kim made me feel relaxed, she was professional, personable and provided clear guidance which helped the whole process go smoothly. I am so pleased with the final product I have even arranged to go back for a couples shoot with my partner!

I recently attended an onsite 1:1 course with Kim to give me an introduction to Studio Lights. Kim was more than happy to make the trip to Reading RFC, a venue of my choice, as this was where I hoped to set up a pop studio to raise money for the club. Kim’s extensive knowledge ensured I understood how my eclectic collection of lights and modifiers could work together and guided me step by step through the lighting functions and set up. Kim allowed me to work at my pace gently coaching me through my mental blocks ensuring the knowledge would stay with me and I could take on future challenges with confidence. I found Kim easy to talk too and created a safe environment where no question was too stupid, patiently waiting for me to work out what I was trying to ask. I found this communication style extremely helpful as it allowed me to go back over the set-up time after time to reinforcing my understanding and expose the steps that I was struggling to understand.
I found the session extremely helpful and thoroughly recommend Kim for anyone that wants to improve their skill.  Since being on the course I have the knowledge and confidence to purchase lights and accessories and feel I have a core process that I can use to help me stretch myself further.
Thank you Kim and for all the support since.
