Fundraising photos of children for playgroup. Photos were good but took over 4 months (with numerous emails and phone calls) to get commission cheque. One mum is still waiting for refund 5 months after returning photos. No response to emails, phone disconnected. Still trying to get in contact with photographer.

For my second child, I was referred to another doctor, but there was a four month wait. Dr How was able to fit me in almost immediately. When I told him my due date, he advised he would be away then and gave me the option of choosing another doctor, but I declined.
Dr How was great. His bedside manner and professionalism were outstanding. Answered any questions I had, and always made me, my husband and other child feel welcome and at ease.

Brett was doing the photography for the Sids and Kids charity book "Two & Under" and I registered my youngest son, Dean, to participate. From the minute we walked into his office, Brett and his wife Simone made us feel very relaxed and went through what sort of photo's would be taken. After giving my eldest son, Thomas, a small toy to play with, we went outside to do the photo's. Not only did Brett take photo's of Dean, he also took a couple of Thomas (as he was not charging for the shoot, I thought this was very nice of him). After the shoot, he walked us back to the car park.
When My husband, two boys and I went to see a preview of the shots, I was very impressed. Brett does not use photo proofs. He sets up a slide show, set to music in the viewing room of his office. My husband and I then had the difficult decision as to which photo's we would like. Brett then came up with a package that suited us. He even managed to have them all ready for Mother's Day (which was only two weeks away). Upon collection, Brett carried all of the enlargements to my car as I had my hands full with pram, kids etc.
Brett is an extremely talented photographer who has a wonderful way with kids. Making them feel at ease so he gets the best natural shots possible.

I took my almost four month old son to be photographed (my almost three year old son came along with us). Connie made us all feel so relaxed, and when my youngest started to get a bit grizzly, Connie allowed me to give him a feed while we had a chat and my other son had a play. When we were ready, Connie took more shots of my youngest. My eldest was happy to have a play, and even helped Connie make my youngest smile for the camera. At no time did we feel rushed to get the session finished. We finished when my youngest had had enough. The end results were fantastic.
