"We first met Ian at the Dog Lovers Festival with my anxious pup, Ambrosius. A fantastic find! We have just been to our third photo session and I think Ambrosius is finally warming to Ian, who seems to really capture the photogenic side of this pup. We cannot recommend Ian enough. He is amazing! We will definitely be back!"

From the consultation to the finished prints we were absolutely delighted with the relaxed way everything went, Ian is certainly the man to go to for anything you want photographed professionally. Many Thanks Ian for all you did. It’s my horse to be photographed next when hopefully the weather gets better. Regards Sue, Dave & Macie. Xx"

"Honestly can say the pictures you have done for me over the last two year have been remarkable I love every single one, I couldn’t recommend you enough. Thank you so much... you’ll continue to be my photographer "

Tiffany Ann Wills,

"Ian is an incredible photographer. I love looking at his photos on his site and really loved the pictures he took of my children and me. He came to our house with everything he needed including some great back drops, which was good because we couldn't go out for photos because of the weather. Ian was great with my daughter, who is usually very cautious around adults and new people and hides away. All three of my children really enjoyed having the pictures taken, as well as finding out all about the equipment and photography! We have some beautiful pictures now as well as fun memories of the day they were taken!"

Judith Axelby,

"I had a great photo taken by Ian of my dog at the dog festival this year. He was very friendly and very patient as my dog was a little nervous at the start. I mentioned to Ian while he was taking the photo’s I struggle to see her eyes with her being black. He said he would definitely make sure I could see them. And as you can see in the picture below he did. I would highly recommend this guy and I’ll definitely be having another shoot with him. "

Natalie Loomes,

"Ian is extremely professional and friendly! We have watched him work and used him for our business website launch and couldn't have asked for anyone better! Ian had the patience of a saint with our naughty dogs and helped us out with ideas! FANTASTIC QUALITY FOR GREAT VALUE!"

Francesca Hotchkiss, The Naughty Dog Company

"Ian does the most amazing photos! He’s so kind, caring and patient, will definitely be having my other dog photographed in the near future x"

Louise Bartram,

"Ian is so professional, friendly and patient, putting all in attendance at each sitting at ease. He volunteers his services by visiting our dog rescue centre (Just For Dogs) on a regular basis to take photos of our homeless dogs. We are in no doubt that his commitment to our cause and the amazing photos he takes of the dogs, greatly increases their chances of finding wonderful, forever homes. Thank you Ian!xx"
