  • Martin instantly put me at ease, and had great ideas for my maternity shoot. His talent for capturing people is also complimented by his professionalism, kindness and fantastic work ethic. Martin is such a dream to work with. But most importantly I just love the results, along with the speed in which I was able to look at the gallery. Book in your special shoots with Martin, you really won’t regret it!
