Matthew told us, “I want to bring a warm, homely and classy feeling to Christmas photographs during this festive period. So, I’ve reset my studio with the finest realistic backdrops available, along with some fantastic antique and vintage seasonal props.” Whether you want the perfect shots of your little one, a family portrait, or a memorable photoshoot featuring the two of you, these sessions are a wonderful experience to cherish, leaving you with memories that you can hang on the wall. Each session comes with a free magical print and digital file to share with friends and family. Photoshoots are running now until December on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10am, 1.30pm and 5pm.
