When Drake suggested at short notice a Easter Monday shoot to follow on from our Epic Good Friday shoot it promised to be too good to miss so I accepted the booking on the spot. By the time the shoot dawned it had evolved into a mini camera club shoot involving 4 very enthusiastic photographers who all competed for my attention like schoolboys. Bizarrely it was the anniversary of my modelling debut which was under similar conditions lol.

Drake was super and ensure I was happy and comfortable at all times and everyone treated me like a Princess and constantly pampered me. As for the shoot it was so much fun that it over ran by a few hours but not before everyone's batteries were well and turely "Flat" lol.

I was surprised and impressed that during the short period between accepting the shoot and it happening Drake had made some amazing personalize "Twiggy" jewellery, "Twiggy" printed tops, mini dress and even a"Twiggy" bikini, something else that deserves mentioning is Drake presented me with an utterly beautiful artwork of me which I intend to frame and proudly hang in my home. Drake is awesome and highly recommended and recieves a Twiggy Trustpilot 5 star rating lol.

I had a super shoot with Drake at his cosy well equipped studio just north of Aberdeen, where being Easter we covered an Easter Bunny theme and a Playboy Bunny theme in line with my part time hostess duties.

The shoot was so much fun it flew past and was sadly over far too soon. Drake was an absolute gentleman and placed my happiness above all, Drake is very polite and maybe a little shy but either way he was super. My feedback would not be complete without giving a special mention to his lovely wife Karen who Drake insists deserves all the credit as she does all the hard work and he only presses the button like a Chimp could do lol.

Had the pleasure of meeting and working with this great couple. Post shoot communications were fantastic, on arrival was met by the Lovely Karen. When in studio we spent some time getting to no one another and going through ideas. Was made to feel very comfortable. They have a vast amount of clothes and props. Through the shoot i was very relaxed and we all had fun, they were so helpful with great direction and lots of advice. I'd highly recommend if you get the chance to work with them. I look forward to working with them again

I met with Drake and his partner for my photoshoot recently, the meet-up was very straight forward and they were generous enough to give me a lift to their studio.

Once I arrived at the studio we spent some time getting to know more about each other and the style of shoots beforehand. We then set out a number of different outfits to wear from a great variety of clothing and jewellery Everything was arranged quickly and I felt very comfortable.

They were both very professional and left me with some great advice to keep in mind. I’m very happy with the results and experience and would love to do it again.

Met for the shoot. Was made feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. Conversation flowed easily and this created a great atmosphere too shoot. Very creative with shoots and also allowed me too express my creative wishes and Listened to me and my ideas. I feel with this photographer you can grow as an artist and a person. Gives great advice for on camera and off. I loved the work that was created and feel they were true to me as a person. I would highly recommend this photographer. Honestly can’t wait to go back down and work with them again. They built my confidence, made me laugh, directed me when needed and tried so many styles. Too the future work to come

Well, I am lost for words! I had the most wonderful shoot today, with the most wonderful couple! I jumped on a train to Inverurie and Karen picked me up very promptly from the station. From that moment onwards I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. They are the loveliest, most friendly couple who are full of ideas and full of knowledge about the industry which as a fairly inexperienced model is useful to absorb. We ran through a good variety of ideas in the 3 hours and I’m looking forward to seeing the shots. I will definitely be planning to with them again and would recommend them tenfold to other models. Thanks again so much both of you for a fun day 😊

I had a lovely and chilled shoot with George and Karen last Monday. Communication before and during our shoot was excellent and they gave very good ideas and directions. I enjoyed the shoot very much, looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended!

Wow! Just had a fantastic shoot with Karen and George - such a lovely, genuine, kind-hearted couple. I was made to feel very at home and they are both so easy to get along with, I have learnt a lot from them just from that one shoot which really helps me as a start up model. Looking forward to working with them again already!

I had my first shoot with George and Karen on my recent tour up to Aberdeen. They were really clear in their pre-shoot comms and let me know what they were looking to achieve with our shoot, which was helpful when it came to packing :) On the day they were welcoming and pleasant to work with, we shot a range of levels from fashion to art nude, with George and Karen providing a range of backdrops and equipment in their home studio and an aerial rig point as well for my hoop! I would be happy to shoot with them again and recommend them to others :)

I had my first shoot with George and Karen last Friday whilst I visited beautiful Scotland. George and Karen were great with fitting around my tight schedule. They made me feel very welcome in their home and I enjoyed the shoot very much. Their studio had some great props which George and Karen had made, the shoot literally flew and I can recommend them to anyone : )

Hope to meet again when I'm back in Scotland.

Best wishes,

Viv.

I had a shoot with PhotoMomento and what a fantastic shoot it was. I was felt welcome as soon as met George and Karen, they made me feel really relaxed. George was excellent at giving direction during the shoot, and Karen putting in the final touches prior to the shot being taken.

Very professional photographer and I am so looking forward to working with them very soon. Very much recommended. Thank you PhotoMomento.

Shot with the lovely George and Karen whilst on my Scotland Tour, I was made to feel very welcome and got along very well with both of them! They make some of their own props for the shoot, which is really impressive and I had a load of fun shooting with them :)

I went away from the shoot beaming, because I had so much fun!

George and Karen are a great team, who love and enjoy what they do

Thank you so much,

Pippa

I had a great shoot with George and Karen on my latest tour of Scotland, it's the first time ever we had shot together but upon applying for my casting call... a few perfect/to-the-point messages later, we had a confirmed shoot to look forward to! :D

The communications from these guys was really good actually, I was shooting with another photographer on the same day in the area who was coming to Inverurie to help me out given my booking schedule and George was helpful with suggesting nearby locations so that there wasn't going to be a big transfer needed of travelling between shoots.

Upon arrival at the studio, Karen was there and ready to help me with my suitcase... the kettle was on and I was shown to the designated changing space for model where I could dump my masses of stuff. It was great through because these guys also had a really cool collection of props/outfits too so it was good fun mixing my floor-drobe with their stuff and seeing what cute looks we could concoct! I felt comfortable and looked after during my shoot with these guys and they explained the sets to me that they wanted to achieve: part commercial/part portfolio images... If there were specific poses they needed this was communicated well and we began nailing the sets with a really fab productive flow. :)

The glam styles where quite pinup-esque and cheeky which I always love doing and is quite a nice change because I get booked for a lot of arty things. Of course we covered some arty ideas as well and in the end, had a whole variety of sets in the bag from a super prolific shoot! It really makes a difference when you can gel a rapport from the start because from their on your working effortlessly as a team and that always brings the best results. Teamwork.

George is good at his stuff and knows his studio well to achieve different moods with the lighting. Looking at the back of the camera was a joy because there were genuinely lots of good images. He'll let a model go through their independent posing regime but also suggests too which gives you this good mix of all creatives working together to get the shots.

I felt at ease on my shoot with Photo Momento and well respected, the time went by really fast and we had a good giggle mid-shoot as well! :D Karen is on-hand to help out like a star and brings the tea top-ups when needed. Really good atmosphere and well recommended! :)

Hey, had a great first shoot with George & Karen yesterday at their studio just outside of Aberdeen. I took along a new model (Hayley) who really enjoyed it & felt really comfortable straight away.

Tips/pointers for Hayley were also really helpful too.

Communication before the shoot was perfect & really helped for us to get an idea of what we needed to bring along.

We felt relaxed, safe & comfortable throughout, we were given outfits & given the option if we wanted to wear them or not (which was a really nice way of doing things).

The time absolutely flew by & we hope to do another shoot next time we are up!

Thanks a million,

Nat & Hayley xXx

I had a shoot with George and Karen last year and it was probably one of the best shoots I have done. It was a long drive but worth it. From the minute I arrived they looked after me making sure I had food and drinks and had everything planned out for the shoot.

Communication was and is still 100%. Not only were they both professional but they created a fun and relaxing atmosphere which is why I am super excited to have contact with them again. Our second shoot is currently being arranged and I am very much looking forward to it.
