I shot with Matt just over a week ago on a Sunday afternoon at my house and it was my first shoot with a photographer since pre pandemic so I have to admit I was extremely nervous. I have some health issues and was really on edge that they might start up as soon as Matt got here but to be honest the minute he walked in, my fears disappeared completely as he is so easy to get on with. He was faced with crazy mutts barking and carrying on and a husband and me and wasn't the least bit fazed so I knew right there and then that he was relaxed and chilled out in his personality and that helped me massively to also relax.

So after a chat and a coffee and when the dogs finally decided to give him some peace! 😆 we got on with shooting and how lovely it was! Matt said he was a bit nervous because he hadnt shot with models himself in quite a while but you honestly couldn't tell. The back of camera shots looked great, he regularly stopped to show me back of camera which was appreciated and we tried different looks, lighting etc and even used my Christmas tree to great effect!

We shot for an hour or so which was perfect timing for me as I was starting to just tire slightly but if my body was willing, I could have happily gone on longer as we were having such fun.

I can honestly say after our shoot (and everyone who knows me knows I don't lie or embellish) that I highly recommend Matt to shoot with. For numerous different reasons, he is polite, well mannered, respectable (didn't turn a hair when my boob made an unexpected appearance a couple of times! 😄), I felt completely safe with him, he's good company, a good talker and he also produces wonderful, inventive shots. I'm not really sure what else anyone could ask for?

And afterwards, Matt sent me a couple of shots that very night then uploaded more to a shared Google drive last week. No chasing for shots with this one!

I'm really looking forward to shooting more with Matt and exploring some ideas we have. I'm half tempted to try and keep him to myself but that wouldn't fair would it? 😄

He's a gem. Thanks Matt 🙂
