Chani was incredibly friendly and professional throughout our cake smash session. She really captured the personality and cheekiness of our daughter. She made the whole family feel comfortable in the photoshoot as well as being completely relaxed and offering advice when choosing images afterwards. She created the most beautiful photographs and slideshow for us to look back on as our daughter grows up. Fantastic high quality photographer!
