I wanted to have some portraits of my kids when a friend recommended Dragonflies photography as she…read morehad booked them for her wedding and was really pleased with the results. When I looked at the website I was impressed by the photographs and how professional the site looked. I left an email which outlined what it was I was looking for and was pleased to receive a call from Clair that evening. Clair was really friendly and happy to answer any questions. The consultation was held at Clair's house, although I was offered a home visit, which was very informal and relaxed. Clair offered lots of suggests about what types of photos we could have, for example, the photos could be done outside or inside at a location of our choice. On the day Clair was very relaxed and patient with my children and made sure it was lots of fun for them, my daughter loved the bubble machine. What impressed me was that at no time did the process feel rushed and I felt the Clair was enjoying herself as much as the children were. I received the photos 10 days later, which during that time I was in constant contact with Clair who was happy to answer any question and kept me up to date on when the photographs would be ready. When I received the photographs I was really pleased with the results and I felt that Clair was genuinely interested in ensuring that we were happy with the results and gave a professional and friendly service. I would recommend Dragonflies to anyone.

I am very very impressedwith Venture! The photographs are stunning,there is no other word to…read moredexcribe them. Yes, they are expensive, but you are buying something which duobles up as a piece of art. There are other places that do similar things for cheaper, but 9in my humble opinion) they arent as nice. There are always deals on, we got our shoot and a photo for a measly £25. There is an option to use the value of the photograph you get free £100) towards something larger is you wish. Not bad, I think! The photographer called a few days before the shoot to introduce herself, have a natter, see what we are like, what we wanted and make some suggestions. she was amazing. Its somewhere I will definately go back for, maybe for a special occasion or as my daughter ages. But definately worth another visit!

Purchased a couple of vouchers from Wowcher for this company also calling themselves…read moreSmileyhippo.com. Vouchers were £10 for a 40 page photobook and postage at £5.95 for 5 days delivery. Website states courier delivery is £10.95, when I placed the order for the first photobook using the voucher (and I only opted for a 20 page book as opposed to 40 which is what I could have ordered) the confirmation said delivery would be 9 working days. When I queried this they said I had to send them a copy of the voucher. Over the next day or so I went back and forth with them and they said they couldn't honour the voucher and I could pay extra for the 5 days delivery, when I queried how much this would be they said another £15 on top of what I'd already paid, so basically their website has incorrect information and they don't honour the vouchers from Wowcher. I asked for a refund and now I don't even have enough time to order the photobook from elsewhere in time for the event it was intended for. I'm very shocked and annoyed with this poor level of service and wish I'd stuck to my tried and tested photobook sources in the first place rather than give this shoddy company a chance. Oh and did I say how slow the smileyhippo.com software was when I was creating my photobook? What a waste of over 3 hours!

Creative project for January: compile photo book for two other girls who were on my Gokyo Lakes…read moreand Everest Base Camp trek at the end of last year. Outcome: 3 x groupon vouchers to an online photobook printer, Smiley Hippo. Stars for name = 5 The Smiley Hippo OS was easy to download and to learn. It's very intuitive and I picked it up very quickly - some things are harder to do than others but, if you're used to working with different systems, you'll pick up this software very very easily. There was one thing that did prove difficult and I did have to find a way around it, rather than being able to figure out how it worked/was meant to be done, but I was still able to overcome it, so User-friendliness = 4 The ordering process was then interesting.....I wanted to order three of the same book. When I had started up my project, there hadn't been an option for "Groupon A4 picture book" so I had clicked on what I thought was the appropriate book and it turned out this was incorrect. Customer Service, however, was very helpful. I did have to ring a number of times before getting through (the line was busy) but this might be the case with any printing service who is busy and, on subsequent calls, I got through straight away. Customer Service = 4.5 The ordering process online = 3.5 because of the slight problem with the coding, but also because I wasn't able to simply order three of the same book using the vouchers and had to order each one through a separate process, which took longer and also meant paying three lots of P&P - which isn't much considering the discount on the books but it's also going to be a bit annoying if they don't fit through the letterbox and I have to collect them from my "local" apocolyptic industrial estate Post collection depot. Once it was all finished, it was all quite easy and I love how my book looks. I'll update when I have the real thing in my hands but, for now, this process was relatively easy, straightforward, and has made me want to make another book with more of the photos! So, overall, a genuinely smiley hippo; creative project for January = done!
