As an avid photographer, the idea of paying someone to take photos for me is absolutely absurd…read more However, my first born is growing up so quickly, I could not resist the opportunity to get a few family portraits taken by a professional. I found Christelle via her website, and as they say in the classics, the rest is history. The colour on her photos is clear and crisp, and with a few touch ups, all small human blemishes are a thing of the past. Make up was arranged to attend on site, and Christelle worked really well with my son too. My wife looked beautiful, and all together the photos were good enough to ship them to family all around the globe. I even made one my Facebook profile picture. Christelle is flexible, and she really listens to your concerns and needs. I can recommend this service, and the price is not too bad either.

Increasingly today, we no longer have physical photos, but rather upload them onto Facebook albums…read moreor Instagram (with your favourite filter of course). I was recently at an event where there was a photo booth provided by Photo Booth Fun. You get four shots on your film and then two copies were printed off to keep (or I guess perhaps sometimes depending on the event the hosts may keep one for an album). There was an attendant at the booth to make sure it all went smoothly. I think these are a great novelty and would work really well at a big party, or wedding. They are something different and definetly a bit of fun. I can imagine some of the photos would get pretty entertaining, especially as the night wore on at some events! On their website you'll find all the information on the different packages available.

Alex the owner/manager is a lovely man - he was courteous, responsive to my requests, and not only…read morethat but he took a real interest in the printing I tasked him with (even offering to "help me out" with my project in the future, which was climate change advocacy through Generation Zero). Good location, can be a bit tricky to park close by but the supermarket parks are just across the road, or even better, take the bus (which stops nearby) or walk! Website is pretty basic, but this is offset by Alex "da man" Milford Print. I asked Alex to print and laminate a page for me, and to print another, not super-technical tasks, but his service and engaging manner was quite unique.

I had a photoshoot here a few weeks ago where I was taking photographs and filming for a boutique…read moreand I was so impressed with what we received. For a small fee we hired out a basic studio packed which included some lights, soft boxes and cables. The owner of the studio set them all up for us so that relieved our stress right from the get go. It's a lovely space, really modern and light complete with kitchen, dining room and toilet so it's really easy to spend the entire day there. When we were finished the owner came back to take everything down and we had a good chat to her, she was so friendly and told us lots about the space which also doubles as an event room for launches etc. When the new season clothing comes in we will be back here again to shoot the lookbook, I can't wait! Note they don't have normal opening hours as they open subject to bookings.
