Brilliant from start to finish. Rowan was very welcoming and knew exactly what to do to get the perfect shot, and was great at it. We felt relaxed the whole time and enjoyed our experience, including my husband who isn't a fan of having his photo taken! The set up for the viewing was excellent. Seeing all the photos full size on the wall was great and the slideshow that Rowan created had me beaming.

He had managed to capture our children's personalities perfectly and I fell in love with them. Can't wait to put the photos up for everyone to see. Would definitely recommend.

I have just been to view my photos of me and my children. They are so amazing. They have captured us as a family perfect. From the first point of contact to the very end they have been very helpful and friendly. At the actual photo shoot he was so good with my children, making it fun meaning i now have the best photos I could have ever hoped for. I would definitely recommend them and will be passing their details on to people I know.

We enjoyed a fun & professional photo session with Rowan. The results are really pleasing, capturing us comfortably & at ease in front of the camera, which isn't always easy with teenagers! We will treasure our photos & forever be reminded of this wonderful family time. Thank you Rowan.

Rowan took some amazing photos of our family. He put us at our ease and had us all laughing immediately. He's captured us all wonderfully and our teenage boys will be delighted with their film star looks! He even had tissues ready for the preview. Thanks Rowan.

Rowan Watts was incredible through out our experience with him. From the start he warmly welcomed my family and I into his immaculate studio, and his passsion for photography was easy to see. His charm and humour brought out the best in our 4 and 1 year old daughters and made them feel at complete ease. Highly recommended.

I won a photo session with Rowan Watts after attending a charity ball organised by my work colleague. I took my Daughter, Son in Law and 2 Grandchildren. We had an amazing session and Rowan was great with the kids and put us all at ease. He captured some fantastic pictures which we fell in love with. Very professional and a great guy. Thank you Rowan for the experience.

We went to our family photo session with trepidation as our two children get bored quickly. We didn't need to worry as Rowan engaged with them, put us at ease and made the whole session enjoyable. When we viewed the results, Rowan was very helpful showing various possibilities and even projecting them on the wall at actual size. All I can say about the actual purchased product is wow!
