“I can’t recommend Pop Studios enough. From the first phone call to making the appointment, to arriving for the shoot and to viewing the photos after the shoot the staff were all so lovely and welcoming. The day of the shoot was great fun, Lottie was fantastic with our son, really put him at ease and he absolutely loved doing it. The photos are amazing too.
