“Last week my partner and I took her 1 year old daughter for a photo shoot. It was the most incredible experience ever! Dave and the team were very friendly and super patient with us and the baby. They had different props and backdrops to work with and were happy to try them all to get that amazing shot. We were able to squeeze in multiple outfit changes (luckily the bub was willing to play along). I can’t recommend Avalon City Imaging highly enough and we will be booking in for a couple’s shoot very soon!”
“Avalon City Imaging is fantastic. I have visited their studio three times, and always left very happy with my beautiful photos. Dave is a brilliant photographer who is passionate about his work. Will be in again sometime soon, thank you guys!”
