It was our second time visiting model portfolio photography and the experience with John couldn't have gone any better. Our kids (3yo and 7.5mo) loved the experience and it's a great way to build ever lasting memories.
If you are looking for a photoshoot experience we highly recommend John.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review Patricia, it was great to see you again today & meet your son & to see how your daughter has grown since you last came in. Always a pleasure!

Shrey (Shrey96)
Had a fantastic experience shooting my first portfolio with John at Model Portfolio Photography UK. He was very professional, gave the right direction during the shoot, and made the whole process comfortable and smooth. The photos came out clean, high quality, and exactly what I was looking for. The turnaround was quick, the guidance was spot on, and overall it was excellent value for money. Highly recommend to anyone starting or updating their modelling portfolio.

Booked an appointment for my 16 year old son for his birthday. Great experience from start to finish. John was really helpful when I booked explaining what would happen on the day and what clothes to bring. Really friendly and relaxed atmosphere, my son had a great time and felt at ease, chatting throughout the session. John was very helpful and gave us some great advise and a list of agencies to contact. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again.
Response from the owner:Thank you Sue!

Alison Parfitt
What an incredible experience my young daughter just had being photographed by the lovely John. She was instantly at ease in John’s presence and his years of knowledge and experience in the field was evident right from the start. He gave excellent direction throughout the shoot, made it really fun but most impressively he happily encouraged my daughter to show off her own poses and got the absolute best out of her and the time we had. The pictures are stunning and he caught every last pose/expression. The internet does not lie, John is THE BEST. Very reasonably priced too for such a high skillset which is an added bonus! Thank you so much John, we hope to be back again :-)
Response from the owner:Thank you Alison, I really do appreciate you taking the time to review me & my business. Your daughter was amazing to work with for such a young age & it's always great to see & hear that kids enjoy their time in the studio. If you need any help with regards to child modelling & agencies then please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks again, John :-)

Crystal Dill
What a phenomenal experience it was to work with John (owner/photographer) of Model Portfolio Photography. John captured so many amazing images of my daughters (aged 17 and 5) who are interested in modelling. Upon arrival at Model Portfolio Photograph, we immediately felt welcomed and at ease as it is obvious that John has several years of experience in this industry. John shared valuable information about the modelling industry, which I strongly believe will significantly reduce the risk of us being scammed in the future. John was able to provide age appropriate instructions for both of my daughters, which resulted in him capturing so many stunning images. I highly recommend Model Portfolio Photography...you won't be disappointed!
Response from the owner:Thank you Crystal, it was a pleasure to meet you all yesterday in my studio & I look forward to hearing how both girls get on. Thanks again. John :-)

Fantastic experience for my daughter’s first photoshoot. We were made to feel welcome and at ease instantly and had a great time and a few giggles. The helpful advice and support given was professional and relevant and we love the photos they are so natural and capture my daughter’s essence well. Thank you so much we would highly recommend to others.

Amanda C
My son had his first photoshoot ever today with John as he is interested in modelling, he really enjoyed it, and came away feeling confident. John was so lovely and was really interested in what Brandon wanted to do going forward, he put him at ease and it was nice to see Brandon in that environment and enjoying every moment. I would highly recommend John to anyone or any parent wanting to get some amazing photos of their children, and some tips and advice that John was also kind enough to give, thankyou John from myself and Brandon (and dad 🤣) hopefully see you at some point in the future for round 2 x
Response from the owner:Aww thank you Amanda, it was lovely to meet you all yesterday & Brandon is a great lad & a real credit to you. If you need any help or advice with regards to his future modelling then please just get in touch. Best wishes, John :-)

Wade Eden-Crehan
The entire experience felt very positive and welcoming. The photographer John was brilliant and very professional with his work and always had time to speak to you. The entire photoshoot only took about an hour and a half, despite me having quite a few clothing options to choose from which was brilliant. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for high quality photos to choose Model Portfolio Photography, as I had a great time there.
Response from the owner:Thanks Wade & great to hear you already got signed too! Best of luck mate & hope to meet you again soon. John

We recently had a photo session with our 4-month-old baby, and it was such a wonderful experience! The pictures turned out beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier. We had to reschedule our original appointment, and John was incredibly understanding and flexible about it.

From the moment we arrived, he made us feel so welcome and comfortable. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. will definitely be coming back for future sessions!

Jessica Louise
5⭐️ AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with John for our daughter's photo shoot, and it was truly an incredible experience! As first-time parents navigating the world of baby photography, we were a bit nervous, but John put us completely at ease.

He's not only an incredibly talented photographer but also patient, and professional who made our daughter feel comfortable and happy throughout the entire shoot. The photos are STUNNING - the highest standard of quality that exceeded our expectations in every way.

What really stood out was John’s ability to work with us as a family, offering helpful tips and guidance that will be invaluable as we explore the modeling industry with our daughter. We received the photos immediately, which was a lovely bonus!

We're so grateful for the beautiful memories he's helped us create, and we can't recommend him highly enough. If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares about capturing the magic of your little one's personality, look no further! 💕📸

Thank you so so much John, we can’t wait to work with you again in the future!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Jessica, your review means the world to me & I'm so pleased to hear you are happy with my service :-)

Hollie Douglas
Highly recommend! Today we brought our 2yrld daughter Bonnie for her first portfolio/photos. We were naturally nervous as this was Bonnies first time in front of the camera and who can trust what a 2yrld will do haha. John was excellent, friendly, calm, professional and informative. He was great with Bonnie, our baby Ace and was very accommodating. We aim to get our daughter into modelling/casting and John went the extra mile to give us advice and tips. John had great knowledge and we would happily use John again in the future.
Response from the owner:Thank you Hollie, fantastic fun shoot with Bonnie earlier this week. Best of luck with it all. John :-)

Response from the owner:Thanks Honor, I really appreciate the review :-)
