My daughter had a portfolio photoshoot with John today and he was absolutely fantastic with her. It was her first time having a photoshoot and he made he feel comfortable straight away. She absolutely loved her time in the studio and the photos are absolutely beautiful. Thanks John!
Jenna Manning
We took our 2 year old son and 6 year old daughter for a photoshoot today with John at Model Portfolio Photography, we had a great experience again as we have been before when my son was just 7 months old. So glad we returned, John was really friendly and made our kids feel really comfortable, making them laugh during the shoot. They had a great time and had so much fun throughout. The pictures are amazing and great price for the amount you get too! I would definitely recommend John and the company ⭐️
Response from the owner:Thank you Jenna, really appreciate the review.

I would highly recommend Model Portfolio Photography. We had the most amazing time at the studio with John and got some beautiful photos!
John made sure we knew what to expect from the session and how to get the most from the experience. His knowledge of the industry and advice he offered on the day were invaluable and we are looking forward to returning to the studio soon.
Response from the owner:Thank you Ursula, I really appreciate you taking time to review.
Jessica Brady
My daughter, (aged 15) decided she wanted to try some modelling and we travelled from East Yorkshire for her first ever photoshoot with John. I'm so happy that we did! He made her feel so comfortable and relaxed. John is knowledgeable in regards to poses and what agencies are looking for, which was really helpful for her first portfolio photographs. He was honest about how her makeup and clothing should look, which was also helpful.

John was kind enough to show us the photos he had taken at the end of the session and they are fantastic. He's a very talented photographer, I would highly recommend him for a model portfolio and would absolutely contact him again for photographs in the future.

Thank you so much, John!
Response from the owner:Thank you Jessica.

Definitely a 5 star experience. John made our kids feel really at ease which meant we got some wonderful photos. He's clearly passionate about what he does and so knowledgeable about the industry.
