Headshot Photo Studios in Birkenhead

What a wonderful experience, Fiona and the Team captured a precious time in our life in the Bump to Newborn photo shoot. They made me feel totally at ease during my bump shoot, it started with a make up and hair session. Although I'm not very confident in front of a camera the professionalism of the photographer made it so easy and felt natural. After our beautiful daughter was born I went back when she was 2 weeks old for her shoot. Fiona listened carefully to my preferences and was extremely gentle and patient positioning her, it was a very enjoyable few hours watching and the photos were absolutely beautiful, presented as a slide show, it was very emotional.
I would highly recommend and I'm sure we will be back to do another family shoot when she is a bit older.

Just had my 3rd shoot at Xposure studios. The girls are really lovely, great with the kids, give great direction and I always get lovely photos to add to my collection. Would highly recommend, especially for maternity and newborn shoots. Thanks to Fiona and the girls! (couple of pre-edited pics added, straight from Fiona’s camera) x

The team are so accommodating as we had a few issues on the day which resulted in us being late. They made me feel so comfortable and glamorous - which is difficult when you’re hot and very pregnant! Such an enjoyable experience.

Had the most amazing experience here for my bump shoot. Laurel my photographer was so lovley and it was amazing working with her. All the team are so friendly and welcoming and the studio itself is absolutely gorgeous. Me and my partner had the most amazing day here and we can’t wait to come back for our newborn shoot. Highly reccomend Xposure as everything was amazing start to finish. Thankyou all so much again, can’t wait to come back soon!

Absolutely fantastic. I am a big girl that was looking for something new to do with my partner and this has been such a confidence boost to see myself in such a way the compliments my shape is mind boggling. To see myself from my partner's point of view and to see him there with me was beyond words. A really special day for both of us. Made to feel really welcome and relaxed. Will most certainly be returning 😁😁

Derya was kind and patient and put us completely at ease in her warm and well set up studio. She managed to get the most perfect photos of our newborn despite his wanting to eat and sleep throughout! The framed photos we have now will be on the walls forever - Heirlooms. A lovely family business, highly recommended

We booked our newborn shoot after looking at the beautiful images on Derya's website- I wanted something that would be simple and timeless and all about Tilly at that moment and that's exactly what we got! The frames and prints are very high quality and look beautiful on our walls! Derya was lovely with Tilly and managed to get lots of different and gorgeous images even though she wasnt a fan of being posed or staying asleep ! I also hate having my picture taken however Derya made me feel really comfortable and positioned me in a way that made me look my best two weeks after having a baby!! I cant wait to book the sitter shoot however may now need a bigger house to fit all the gorgeous pictures in! I would fully recommend the whole experience.

I would highly recommend Derya. We booked her for a family shoot with 4 children two of them only being 9 months and 2 years at the time. She was so patient and engaging with the children. The youngest children soon started to get restless and I was wondering how we would get many decent shoots. When we collected the pictures I was amazed the amount of beautiful pictures Derya had captured to the point we ended up buying some more as we found it hard to choose between them. We will definitely return to Derya in the future for more family pictures.

Derya is talented, caring and professional. She has a wonderful way with babies(and new mums!), and really took care of us along with delivering all the details and ideas we requested.

I visited when my baby was 2 weeks old and it was a joy; a calm environment, beautiful surroundings and nothing was too much. She really cared about all the details - she gave us the most beautiful photos and I can’t wait to book again. Thank you so much Derya.

I have just visited Derya to view the photos taken at my daughter’s recent Cake Smash and Splash session for her 1st birthday, and wow! I am absolutely thrilled with how they have turned out - not that there was ever any doubt as I have visited Derya before to have photographs of my son, so I knew we were in safe hands!

The whole process was so easy. We discussed beforehand the colour scheme I liked and certain requirements I had, like a dairy free cake for my daughter as she has CMPA. From this, Derya then organised everything, so I literally just had to turn up on the day with my daughter, which ensured a completely stress-free experience. Derya went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect and just how I wanted it.

The session started with some pictures of my daughter in a special outfit, which was a really nice addition to the Cake Smash and Splash. Then, when it was time for the Cake Smash, Derya quickly and seamlessly set up the balloons and cake. The balloons matched the colour scheme perfectly, and the cake was not only really beautiful, it tasted delicious too! Despite it being dairy-free, it looked and tasted just like a normal cake, so be rest assured that your baby is in safe hands fellow CMPA mummies and daddies.

Derya then took a range of pictures of my daughter in different positions, from different angles, in various degrees of cake smash messiness, and with a range of expressions - this shows Derya’s skill as not many people can get a smile out of my daughter, but somehow she did!! Derya was so warm and did her utmost to ensure my daughter felt comfortable and happy, including singing her favourite nursery rhymes, which I think enabled her to get the shots she did. Derya even ended up half covered in cake herself, bless her, which shows true commitment!

After this, Derya brought out the cutest little roll-top bath, which she filled with warm water and Baby Aveeno bubble bath, which is great for sensitive skin and yet another thoughtful touch from Derya (though there was also the option to bring along your own if your child is used to a certain brand). My daughter then had a great time splashing around, and once again Derya caught the most beautiful pictures.

The whole experience was fantastic and such a great way to celebrate my daughter turning one. Not only did we enjoy the experience itself and will look back on it fondly, but I have ended up with the most beautiful, high quality photographs to treasure forever. Derya completely understood my eagerness to see how the pictures had turned out so ensured an extremely quick turn-around between the Cake Smash itself and viewing the images. The pictures turned out so lovely that I couldn’t pick just one or two, so I’ve bought the whole lot! There literally wasn’t a single one that I didn’t like!

If you are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Derya. She is very skilled, extremely talented and the consummate professional. She has now photographed both of my children and each time I have been astounded with how beautiful the photographs have been. The pictures really do speak for themselves. Choosing Derya to photograph your children is a choice you honestly will not regret.

Thank you Derya, I’m sure we’ll be back again very soon!!

Easily my best experience with a photographer to date! Leon is super personable and very talented at his craft. He made sure I was completely comfortable and enjoying the experience. There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo that Leon snaps. He has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. Leon is super creative and is genuinely a nice guy. Would highly recommend him to family, friends and business associates.

What can I say, Leon left us absolutely speechless. He brought our wonderful wedding to life. From the very first meeting, to settling the rehearsal nerves, and keeping the bride at ease when her nose bled just before the actual service!
Leon has an infectious, friendly and professional demeanor.
He orchestrated the in-laws into memorable and amazing photos and his incredible second photographer took action shots of the congregation across the day which captured the true essence of the emotions felt by all. They even assembled a surprise shoot for our friends who had not seen each other for years and were unaware of the other attending... Thanks to Leon, we now have that moment captured in photographs forever. Leon deleted no photographs and gave all shots, blurry or clear, to us which enabled us to cherish additional photographs of our beautiful aunt who passed away 3 weeks after.
Leon and Amber entertained everyone and magically reflected their confidence in even the camera shy! They naturally became part of the day.
If you need a wedding photographer (or photographers!) I cannot recommend any one else but Leon and his team!

If you’re looking to get some professional shots taken then Leon is your guy! Leon has been so helpful throughout the whole process from arranging and booking the shoot to being in the studio getting my pictures taken. Leon made me feel really comfortable and relaxed in the studio during getting shots taken as I was a bit nervous at first. The quality of the pictures were absolutely amazing and delivery of them was also really quick. Enjoyed being able to have a look through the shots and choose which ones I liked. So pleased with the overall experience and pictures. Would definitely recommend and also return again when I need to have more taken. Thanks so much Leon!

Leon is great. He made me feel incredibly welcome and listened to my queries as I had never had my photo taken professionally. He creates a fun, engaging vibe during the shoot where you start to gain more confidence throughout the process leaving with exceptional photos. I can not wait to work with Leon again!

Leon is amazing, he understood exactly what I wanted and was able to succeed my expectations. He made the experience so enjoyable and is very professional and talented at what he does. I cannot recommend Leon more he really knows what makes a fantastic picture.

Thank you for the wonderful experience photographing our newborn! We are absolutely made up with all our pictures! Irena is very talented at photographing newborns, keeping baby calm as we watched on in awe! Will be recommending to other new parents. Special photos we will cherish forever.

We had a really lovely newborn photoshoot with Irina. The shoot itself was fun, I enjoyed choosing props and Irina is a baby whisperer! She gave us some great tips for settling our daughter and she even recommended classes for us attend in the area. The photographs are gorgeous, we are delighted with them. We will definitely be going back as our daughter grows.

I had an amazing maternity photo shoot with Irina, which I was a little apprehensive about at first. However, Irina made me so comfortable and captured the most stunning images that I will treasure forever. Thank you for making the whole process easy! You are a super talented photographer and I cannot wait to bring my baby back for a newborn photo shoot soon!

Amazing shoot with my 20month old and 6 week old. Irina made us feel really comfortable and was amazing at capturing our cheeky toddler that can be wild/hard to control and was so amazing with our baby getting him all wrapped up and he slept the whole time! She even managed to get those hard to come by family pics! Couldn’t recommend this company more! So in love with our photos!

Irina was amazing. We had a very grumpy 2 year old as well as his older cousins and Irina knew exactly what to do to get them to sit and have photos taken. Very impressed with my photos and her customer service. I will highly recommend Dreamshot to my friends and hopefully go again for family photos. Superb!

Rory and Sasha are an amazing team. So inviting, kind and talented. I love the way my headshots turned out. Highly recommend if you want amazing headshots that stand out!

Rory and Alexandra made my experience getting my first professional headshots so comfortable and easy! I was a bit nervous going in but was instantly put at ease by their personable demeanor. They're lighting experts and do an excellent job at getting the best out of you. In fact, I liked so many of my raw photos I had a difficult time making my final selections… a very good problem to have! They work very quickly too, I ended up choosing three of the pictures to be edited and they got them done within a few days and I love how they turned out! Thanks Rory and Alexandra!

Please do not look any further or waste your money on any other actor photographers...

Rory is the best and after several failed attempts with actor photographers who never managed to capture my essence...Rory will.

He is absolutely the best !. I got emotional when I saw my pictures, a wizard!.

I want to give a huge thank you to Sasha for he amazing hospitality and assistance thought-out the photoshototing.

You have a new client for life

Thank you so much

Lots love

Laura

Had a fantastic session with Rory. I was put at ease immediately and the shoot was comfortable, relaxed and interactive. Great conversation and fantastic headshots from an amazingly talented photographer. Myself and my agent were super impressed with the results. I could not recommend Rory highly enough.

Rory's work is amazing. I had my actor headshots taken by him and I love them! He is very professional and also really easy going. He gives very clear directions and makes you talk in between shots to help you relax and to get to know you bit more. Alexandra was also very helpful and professional. She sees all the little details and she's trying to be sure that everything works smoothly. Very happy with the results.

We loved the photos from our small wedding ceremony. Dan was great to work with, made everyone at ease and was very open to experimenting with our photo ideas! He advised on how to capture the best shots and even stayed extra time to ensure we got all the photos we wanted. The final photos were beautiful and many! Really great experience.

Very relaxed and productive time with Danny doing headshot session. Great communication throughout the process, quality studio environment, great charm and efficiency from Danny. Rapid turnover of multiple images.
Highly recommended.

Danny is amazing, this was my first time getting headshots and he made me feel comfortable and welcome, love the outcome! Would reccomend!

Dan @ L1 Photography is not just amazing at headshots also show reels and self tapes. He makes you feel at ease and fills you with confidence as per my Daughter

Danny made the whole photography session so easy for my son - he really put him at his ease and got the best out of him. The hardest part of the process has been choosing from the fabulous collection of pics! We are absolutely delighted with Danny’s work.

Brilliant studio! And amazing photographer Thankyou Steve for capturing my brand perfectly I look forward to shooting with you again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Steve at M8 Studios on a new project recently. He was recommended by a friend and he did not disappoint! His relaxed yet professional attitude made a daunting experience very enjoyable. I came away from our meetings feeling inspired by his level of creativity and valued his inside knowledge on various aspects of setting up and branding a new business. His level of interaction, efficiency and responsiveness is faultless. He has been an asset to me already and I look forward to building our business relationship.

What was not to like about my time with Steve! Honestly, I felt so comfortable and ended up loving every single shot that I really have found it hard to pick just a few favourite photos. Steve is so friendly too and I’d have happily stayed in the studio for hours shooting with him. I’ll 100000% be back and would recommend him to EVERYONE.

M8 Studios - Best in the business. Steve is totally professional and the girls always feel safe, confident and at ease on set. We are always absolutely amazed with our photographs, the latest being portfolio shots for some of the dancers. Not only are the photographs always stunning but Steve is always so helpful with the lead up to a shoot, offering amazing direction on the day and a great selections of cookies :) I cannot recommend M8 studios enough. Thank you for all of our stunning images & for creating a safe, positive environment for us to get creative! We will be back!!

This studio is absolutely faultless! Super clean and modern with great facilities. As a makeup artist I always come prepared with my own chair and lighting but this studio already had it all with tall tables and chairs and light up mirrors. Not only is photographer professional and creative, he showed a genuine interest and energy for the shoot! He played music and maintained a happy vibe throughout the full day.
With little extra bonuses like great location and free parking, I 100% recommend this studio!

We had so much fun with our children and grandchildren 10 of us in all at our photo shoot. Simon and his partner were brilliant at getting just the right posses meaning that the final photo/wall art is amazing.
Many thanks to Simon for a beautiful piece that looks so nice on our wall. Definitely recommend Simon.

Me and my dog Twm really enjoyed our time during our photoshoot. Simon was very patient with Twm and was able to capture some amazing photos of us both. Amazing experience from start to finish and the photo results are much better than I thought they would be! Would highly recommend Simon to anyone. Thanks again Simon!

A really lovely experience, and fantastic photographs. Simon puts the whole family at ease, is very professional and ensures everyone has a great time. The studio is beautiful, and the quality of Simon's work is fantastic. Thank you, and we'll definitely be back.

Simon has been providing headshots and other photography for our business for about three years and we have been really impressed with the results. The studio is in a beautiful location, and inside there are loads of amazing pet photos that he's taken. Simon is very welcoming and great at relaxing people, with a cup of tea and a chat - all of which helps produce great-looking pictures! I would thoroughly recommend Simon to anyone looking for high-quality corporate or personal photos.

We recently visited Simon at Downing Lifestyle Photography with our cat Maki.
Wow what an amazing experience with so many memories made i will never forget.

The studio is very safe and secure.
Simon made us feel very comfortable and at ease from the moment we arrived.

Maki was given time to explore his new surroundings making both him and myself feel relaxed. Which made it evident how experienced Simon is.

I honestly think Maki truly enjoyed his time with Simon and his little adventures around the room. He is my little model.

If you are thinking of cat pawtraits, family portraits or any pet portraits I can not recommend Downing Lifestyle photography enough.

A place where memories are made 🐈🐈🐾🐾.
Thank you Simon

John did an amazing job of our wedding photos and we were so lucky to have such a brilliant photographer for our wedding. Not only that he was constantly making our guests laugh and really good fun to be around on the day. Would not hesitate for a second recommending him for another wedding. Thanks again John. All the best, Dan and Fleur

Thank you to John for the most perfect wedding photographs. We first met John when he showed us around a wedding venue and we found his professional attitude, fun personality and high level of expertise in the wedding industry to be very impressive! We booked John very soon after and were not disappointed. John was amazing from start to finish - creating beautiful and creative images that really captured the emotions of the day! John was fab at interacting with guests, made everyone laugh and relax into photos and went out of his was to get to know all of the wedding party to make the experience super personal. John also had loads of tips and tricks on timing (I think I may be one of the only brides to arrive at the church two minutes early), and got our images to us in record time! We would highly recommend John and would like to say a huge thank you once again, we will treasure our photos forever!

Thank you so much to John and James (Studio900), for making our Wedding day (Dec 2022) just magical !

John, you have a very unique and exceptional talent, quite breath-taking to be honest. What you captured on the day, we didn’t think could ever be recreated – but YOU DID PRECISELY THAT !! Every one of our amazing photographs takes us back to those precise & magical moments of our wedding day. It’s a very precious gift that you have, so THANK YOU for sharing it with us and giving us memories we will treasure forever. And to top it all, having you there on the day, taking gentle control, knowing exactly when to guide us, when to make us giggle, when to calm our nerves – you made our day extra special.

James, what you have captured in our beautiful wedding video, is EVERYTHING we could have wished for, and then some! Thank you SO MUCH for what you did that day. You were an absolute star to be around and we really felt that we had a good friend with us, sharing what was a very close & intimate moment – and you captured it all – JUST PRICELESS !

THANK YOU BOYS – YOU’RE AWESOME !!!

Susie & Tina xx

We first met John 8 years ago when he was our wedding photographer. He captured our big day beautifully, going the extra mile to create some truly memorable images. Friendly, fun, personable and professional, John really helped to make our day.
We’ve since returned three times for family portraits with our children and dog. John’s patience and skill has ensured we have some wonderful high quality images to treasure.
Would highly recommend.
Thank you John.

John photographed our wedding in June 2021, and we had an absolutely exceptional service! We could not have asked for a better company in terms of quality and professionalism- this includes his team Callum and James (videographer). They have gone above and beyond; including being there earlier then expected to capture the moments of bride/groom getting ready. Our bridal team and guests were raving about how well they integrated with guests, their light-hearted approach, and how natural and beautiful the captured photographs were. John's experience and professionalism is second to none and we could not recommend Studio900 highly enough!
