We had the most incredible experience at this photo studio for the Santa Experience photoshoot! From the moment we walked in, Alan and Santa were so attentive and genuinely creative in helping our son feel comfortable. You can tell they’ve perfected all the tricks! within minutes, our son was relaxed, smiling, and completely drawn into the magic of the moment.

Santa was unbelievably patient and kind. He talked to our son about things only Santa would know, and you could see our child’s eyes light up with pure wonder.

When we received the photos, we were blown away. They captured such beautiful, whimsical moments that we’ll treasure forever. Everything looked so enchanting and perfectly crafted. A must do for anyone wanting unforgettable memories.

My 5 year old daughter recently had the fairy - themed photograph experience. She enjoyed the setting , the idea , green fairy dress , wings etc. The photos got ready for us to view fairly quickly, like in 2 days. The viewing appointment was nice and quick for me. My daughter enjoyed watching every single slide of her photos. The studio was easy to get to by car, and parking isn’t a problem if you find the sign. I recommend it , as it’s a once in a lifetime experience for my daughter.

We had a photoshoot (baby's first one) my older daughter (3) really wanted to book it. She suffers nad anxiety and is very clingy. Alan, the photographer managed to get some AMAZING photos ot her and really knew how to make sure she was calm and comfortable in the eviroment working with her not pushing her to do anything she didnt want to. the baby who hates to separate from us managed to get some beautiful photos taken. We struggled to choose between them all and are in awe of them. My eldest loves them and told everyone about her photoshoot. I would recommend him, it's a comfortable environment and is very friendly and approachable everything was explained to us.

What a wonderful experience, our first little baby newborn photoshoot. Alan was lovely, made us feel very welcome. Lovely little studio too. Took some lovely photos of my baby who didn’t make it easy as he was the must awake child ever! But he managed and got some lovely ones. Highly recommend. Thanks again

Following the birth of our son, we attended a newborn photoshoot. Alan was brilliant and made the experience so memorable, The photos were absolutely beautiful. Communication was brilliant from start to end. Would recommend if you are looking for this type of photography.

We cannot recommend Alan enough to anyone who wants a relaxed and comfortable photoshoot. We had our maternity and newborn photoshoot with Alan and he’s been great and also very patient with our little one who was unsettled during the session/s. He captured such beautiful and precious moments - we couldn’t be happier with the photos. Thanks Alan.

A magical Santa experience for our two little boys. Alan captured some absolutely gorgeous photos and made it so hard to choose! They were so natural which is exactly what we wanted. He was very helpful when trying to decide on a package and made sure we got exactly what we wanted! Would highly recommend.

Photoshoots are not my usual style, but no regrets whatsoever about this maternity session. I’m not particularly creative but after a courtesy phone call prior to our appointment felt comfortable that Alan would have some ideas…and he did…and they were wonderful. Super relaxed session and we could not be happier with the end products. Thank you!

Took my kids to do the Santa experience and they had a fantastic time. There were many things I was impressed with. Santa’s interaction with my kids felt genuine and put them at ease quickly (they’re normally shy). Soon, he had them laughing and smiling for the camera. It was great that we could personalise the experience by given details of our family and kids to make it even more realistic.
I was able to see the results within the next week and the photos were perfect. Alan the photographer captured everything we wanted and made it look like a magical experience for the kids. He gave us a great deal for the photos too. I’ve used many photographers for our wedding, family photos etc. I would say Alan’s been the best out of them for his communication, efficiency and overall quality as a photographer. I will be happy to use his services in the future.

We recently booked the Santa Claus photo shoot at Infinity Photography Studio, and we were very impressed with the entire experience. Alan, the photographer, was incredibly professional from start to finish. The studio had a warm, festive atmosphere, and the attention to detail was evident in every shot. Alan’s approach was relaxed yet focused, making their session feel more about the magic of Meeting Santa than having their picture taken.
A highlight of the shoot was the Singing Santa, who was exceptionally personable and engaging. He brought so much charm to the session, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved. His interactions with the kids were fantastic and his "inside knowledge" came across as genuine rather than memorised.
Overall Alan’s professionalism and the personality of the Singing Santa makes this a top-tier experience that goes beyond just a photo session.

My children and I had fantastic experience with Alan and Santa. They managed to get some brilliant smiles and funny faces from my boys. It wasn’t just a photoshoot, they were very excited to play with Santa and receive a present, and shocked that Santa knew so much about them so now they are behaving knowing that he really is watching them!

The viewing of the photos was lovely, displayed with a projector so I could view easily and choose which ones I wanted. The quality and editing is top notch! It’s definitely worth it! Thanks again guys!

I did the Santa experience with my 10 month old. It was amazing very friendly from the start, Santa did great with my little girl. Coming back from our viewing was great all the pictures are great and worth the money.

Jen Hart

17:30 08 Nov 24

We had a wonderful experience meeting Santa at the Santa Experience. Alan and Santa were both lovely with our little boy who really enjoyed himself, we all did! The photographs are magical. We would highly recommend the experience and will enjoy our photographs for years to come. Thank you Alan!

Rebecca White

Really enjoyed our Santa experience with our one year old son. He was immediately put at ease with Alan and Santa, they took the time to find out about what he likes and even referenced our dog within the first few minutes! It’s not easy to photograph a one year old but the pictures have surpassed our expectations and will be treasured for the rest of our lives - thank you so much for providing the most authentic and festive photos we could wish for.

I absolutely recommend Alan and infinity studios to whoever wants a stress free and seamless professional experience during their photoshoot. It’s a calm, private studio where you’re encouraged to be yourself and your ideas and concepts are welcomed and brought to life in the pictures. Alan is very patient and professional and you are guaranteed amazing photos. I particularly love his work in black and white. Time and money well spent!

I’m not normally one for writing reviews but we had such a great experience that I wanted to share it with anyone on the fence about booking the Fairy Experience.

I never did the newborn photoshoots or the seasonal ones which most families treasure. We don’t have any photos on the walls and rarely print off the thousands stored on our phones. So knowing I wanted to do this I did plenty of research it felt like an investment because I’d want these pictures on my walls forever!

My daughter is 6 and my son is 3 and this year I’ve noticed a seismic shift in the way my daughter plays. The dressing up box is no longer reached for and our days spent full of playing make believe is starting to diminish in favour of kids youtube and crafting.

I think at six and seven you reach a peak in their belief. And now I’m all too aware that this magic will continue to fade as they grow and learn.

I wanted something to capture their childhoods. The whimsical way they play. Their beautiful smiles which hold so much joy. A reminder of a childhood spent in enchanted gardens looking for fairy friends and on the high seas with playful pirates.

I saw the Infinity Photography Fairy photoshoot experience advertised on Facebook and I knew straight away that it would be perfect.

It was so easy to book and refreshing to see that the booking form asks about the children, their names, ages, character, disabilities and neurodiversity all form part of the tailored experience you receive. My little girl is super shy, my little boy is super boisterous. Alan put us at ease right away. The experience we had was relaxed and the kids felt comfortable and special. My daughter warmed up much quicker than I anticipated and that made such a difference to the photos. It’s all about connection isn’t it.

Unbelievably Alan managed to persuade my son to join in too. There was definitely some magic in the room that day!

We made an appointment to see the photos the following day. I already knew they would be beautiful. The backdrop itself is hand painted, the fairy wings have been custom made and Alan is clearly very talented. There wasn’t any pressure to buy. He went through the photos with us methodically and told us how much it would be. We had already been given a price list so had an idea of what we wanted.

I don’t want to give a spoiler about how the photos are presented but seeing the smile on my daughter’s face when we previewed them is something I won’t forget. She could recognise just how beautiful and magical she is. The things I see in them everyday.

This experience is so much more than photography. Thank you

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of booking a maternity photoshoot with Alan at Infinity Studios, and the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. The booking process was seamless, and we were immediately put at ease upon arriving at the studio. Alan was not only welcoming and friendly but also highly professional.

Throughout the session, Alan's helpful guidance and encouragement made the entire photoshoot enjoyable and stress-free. He created a relaxed atmosphere, which allowed us to feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.

The final images perfectly captured the vision I had in mind, and we are both extremely pleased with the results. We wholeheartedly recommend Infinity Studios and look forward to booking future sessions. Thanks Alan

Absolutely stunning photographs. An emotional journey!! Children had a fab time. You won’t be disappointed

I bought the £20 maternity photoshoot offer as advertised on Facebook.
It was easy to book an appointment online.
We arrived at the photoshoot with our toddler who was very challenging on the day but Alan was very patient and accommodating and we managed to get some good pictures including the moody toddler.
The follow up appointment to select photos was very well organised - Alan makes it very easy to pick the favourite pics.
The only drawback is that I was so pleased to find such a good offer I didn't realised what the prices of the photos themselves are and we were only able to afford the smallest package (I couldn't find the actual prices when I was booking).
Overall I'm very happy with the lovely photos we have got, everyone loves them and they will be a lovely souvenir.

Im really glad I saw Infinity Photographic Studios during my search! Im always camera shy and hated when my photo is taken so I was quite hesitant to have a maternity shoot but I went and did it anyway. At first I was a bit nervous as I was stepping out my comfort zone, but Alan reassured me, he was very chill and friendly, he made my whole experience relaxing and made me felt comfortable throughout the shoot. The atmosphere in the studio was very calming, no rush and I felt really secure. I also like how he gave options to use any of the available dresses and gowns he had in the studio, because honestly I wasn't very prepare and only had one dress with me. Im really glad I was able to use one and it made so much difference in terms of the outcome of the photos, the lighting and angle. When I saw the photos afterwards I was really really happy and cant wait to show it to everyone!! So thank you Alan! Ill be back with my little one soon.

Alan was brilliant for my maternity photoshoot. The experience was extremely comfortable for me and my partner.

He was very professional as well as down to earth and understanding towards my comfort levels being heavily pregnant. He talked me and my partner through every step and didn’t rush anything. Would highly recommend Alan and the photos are beautiful and made me feel beautiful and confident again.

Will definitely be returning for new born photoshoot when baby girl arrives.

Thank you again.

I recently visited Infinity Studios for a Maternity Photoshoot, I was unsure about doing the photoshoot but Alan was kind and reassuring. I'm really happy with my photos and the photoshoot. I would recommend.

Lauren Anderson

11:58 09 Aug 24

I was in two minds whether to go ahead with a maternity shoot having never had a photo shoot before, never mind doing one at 36 weeks pregnant. I am not the most confident person and was feeling a bit nervous prior. However, I’m so pleased I did it! Alan was brilliant and made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout. He made my experience a positive one and I was really happy with how the photos turned out. Thanks again Alan x

As a wheelchair user, I was always curious as to how it would feel during our maternity photo shoot and what the end results would be like. I didn’t know whether the height difference of me in a wheelchair and my standing pregnant partner would be too much of a contrast. In fact, we had nothing to worry about. Alan was incredibly welcoming and put us straight at ease. He listened to what we wanted and was kind and considerate in his approach. We’re so happy with the collection of photos and would thoroughly recommend Alan to anyone.

Stefanie Sheen

12:04 29 Jun 24

A big thank you to Alan for his sterling service and the wonderful family photographs! It was our first visit to Infinity Photographic Studios, but certainly not our last. Highly recommended!

Chris Walker

We had our newborn photo shoot done here with Alan. We took our toddler who didn't want to participate. Alan had great patience and got her to pose with her sister for some truly beautiful photos.

A great experience for us. We will certainly be booking in future for Santa and Birthday pictures.

My experience of Infinity Photographic Studios was exceptional for our newborn photo shoot. Initially I hadn’t wanted a newborn photo shoot, feeling they are a little “cheesy”, however when our little girl was born I realised just how precious those first few weeks are. Given that she was born around a month before Christmas, most studios were already fully booked. When I contacted Alan, he initially had no availability when we would be free, but asked me to leave it with him and he spent some time looking at diary options before offering an appointment that was ideal!
Our experience of the photo shoot itself was great, Alan definitely knew what he was doing to get some amazing photos of our little girl. He was super friendly and still maintaining a standard of professionalism expected.
Our photos are amazing, and I love looking back on the pictures of our little family. We have both digital prints and a few framed prints as well that are all of a high quality. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a photoshoot for their little ones to make contact with Alan as he goes above and beyond.

We took our newborn baby boy for a photoshoot with Infinity Photograohic Studios a few weeks ago. Alan made us feel at ease from the very beginning, and was brilliant with our little boy. We also had photos taken with our toddler and other family members and Alan was amazing at finding ways to get our 3 year old to smile, laugh and look at the camera. We viewed the photos presented as a slide show last week and cried many happy tears at how beautiful the photos turned out! We are over the moon, and will definitely be recommending to all of our friends. A huge thank you for capturing such precious moments for us to treasure forever!

Absolutely love the photos we have had taken of my 3rd child. Alan was great very professional and the most patient person ive ever met.

I was nervous about booking a maternity photoshoot. I went it feeling quite voulnrable, so I took my husband with me.

From the moment I arrived, i felt welcomed. The photoshoot was discussed about what I wanted from it, anythig I wanted to incorporate. It was explained how I needed to stand and throughout the shoot I was shown snippits of what the photos were looking like.

For anyone who is thinking of doing a maternity photoshoot - I would highly recommend you just take the plunge and go for it! Take a partner with you and use the photoshoot to your full advantage. Everything is private and secure, and there is no judgement at all. Im so pleased with my photos so much so I have booked a newborn photoshoot with my new little bundle!

I recently booked a photography session for myself and two daughters and was highly impressed with Alan's set up. My daughters are 8 and 9 years old, were really relaxed and had plenty of fun. The photos are absolutely amazing and Alan's packages are more than reasonable. You definitely get what you pay for and I have no hesitation booking again or recommending to family and friends.

A Truly Magical Experience at all stages
We recently visited infinity studios for a fairy and elf experience. For our 4 year old daughter and just turned 2 year old son.
We were given a warm welcome. Alan made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. He showed a lot of patience as our son was teething and not overly cooperative.
Our daughter really enjoyed interacting with the set and posing for her many photos.
We were given all the information about the packages available before returning to view our photos.
They were more beautiful than we imagined they would be and were very surprised at the number of photos Alan managed to get of our son. We weren’t really expecting many.
We had some very very tough choices to make as the photos were all spectacular. But managed to settle.
We’ve received our digital photos and are waiting on our framed pictures.
Here are a few of our favourites from the session.
Cannot recommend Alan and his services enough. The quality is extremely high. The photos are worth every penny and these memories will last a lifetime.

My baby son recently had his Santa photo shoot; today I viewed the photos which were absolutely amazing! So many precious moments captured, simply magical. Infinity studios are outstanding!

Holly Carr

18:45 06 Nov 23

Alan was absolutely brilliant, a very friendly clean environment so so happy with my daughters pictures couldn’t recommend enough!

Natasha Hopkins

17:40 02 Nov 23

My photos clearly prove Alan is amazing at what he does. Our fairy shoot didn't quite go to plan. With a very temperamental 2 year old and very stressed Mammy I thought we had wasted time and money as we wouldn't get any photos. But I was amazed at the beautiful photos that Alan managed to capture. Truly magical. Thank you!

Kate Purdy

16:30 27 Oct 23

Alan was fantastic from the moment of first contact via phone call to arrange a newborn photoshoot. He made us feel welcome and at home during the photoshoot and was patient which allowed our baby to go to sleep for the pictures.

I have been to view my maternity photos today and wow they are amazing way more than I expected. I went last month for the shoot and I was totally made to feel amazing with Alan, even though I was in my underwear and getting captured by a male photographer, I felt so comfortable and at ease the whole time. Highly recommend !!!

Kirsty Farn

13:10 30 Sep 23

Would highly recommend. Went for a pregnancy photoshoot and immediately felt at ease. Alan looked over my Pinterest board of photo styles I liked and took some amazing shots to replicate. Super happy with how they turned out and would definitely recommend!

Corinne McClelland

08:59 30 Sep 23

Couldn't recommend Alan and Infinity Photographic Studios more highly - I attended for a maternity photoshoot, and arrived very nervous (as was definitely out of my comfort zone). As I was unsure of what to expect, Alan quickly made me feel at ease by walking me through the process, and the different options available. I immediately began to feel more relaxed and we now have some absolutely stunning photos of my pregnancy in a variety of different styles (inc black and white, silhouette).

Infinity also offer a great range of prices and packages and the photos were prepared and sent across to us incredibly quickly.

I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alan to any expectant mum 🙂

Joanne Vance

05:44 28 Aug 23

We have been to Alan twice now with both granddaughters for the fairy experience photo shoot and each time we have had the most wonderful time and the photos are amazing.He captures the most beautiful expressions and the studio looks so magical.

Claire Brown

20:56 25 Aug 23

We have just had our newborn photoshoot with Alan it was a fantastic day and he was amazing with our little girl.
Made us all feel comfortable and took all the shots he took were amazing.
Would highly recommend and we will definitely look to go again in the future.

10:53 18 Aug 23

So happy with our photos from Alan he has been amazing over our package, we had 4 lots of photos done in just over a year in the bump to baby package. We got our final frame yesterday and I absolutely love it, its so hard to get photos of my daughter as well as she is autistic and Alan was great with her and patient with them both, even when atleast one of them wasn't playing ball and crying. Couldn't recommend Alan at infinity photography enough

David Muldown

09:23 25 Jul 23

Long overdue this (my fault) and i dont oftern go to the trouble of leaving reviews, but I had to leave a review for Alan at Inifity.
From start to finish, Alan was brilliant with us on our bump to baby shoot package. He had a lot of work on his hands over our 4 shoots, with a newborn and our daughter who has Autism. But any concerns I may have had about how difficult it may be to get nice photos of us all were quickly dissipated.
We have beautiful photos of our family now which will be cherished forever and we couldn't be more thankful.

A friendly, professional experience, which we couldn't be happier with. Thank you so much. 10/10.

Absolutely amazing experience, could not rate Alan Clark higher! He made sure we felt so comfortable during the whole experience and relieved all awkward tension and worries. From the beginning of the session Alan was warm and welcoming, making jokes and conversation to create a relaxing atmosphere. We were very nervous for the maternity pictures with how revealing they were but Alan made us feel so safe and comfortable by talking us through everything he was doing and why he thought a certain light should go here or what prop to use next, the session flowed amazingly and we had so much fun. Alan was so respectful during such a vulnerable and intimate experience and managed to turn a fear into a joyful and rewarding memory. The photos turned out beautifully and Alan was able to capture and bring out perfections and imperfections that we can now see in a new light and love. Would definitely recommend Alan Clark for every milestone or achievement.

Georgia

17:25 21 Jun 23

Such an amazing experience taking my maternity photos.
Lack of confidence was a main issue of mine however Alan made me feel so comfortable and talked me through the whole experience. And it won’t be a one to forget either.
Having your photos taken in-front of anyone can be a nerve racking experience, let alone such intimate photos, however Alan put me at ease and never pushed me to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with.
He made me feel relaxed and happy within showing off my growing stomach and with every photo I grew more confident.

Warm and inviting environment, Alan allowed me to try different props and even when I challenged him with incorporating flowers into the shoot he was more than keen to oblige.
“ Imperfections” are now no longer a thing after Alan allowed me to see them in a different light.

Couldn’t recommend enough! Already booked in for newborn shoot and can’t wait to see the results.

Great experience! Photos turned out amazing, we got a selection of photos of our 4 week old son and some with myself and my partner which all look amazing. Alan made us feel comfortable and welcome, would definitely book in for another shoot for our son once he’s a little bit older:

Christopher John Antal

10:37 26 Apr 23

Alan was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and more! I highly recommend his services. Alan responded promptly to every inquiry and request, he was on time for scheduled appointments, he was courteous and professional, and delivered us outstanding pictures in less than 24 hours. He selected locations we had never imagined, and showed great sensitivity to light patterns that made our pictures not only precious memories but also pieces of art.

Danielle Hourigan

14:46 08 Apr 23

I have had 4 experiences at infinity studios, a 1st birthday cake smash, a newborn shoot, the Santa experience and most recently the fairy experience. I have 2 young children and Alan is very good at keeping things relaxed and helping the kids settle for natural photos, especially with my youngest who takes a while to warm to people, Alan gave him time and started talking to him about things he liked to bring him out of his shell. I always love the shots he captures as well as the added magic he uses to enhance the photos. I would definitely recommend the experiences for anyone with young children, my daughter absolutely loved the fairy experience and both her and my son had a great time on the Santa experience, we will be back again!

Gemma Kernan

06:57 05 Feb 23

I have the most beautiful photos from a fairy photoshoot and a meet Santa experience. A lovely.cosy, warm space and Alan is fantastic with kids. I have just booked for this year's meet Santa and cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for the memories

Paige Rawle

21:03 14 Jan 23

Can't recommend Alan enough! So far we've had a maternity and newborn photoshoot with him and we're both over the moon with all the memories he's captured. He's very patient and caring with the babies/children and just a lovely person to go have a chat with while you're taking photos, putting myself at ease as I'm normally a bit shy. Very accommodating to the clients needs and worth every penny for his skill and experience. Can't wait for our future shoots together 10/10

Amazing experience Alan is an amazing photographer and made everything relaxed and fun. He kept calm with us and made sure we got the best photographers and experiences for this. I can't wait to go back and get our pictures and when baby is here take her to get some done. Thanks so much again Alan!!
