Was a truly lovely experience

Was a truly lovely experience; From getting the photos taken to viewing the photos at the end. Some amazing photos as well. I did this to build body confidence and it has definitely worked.

Amazing

Amazing, euphoric, body confident for once in my life on that day is how it felt during & after the photoshoot. Was nervous at first, but they both (dave & cara) put me at ease, refreshments & snacks were offered on arrival with a warm, friendly welcome, daves knowledge was top notch,knew exactly how, with the correct lighting & poses to get me at my best. Cannot wait to get my photo book ready to show off to friends & family. Would definitely highly recommend the experience, especially with the Sugar & Spice studio.

A brilliant experience from beginning…

A brilliant experience from beginning to end. I booked this to try and improve my self confidence but I nearly ended up cancelling as I felt so nervous. Cara reassured me before the day and both Dave and Cara were amazing on the day. The quality of the pictures were amazing. Thank you for such a great experience

Amazing experience

Had a really amazing experience, and I came out of it feeling so much more confident. Clara and Dave made me feel really comfortable and the pictures turned out amazing, would definitely recommend booking a shoot!

I am empowered!

I have not felt so empowered and actually looked and said "wow" to a picture of myself in many many years. It has been even longer that I could look at myself in the outfits I was in, let alone even think about having my photo taken! Dave and Cara were extremely welcoming, kind and patient with me. Having photos taken from a house studio setting also made me feel really comfortable and at ease. I cannot thank them enough and cannot recommend choosing them more!

Celebrating me before my body changes with pregnancy

I was recommended to try this out by a friend who booked a shoot as an engagement surprise, and it just so happened that when the date came around I was then 12 weeks pregnant. So I took it as a sign (and opportunity) to celebrate my self and body before the biggest change I'll probably go though. I did let Dave and Cara know beforehand and they were super accommodating and made sure to check in with me for poses and comfort level throughout the whole day as I was already experiencing some early changes. The fact that my photos have come out so stunning and sexy while I was experiencing them is really a testament to their talent, eye for detail and experience.
The day was about 4 hours, really easy to find and free parking close by. We had a call the day before to discuss ideas and make sure I knew what to expect and bring. I opted for the makeup and hair makeover that was super fun and a great way to warm up, although the only thing I will say is that it wasn't the kind of makeup look I'd usually go for so my pictures came out much more glam and maybe less natural than I would like, so really think about if you want that glam look or more something your every day would match. We got such a wide range of pics and poses done, and I felt super comfortable wit the space and speed of the shoot. The review was also super chill and I got to pick out my fave pics as a special album surprise for my husband, very excited for it to arrive. I fully recommend everyone tries something like this to explore your own expression and celebrate yourself, with a bonus of a sexy surprise for a partner if you like. Thank you so much Cara and Dave, and I'm fairly certain I might be back in future years for an update shoot.

Amazing experience!

I was originally really nervous about doing a photoshoot with Sugar-n-Spice, as I have never done anything like it before and I've always had some body insecurities! I spoke to Cara via text and email and she was great and gave me some really good advice about the best things to bring/wear as mine was bridal. On the day I was with Dave, the photographer, and Matilda who was new! They were both so welcoming and I had so much fun, I was nervous at the start but everyone made me feel confident, we had a good laugh and I really enjoyed myself. I went back a few weeks later to view my photos with Dave and I was REALLY nervous, worrying I'd hate the way I looked but the photos were beautiful and really high quality and I ended up actually struggling on which ones to choose as I liked so many! Thank you to the whole team I will 100% be recommending the experience to my friends :)

5 Stars! Highly Recommend

5 Stars! I was a bit nervous as this was a little bit out of my comfort zone, however, I had no reason to be. The experience was great from the booking stage, right until the of choosing and collecting my photos. Both Dave and Cara were excellent and incredibly professional. In the lead up to the photoshoot, Cara gets in touch and asks you what style of photos you are hoping to take and they totally bespoke it to you. The shooting location is lovely and made to feels very homely - with snacks and drinks in your very own dressing room! And the pictures! It took me nearly 3 hours to choose my short list as I loved so many of the photos! Highly recommend!

Amazing experience

I had an amazing time at my photoshoot! I loved everything about it and would definitely do it again in the future. As soon as I walked in, I was made to feel at my most comfortable so that when it was time to do the photoshoot I didn’t feel nervous at all. Very relaxing environment and everyone there is extremely friendly. Over the moon with my photos, they really do look beautiful thanks to Dave. Picking the photos was a great experience, no rush whatsoever so it was a very relaxed way to have a good look at all of the photos. I would definitely recommend doing this to anyone who is thinking about doing a photoshoot !
10/10 experience for sure.
