My partner and I had been trying to take some half-decent photos of me to use across my social media profiles, but eventually I gave up and decided to seek out a professional.

Sam responded to my enquiry promptly, and I booked in a basic head shot session. On the day, everything went smoothly – I felt comfortable and knew straight away that I was in competent hands. I've just received the final versions of my photos and am very happy with the outcome.

I would definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer! From our first phone conversation through finalizing my first ever photo shoot, he was fun and easy to work with. He gave me great advice but was never pushy, was flexible throughout, and really made me (definitely camera shy) truly feel comfortable (and special) through session. And most importantly, the pictures are absolutely gorgeous!

A few weeks ago I went to get some new professional pictures done. I was nervous about this as I am awkward in front of a camera at the best of times. One person's kindness and persistence can change a scary experience into a fun one. I ended up having the best day ever. My resting expression is a frown so to capture the shots Sammer Affridi had to tell me dad jokes for 3 hours solid. I wanted to say a special thank you and shout out today for agreeing to capture me just the way I am, for not putting me in a corporate headshot box and for getting creative with me. If you are looking at refreshing yours the team from Hero Shot Photography are HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the rest.
