Picture Proud Testimonials

We have been for quit e a few shoots at picture proud, everytime it has been the same high standards. My youngest child does'nt like to have photos taken and every time we have been he has been put at ease by the team, and 5 minutes into the session he forgot he was scared. They are sooooo children friendly.
I love the concept of the photographs and that you get the copyright to all of your images because I'm terrible and want all of the shots taken, this gives me the opportunity to have them all which is fantastic.
Thanks Picture Proud & the team for making the experience pleasurable.

Lyndsay is a natural. She puts every body at ease straight away and nothing is too much bother. Whether It's the kids having a tantrum or teenagers throwing a strop she will sort it. From one child in a shoot to a a party of 15 she has the patience of a saint. The end product brilliant photo's which can be viewed straight away and at a very competative price. Will definately be going back.

Had a fantastic family photoshoot here got lots and lots of great pics that didn't cost a fortune. We have been able to do so much with the pictures after ourself rather than been pressured into buying lots of photos at the shoot itself as this is normally the only way to do it. The copyright free product is fab. We have been ripped off before at previous photo shoots. WIll only ever go to Picture Proud now and have told all my friends and work colleagues how great they are.

We went for a family shoot when our son was just 3 months old, I was slightly concerned before hand that he would either sleep or cry through the whole session!! I was very much mistaken, Lyndsey managed to keep him captivated and we left with over 200 amazing photos on cd. She captured the family dinamic brilliantly and the photos are very 'us'! Lyndsey was very friendly, approachable and open to suggestions which made our first photo shoot experience all the more enjoyable. There is also a wide range of gifts available to purcahse so the whole family got professional but reasonably priced stocking fillers!! We live abroad but will definatley be going again when we're back in Barnsley later in the year! We would (and have) recommend them to anyone! :)

We took our 8 day old baby boy to picture proud as part of the bumps and baby package. Lyndsey was brilliant with Henry, very patient and fun. The pictures turned out brilliantly, we had one put onto a framed canvas which looks amazing! Can't wait to go back for our next shoot.

We came across picture proud when looking for a company to take photos of our baby boy who was six months of age. We were quite supprised we had not come across them before as we had lived in the same village for over a year and had never come across the hidden gem in the elsecar heritage center.

The lady who runs the company was excellent not only were the photos fantastic she ensured we were well taken care of and made our little boy feel right at home and new exactly how to get the best photos from him by using props and her personality.

We were a little unsure of what to expect from our sons first photo shoot but we have both agreed when we have more photos taken we wil be returning to Picture Proud.

We have used picture proud on numerous occasions the most recent being our wedding and our daughters 1st bumps to baby shoot and as usual lyndsay and the picture proud team did a fantastic job we have 2 more bumps to baby's shoots to book in and will always use picture proud for any future photographs because we know that we will get fantastic pictures and a warm and friendly reception. We would always recommend picture proud to anyone we know who maybe look at getting some photographs done and will continue to be hopefully a valued customer of picture prouds lyndsay an her team.
Thanks for everything guys hope to see you again really soon.

Second time we have used Picture Proud and yet again we are really happy with the results....we have lots of excellent quality pictures and all copyright free! Lyndsay made us all feel very relaxed and at ease whilst maintaining a professional service. Prints & frames are very reasonably priced although there is no hard sell to purchase, which makes a refreshing change from other photographers. Highly recommended & we will definitely be back for a third visit!

We have just had taster package with Picture Proud. I just can't recommend them high enough. From walking through the door I was greated with a very warm welcome. And instantly got jenson playing with the toys. I've got to say the whole session was so laid back and not at all stressful like other shoots I've been on. Once the shoot had finished we went to view the shots on a wide screen tv. The package we chose gave us 5 prints on disc now this was the hard bit which ones to pick as there all fantastic.
We absolutely will be going back.
One very happy customer

I can highly recommend Lyndsay at picture proud. My family and I have have had photo shoots several times. We had family potraits with the grandchildren and they were so relaxed and had a great time. Then we had a photo shoot for websites and newsletters. Altogether a great experience. Trish G

I highly recommend Picture Proud. The studio is clean, bright and welcoming. There are lots of toys to keep little ones entertained during the shoot and absolutely no pressure to buy, which had put me off from having photo shoots in the past. Lyndsay, the photographer, was brilliant with my 20month old daughter & really worked hard to get some wonderful shots of her. Lots of people had recommended Picture Proud to me & I can see why. We will definitely be back!

I had a brilliant time yet again at picture proud, got some fantastic pictures even though my little man was grumpy, Lyndsay still got him to smile :) Im really sad that it was the last of my baby/bump package but looking forward to getting some family pics done after the new year!! Thanks for fantastic photo's from all my shoots :) and I will be back!!! xxxx

This was a perfect 13th birthday party for my daughter and 8 friends. They had a fabulous time and the photos are great. Wonderful to get all the photos on disc to take home. I would highly recommend Picture Proud and we have decided to go back for a Family photo shoot (with the dog) in the New Year!

The staff at picture proud were brilliant at interacting with our three children age 4, 2, and 3 months. The pictures were fantastic and really captured the characters of our children. Also got some great pictures of us as a couple. All together a great morning and lots fantastic pictures to take away. Thank you

Took my 7 year old daughter Ruby today for a photo shoot, everything from the first phone call last thursday to today was first class service. Lydnsay & Dave are great & made us all welcome from the minute we walked in the studio. Ruby was shy to start with but within 5 minutes of Dave dressed as a elf & making her laugh she was totally relaxed. The photo's are amazing & i'm having problems choosing which one's to have printed. In the words of Ruby "I really really enjoyed the photshoot, when can i do it again"

Thank you so much Picture Proud for a brilliant photographic experience. Jacob and Matilda really enjoyed posing for all the action shots and we have some fabulous images to cherish. Lindsay was so patient and child friendly that it made the whole session a real pleasure - once again many thanks.

Would recommend Picture Proud to anyone- they took beautiful pictures of my 2 little ones and really captured their character and personality. Absolutely fantastic!

Great service and brilliant pictures. Lyndsay was really good with my two girls (3yrs and 9mths)and captured some excellent images. Really like the fact that we get all the pictures on CD and can look at them at our own leisure to choose the ones we want to print - there was no strong sales pitch which we really appreciated (having had that at other places). Would definitely recommend Picture Proud and will return in the future.

Very impressed with the service. Excellent communication beforehand. My children thoroughly enjoyed the photo shoot and the staff were fantastic. Love the fact that I have all the photos on disk so can look at these in my own time and decide which ones to have printed. Got some wonderful images and can't wait to see the kids grandparents faces on Christmas morning (in fact so many great ones I have decided to get a digital photo frame so we can enjoy them all).

I am a HUGE fan of Picture Proud. We have had many pictures of our little girl taken by them and every time we are left with a dilema of which ones to frame as they are all so fantastic. They manage to capture every aspect of our little girls personality by putting her at ease, which can be a difficult task! A truly professional company yet very personal. Keep up the good work. I shall continue singing their praises to everyone I see!

We recently visited picture proud, for about the 6th time, for our 5 month old baby girls 1st of 3 photo shoots and as always lyndsay was fantastic with all three of our children. She is very patient and nothing is ever to much trouble for the fab lyndsay who, as always, did us a fantastic baby shoot. Even though baby was getting very tired and a little bit upset with being slightly unwell lyndsay was great, she even entertained the 2 boys aged 3 an 1 yrs and the baby while we viewed our recently taken wedding photo's also taken by lyndsay (previous testimonial). Can't wait for the next shoot now. Only 4 months to wait for baby's 2nd shoot - look forward to seeing you then lyndsay, keep up the fab work and will as always be highly recommending you in the future to anyone who ask's about our previous fantastic photo's taken by you. Thank you, sam

We went to Picture Proud for the first time with our 4 month old son, Isaac for his first photo shoot. We felt completely at ease throughout. Lyndsay was really good with Isaac, although it was new surroundings for him, she did a fab job of 'entertaining' him to get the best pictures. There was plenty of time to get a variety of shots. We highly recommend Picture Proud and will be using them in the future.
Thanks again!!

Absolutely brilliant! Lyndsay was great with the children, forming an instant bond. Picture Proud provide an excellent professional service with no hard sell. Our session was a great success and we are very happy with the images produced. We will be booking more photoshoots as our children grow. Well done Picture Proud!

Another fantastic shoot with Lyndsay, again she did fab with Lui and got some excellent shots! The images are all fab and we are so pleased with them, its lovely to be able to compare them to the last ones to see how much he has grown, and we're already looking forward to next time!! Thanks again :)

Took our twin girls for their second session at Picture Proud aged 10 months. Yet again Lindsay was so friendly and accomodating, had a fantastic session the girls enjoyed every minute!

Can't sing their praises enough. Fantastic pictures. I would recommend to anyone - such great value and outstanding quality!

Can't wait for the third session and wouldn't hesitate to return for further photos after this package!

Thank you

We have had 2 photo sessions for our baby. we can and have recommended Picture proud very highly to our friends and family- the customer service is excellent, the enthusiasm towards the children was brilliant, the photos were great quality, and we think also good value for money. we would definitely book use them again.

Just had a wonderful photoshoot with Lyndsay at Picture Proud. She was fantastic!!! We were unsure how our 3 month old grandson would cope, but Lyndsay was so good and he responded brilliantly to her. Another major plus is purchasing the copyright which gives us the photos on CD with no obligation to purchase prints with them, even though their prices for prints are very reasonable.
We would unreservedly recommend them to anyone.
Thank you Lyndsay :)

The photo shoot was bought for us as a present and we have never had family photo's taken before. With three little ones we weren't sure if they would be happy to have their pictures taken. Picture Proud had so many different props and rotated them whenever the children got fidgety so this worked well with the children. Lovely resulting colourful photos. Enough taken to get something good.

Excellent pictures, excellent value for money! Definitely recommend.

Had our first professional photos done of our 3 month old at the weekend and upon a recommendation from a friend we went to picture proud. We are so glad we did, the studio is filled with toys to try and get the best photos out of your little one, Lyndsay and David were both very friendly and approachable. We will definitely be returning in the future as the photos of our little one are so lovely and the whole family are so happy with them. Highly recommended!!

We recommend Picture Proud to anyone looking for a quality family photo shoot at an affordable price. They were very accommodating, friendly and competitive, while maintaining a very professional approach.

We came away with almost 200 pictures mainly of our 4.5 month old son but a few family shots as well. Lyndsay was really good at interacting with him and we were delighted with the images. We now have the difficult task of deciding which of them we want to print off!

We took our 4 month old son to Picture Proud after it was recommended by a friend.

The service we received was fantastic; the pictures they took were at a very high standard and at a fraction of the price of their competitors.

We have already recommended their services to others and we will definitely return for more pictures.

Thank you for the lovely pictures, we will treasure them forever.

Wonderful photos as a result of excellent service and patience from the photographer. Some of the best photo's we have had taken :)

Absolutely brilliant! Had a mini photo shoot for my 11 month old, Sadie. The already bargain price was reduced by half for a summer offer which was too good to miss. Lyndsay was brilliant with Sadie from the start, who was tired and a little shy, but soon came round. We've some lovely photos which have turned out better than expected and will be returning when Sadie can walk.
Highly recommended, thanks!

We booked a family photo session while my mom was in visiting from abroad. We were so taken with the relaxed and supportive approach by Lyndsay. The pictures are great, and even better that my mom got to take a copy of the DVD containing every picture. Lyndsay liked all of our ideas and had loads of her own to make the pictures unique. The price and quality are outstanding and I will look no further in future for portraits! Thanks Picture Proud- I'll be spreading the word!

We recently used Picture Proud for the first time to have some photos taken of our 8 month old son. The whole experience was very relaxed & enjoyable. Lyndsay interacted very well with our son & got some great shots. We are very pleased with the pictures taken and will certainly be using Picture Proud again. Thanks very much.

Picture Proud are my new fave company! An ex-pupil recommended them, I saw they had a special offer so took my daughter (1 year old), my niece (4 year old) and my nephew (nearly 2!). Booking was really simple over the phone, everything was explained really well and reminder emails & texts were sent. The moment we arrived Lyndsay took the time to introduce herself and get to know the little ones (Something other photographers haven't done). Amazingly my niece (who isn't always the most cooperative!) took to her straight away and was more than happy to pose. The other 2 soon followed suit. The pictures are gorgeous and we were able to take them away on disc, with the option to order prints for gifts later on. All I need to do now is decide which ones to get printed for the grandparents!!! A fab experience and will definitely be recommending Picture Proud on my blog!

I want to start by saying thankyou to Lyndsay. She was fantastic with our 1 year old, She had him giggling and smiling from the word go. Spent a fantastic hour taking photos and we came away with lots of great looking photos and memories.

I have already recomended Picture Proud to our friends and I will certainly be using their services again.

So very different to other photography studios you see advertising. We walked away the same day with our photos and will be returing to order some prints when we can decide which one/two/three of the great photos we want printing!

Thanks again!

Daniel, Katie and Elliott :o)

I booked a photo shoot for my 10 wk old daughter! I thought with her age it would be a bit difficult however lyndsay was brilliant I got some really beautiful photos which I am extremely happy with. The studio was really clean and professional with lots and lots of toys to keep my daughter occupied. I also think that the shoots are really reasonably priced compared to most other studios in this area and there is no hard sell to get you to buy prints from them (however I will be doing as I am happy to pay a little extra than the local supermarkets to know that I am getting a really professional print). I will be using Lyndsay and her team at picture proud in the future when my daughter is sitting up and crawling and I would recommend them to anybody and everybody wanting an extremely enjoyable experience. Once again thank you very much to all the team at picture proud I am over the moon with my photos!!

my Daughter wasnt very happy but Lindsey did her best to get the best out of her. She must have tried everything. I really enjoyed it and got 78 colour and black and white gorgeous pics of my daughter. Thank you. I would definatly go there again and recomend it to anyone. Thanks again. x

Excellent photo's for a great price. Will definitely be using again.

Thanks x

Had a fantasic photo shoot at picture proud this week with my two children aged 3 and 18 mths. I was a bit worried that my kids might run riot but the staff were fab with them and both kids really enjoyed the experience, and i came away with some fantasic pictures of course. I would highly recommend this company. They are currently running good deals for kids mini photo shoots which includes all the photos on disc which means you can print as many copies as you like rather than having to pay through the nose for framed prints like at certain other companies.
Thanks to Picture Proud for some brilliant photos that we will treasure for years to come.

Would highly recommend Picture Proud for baby photographs. I recently went on the recommendation of my friend and was highly impressed. Firstly, the set up was perfect with lots of toys etc to keep baby happy but also Lyndsay was fab as the photographer, very engaging with the baby and very professional.
You see a slide show of all your pictures at the end which was nice and there is NO PRESSURE whatsoever to have any 'extras' which you do get with most other photo places.
The whole experience was spot on and I will be using Picture Proud again!

I took my 6 month old twin girls and 2 year old boy for their pictures and the photographer could not have been more patient with these tricky customers. The shots we have are excellent and I now have some beautiful pictures of all three children together, which I would never have achieved at home.

My husband and I had the first of our bump and baby sittings at picture proud today. I generally hate having my photo taken but Linsey was lovely and made me feel really relaxed. We had a great morning and have come away with some lovely pictures. I'm really looking forward to the next shoot when baby arrives. I would highly recommend it.

I took my 2 boys for a children's mini shoot, the baby is 1 and just walking and my 3 year old is very boisterious and has a short attention span!!! I found Lyndsay was very professional and helpful. My boys really enjoyed the shoot and I found that it's wasn't as stressful as had been expected!! I'm thrilled with the pictures and even more so the price!! I will definitely return and recommend!

Yet another fantastic photo session with Lyndsay at Picture Proud! Love the photos and so does everyone we've shown them too. We are so pleased with them!!! Lyndsay was fantastic with our little one and again we had a laugh with Lyndsay. Big thank you, can't wait for the next photo session!!! Emma, Mark and Alfie.

I booked a family photo shoot at Picture Proud following a friend's recommendation. Generally, I hate to have my picture taken and, for that reason, I had no photos of me and my two children (aged 7 and 4) so I wanted a professional shoot to remedy this.
From the outset, I found Picture Proud professional and accommodating. I was actually dreading the day of the shoot as I wasn't sure how well the children would behave and my partner and I are quite reserved - certainly not natural performers!!! However, Lyndsay quickly put us at ease, the children were allowed to be their natural, boisterous selves (which also helped the stress levels!!) and we all had a really good time.
The shoot itself was at a nice pace and we didn't feel rushed (with lots of running around breaks for the children). The pictures themselves are absolutely beautiful and there was also no sales pressure in terms of printing options as we reviewed the photos. All in all, fantastic!

We booked a family shoot for my husband and I, and our two children, aged 4 and 5. Lyndsay and David were brilliant, they had my son laughing his head off in minutes, and my shy daughter relaxed and smiling. We got loads of lovely photos, and I'm still struggling to decide which ones to order! However, there was no pressure at all to purchase prints. I would definitely recommend them to others, and intend to return in the future.
Thanks so much
