“When I thought of family photographs, I thought of cheesy smiles, where everyone’s family looked the same and the images would, with the passing of time, make my children cringe. I found 4005 while visiting The Powder Room and I could see that here was a professional photographer who could capture my family’s story in images that expressed the feelings we had for our children. I made an appointment with 4005 fotografie with confidence.

 

My husband saw the collection of images first at 4005 fotografie’s studio. My expectations had been high but I was still surprised when he rang me as soon as he left the studio to say:

 

You will cry when you see these photos. The ones of the kids brought tears to my eyes. They are amazing.

 

He was right! Paul and Ann-Louise had somehow perfectly captured our children’s personalities in their images. There were many tears as my husband and I sat looking at all of the photographs of our children, our family.

 

Still today, as we look at these photographs, we both feel our hearts swell with pride and love. 4005 fotografie looked through a window into the heart of our family and gave us something permanent to remind us of who we were, and all that we hope that our family will be. We will treasure these images always.”
Tricia & Randall Velthuizen, Samford

“Your non-intimidating atmosphere meant that I felt relaxed & comfortable throughout the session.

Best of all, unlike other photographers, I had used previously I had a choice over the style of photography and was not restricted just to black & white or colour images.

I was given guidance without force, and as a result my photos turned out exactly how I wanted them to…. magically!”
Julia Trevan, Camp Hill

“Thank you so much for all your help with the maternity photographs. You both made me feel really comfortable and the whole experience a really enjoyable one. From the care you took with shooting, to the help with selecting images and the artwork - it all contributed to a truly memorable result.

We’re so glad we captured that special time with such beautiful pictures, thanks again!”

“I can honestly say that the breath of fresh air and professionalism that hit us when we entered the studio was nothing short of incredible. Our children were made so comfortable they co-operated better than we had ever dreamed of. Your understanding, patience, sense of humour and skills were fantastic, making for not only the most stress-free shoot our collective ilk has ever been part of but also photographs that I would never have dared dreamed of having.

The first time I saw the images I almost got teary - you managed to capture our kids - whom I consider beautiful already - and show the very best of them.

You are the benchmark in family photography as far as we are concerned and there is a week of daylight between you and second place.

Thank you, and if you are around when our kids get old, they would thank you too.”

“I heard about 4005’s great reputation through working as a hair stylist but I was still amazed with my images! The work of other glamour photography studios all followed a formula and was super-outdated, but 4005’s looked like images straight out of an edgy magazine.

Never having modelled before I was very anxious about the photo session but Paul and Ann-Louise made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, I felt just like a real fashion model!

I also had some intimate photos for my boyfriend, which were very classy and stylish. The hair and makeup was so professional and the stylists were genuinely friendly, by the end we were like best friends.

I was thrilled with the results and thanks to you in 50 years I can impress my future grandchildren!”
