Client reviews

  • Jen - Revoice

    Highly recommend Claudia at Kurious Kreative. She has a real talent for capturing the moment during our family photo shoot with new baby and our dog as well as my professional photos. She produces the photos in an organised online album for easy downloading and printing. Claudia is a lovely person to have around and made us feel really relaxed. Thank you 😊

  • Beth Beauchamp - Fascia IQ

    With our rebranding and new website we needed new photos. Claudia helped us get the look we wanted and we are very happy with the results. She is a pleasure to work with - professional, super efficient, has a great creative eye and is warm and approachable. I can happily recommend her photography.

  • Lisa - And familly

    Claudia from kurious creative took maternity and family photos for us. We exchanged photo ideas in advance to ensure we were on the same page. During the session Claudia had the perfect eye for great spots and perfect lighting. She captured mainly free flow movements but also directed us gently into positions, turning the shooting into a fun event! We all felt very comfortable. The photos turned out beautifully, I couldn't be more happy with them!
