Absolutely 5 star from Allan today for our newborn photoshoot, he advised us on every step to take to ensure our 2 week old was calm and placid, he had everything prepared including refreshments for mummy and daddy, he was amazing with our baba and his photos certainly prove the quality of his work, we can't wait to see them all and book our cake smash corn when he turns 1. Again can't recommend Keltic Rose enough you are amazing

Allan took some amazing photographs at my 60th birthday party. He circulated naturally through the room and is so good at what he does. He delivered my album last night and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Allan

Just before lockdown we paid for a festive photo session for our little boy. With him only being 14 months old I was worried for Allan and I was so worried that he would destroy the lovely Christmas set but in fact he was brilliant with him, they say never work with children or animals but Allan was fantastic with our son. He just let Alfie do his own thing, he was able to play with the items and although there was a lot of running around as a 14 month old never sits still!!... Allan managed to capture some beautiful shots. We are simply over the moon with the finished products. I cannot wait to give these photos out as gifts for Christmas. Thank you again.

Took my twins to get the first photoshoot for them done yesterday afternoon they were amazing with my very restless and inquisitive twins and was hard to choose pics but considering one of my twins is not very smiley without daddy around it narrowed it down luckily! Will definitely be back for more soon thank you both again
