"It was the best choice!"
My boyfriend and I decided to get our photos taken by Gianni Creative Studio for our matric dance, and it was the best choice! It was our first photography shoot, and it went so smoothly. Shelby made the atmosphere so comfortable. She’s kind, encouraging, and really helpful with the different poses and settings we chose. She also gave creative suggestions and was so supportive throughout.
The photos came out AMAZING! The photography is truly professional. She captured our emotions perfectly and is a timeless portrait photographer.
The photos came back quickly, and we are beyond pleased! I truly recommend booking a photoshoot with Gianni Creative Studio. They are kind, creative, and professional!
