Love Sharon's work. Very professional, speedy edits and incredibly creative. Highly recommend. Professional and stunning photos. Sharon has a fantastic creative eye. Will defo be back for our next product.

Robyn McWhirter, Sweet Robyn’s.

Sharon is a wizard with a camera.  The work she produces for my company Refuge Hot Chocolate is always outstanding.  She manages to capture the essence of the brand and products that are requested by the company and also the wow factor with our food products that our customers want.  She knows her way around a kitchen which definitely comes through with her creativity and mock ups of serving suggestions. 

I always know that when I leave products with Sharon she will do something transformational with them. Which is so exciting from one creator to another. 

Tara Mullan, Refuge Hot Chocolate

I had been following Sharon's page for a while and when the time came for getting some product photography, there was only ever one photographer we wanted. From our first meeting, Sharon was so enthusiastic about the project and we knew we would get incredible results. She did not disappoint!🤩 We were delighted with the results and have been recommending Sharon to everyone!
