“Excellent experience. Jeanette was knowledgeable, informative and supportive throughout. She knew the detailed settings on all the various types of phone in the class, and was able to help us all to discover many new aspects about our respective phones, that we never knew existed. Her comprehensive insight into the local area, meant we were seamlessly guided to so many amazing photo opportunities. Hints and tips aplenty. (Lego and wrist strap already ordered) Many thanks for a great afternoon. Would thoroughly recommend.”

“Absolutely brilliant experience with Jet. A great family day out especially given you typically go to a decent site in a major city. Jet really knows her way around both the locality and the different phones. We all learnt something and she makes the teaching so easy that we have all continued to apply some of the 'tricks' to each of out photos. We booked a private family session but am sure the group ones would be equally great. Jet also takes time to make sure each person gets 100% from the session. Highly recommended.”
