Ruim een week geleden een familie en portret foto shoot gedaan. Wat een ontzettend leuke middag was het, heel relaxed en Fred had alle tijd voor ons. Vanavond de foto's ontvangen en ze zijn nog mooier/leuker dan verwacht! Super bedankt Studio Hoge Heren!!Geplaatst op GerbrandTrustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Fred is een erg gezellig persoon en maakt mooie fotos. Hij is goed in wat ie doet en is hier ook trots op, zoals het hoort! De studio ziet er super gelikt uit en de fotos worden gemaakt met de beste apparatuur. Ik kwam voor het maken van pasfotos, en het is inderdaad wat duurder dan een fotocabine maar je ziet het verschil in kwaliteit direct terug! Daarnaast werden mijn foto's niet direct goedgekeurd en hierin denkt Fred graag (kosteloos) met je mee, dit geeft een fijn ontzorgd gevoel. Dank voor de foto's Fred!
