    Gill is an absolutely incredible photographer and we are over the moon with our photos. We are all of us quite shy in front of the camera, but Gill put us completely at ease and even got our two young kids smiling! Everything felt and looked so natural, and the final finished printed and matted photographs are just stunning. We were so pleased too with the many options for printed products offered, and have to make a special mention for the beautiful timber box made by the Men’s Shed which is such a special keepsake. I highly highly recommend Gill, we are so completely delighted with our photographs and the experience we had and will treasure them forever. Worth every cent, and such a lovely person too. Thank you Gill!

    We absolutely recommend Gill. She joined us for a long afternoon at a big family event (80 people including lots of kids) and took wonderful shots of family & guests, both posed and natural. Gill is so easy to deal with, and she felt like part of the family by the end of the day. The photos are terrific, and everyone loved being able to sift through the online gallery of photos in their own time to select their preferred ones to keep. We still have to get organised to print the memories but have every confidence in Gill.

    We had the best day out in the park with our family and Gill. She was organised, knew exactly what shots she had to capture and still managed to find time for the candid shots that we love so much – all while keeping one step ahead of the rain! We loved the way she included my daughter’s new in-laws in the shoot after they flew all the way from the UK for our celebrations. When our grandson got bored, she followed him around on his little bike and produced some incredible photos, we can’t wait to see the printed copies. Thank you Gill!

    Gill is as passionate about the families she takes pictures of as she is of her photography. She ensures that the family get what they want out of the shoot and not what she wants as the photographer.

    Gill was so warm and welcoming at our back to school session. She made my kids feel at ease while being photographed and was great at encouraging them to do what was needed – even when they didn’t want to!

    There were so many gorgeous photos in our gallery I had such a hard time choosing my favourites!

    We love our Christmas Sessions with Gill. It’s such a lovely experience for the kids, and Gill makes everyone so relaxed, which means beautiful natural photos. I loved our photos so much that I purchased the whole gallery. Thanks so much for everything Gill 🙂

    We enjoyed our Christmas mini session with Gill. Gill made it fun for all of us especially the kids. The amount of photos to choose from just right. Not too many that it was overwhelming. The session time didn’t feel rushed and the turn around time from photo shoot to final digital files was reasonable. Looking forward to next years Christmas mini session.

    We absolutely loved our photoshoot with Gill. She made it so much fun for us and the photos came out incredible. We will definitely use her again to capture our next special occasion.

  • Catherine

    Gill’s talent goes beyond being a fantastic photographer. Her warmth and fun attitude makes you immediately relax. Her love of family and children shines through her work.

  • The Greens

    With many options for a family photographer in our area we trusted our time and hard earned money with Gill. Best decision we’ve ever made, after never having family photos and with two young, shy children I cannot praise Gill enough for her patience and ability to work with young children. A fun outing capturing life long memories was the result of an hour of our time. The photos turned out amazing and we get comments when family and friends come over.

  • Heather

    Gill’s photos are stunning and she is so lovely to work with! She has shot our little girl three times now and both have been such fabulous experiences.

  • Nikki

    We loved our photo shoot with Gill, she made it a fun and relaxed session with 3 kids, a dog and cat and we love the photos we chose to keep but the ones we didn’t were also great!

  • Daniel

    Gill is great at what she does and produces some exceptional photographs.

  • Heidi Greentree

    Gill Paton Photography did our family photoshoot. This was a Christmas present from Husband before our daughter joined the military, so an emotional and important moment for us. We brought our two oodles along and put our faith in Gill. We are still in awe of her ability to calmly guide everyone into positions and snap away. Her professionalism, care, patience and the photos presented was amazing. Every photo Gill took was beautiful.
    So many beautiful photos only made it more difficult when it came to making our selections. Again, Gill spent the time sitting with us going through each photo and allowing us to change our minds; nothing was too much trouble. Gill was so approachable and easy to work with and she did an incredible job that looked effortless but I know it would have taken much skill and natural talent. Thank you Gill x

  • Sarah

    Gill took some family photographs for us – not an easy task with a 4 month old and 4 year old in the mix! Gill’s patience and easy manner put us all at ease and we ended up with a stunning set of photographs that portrayed our family beautifully and authentically. Thank you Gill for the wonderful memories you captured for us.

  • Wesley Cowan

    We absolutely love the photos Gill took for us. They are hanging all around our house. We would definitely recommend

  • Claire Mulvihill

    We feel fortunate to have found Gill and trust her with capturing our family.
    Her beautiful gentle nature helped us feel at ease and took the time to ensure we had the right setting to get the best photographs.
    Selecting our photos was a lovely experience and we did t feel rushed in selecting and creating how they would be presented.
    A lovely experience and I highly recommend Gill in entrusting her to capture your special moments.

    Gill was such a delight to have photograph my family. She was amazing with my 3 young boys and helping keep me calm while trying to juggle them and a dog for family photos.
    She had us return to have a look at our photos a week later and it was such a nice calm experience in a beautiful cool room, with music to go along with viewing the slide show and water and biscuits available too. It was so nice instead of just viewing the photos on a small computer at home.
    Will definitely be using Gill for our future photos.

  • Kelly

    Wow wow wow, where to even begin, gill is an incredible photographer. She made us all feel so comfortable during our family photo shoot, she is an absolute natural and really captured the most beautiful photos for us. She is professional and really goes that extra mile.

    10000% would recommend her for all types of shoots.

    “We’ve recently had our 3rd photoshoot with Gill. Every time Gill has been absolutely fantastic with the children. She makes everyone feel so welcome and so comfortable and never rushed us even for the shorter duration Christmas minis. The photos have all been fabulous (too many good ones to choose) and the products are fantastic quality. We will be back for more lovely photos as the family grows!.”

  • Sam

    Gill is a phenomenal photographer. We had the best experience during our family photo shoot with Gill. She made it such fun, completely relaxed, and provided excellent direction which resulted in amazing photos of our family. We had the whole family from Grandparents to newborns, Gill was prepared, patient and accommodating throughout the photoshoot. We are beyond happy with the outcome of our photos which she captured beautifully. We highly recommend Gill, and have such special memories of this photoshoot!

  • Natasha

    We recently had a maternity photoshoot with Gill. it was very last minute and somehow we found a magic date and time that worked! It was meant to be. We went to one of Gill’s beautiful recommended locations. I had my husband and two daughters with me. Thanks to the pre photoshoot questionnaire and information, we were equipped with knowledge on what was happening on the day, the sort of outfits that work with the surroundings etc. Gill was equipped with the information I sent in about my family. My 3 year-old was a very reluctant participant in the photoshoot. You would honestly not know by looking at the end result of photos. Gill had a plush toy and bubbles, my daughter was obsessed. Gill won her over. My shy 6 year-old felt comfortable moments into the shoot. The photoshoot was a memorable experience in a good way.
    The photos turned beautifully and Gill has been an absolute pleasure to work with.
    A very professional and wonderful experience being photographed by Gill Paton Photography.

  • Tess Wright

    Photo shoots with five kids have always been stressful for our family… until we met Gill! She is warm, friendly and professional. Gill knew the best locations in our local area and took beautiful natural photos that captured the individual personalities of each of us. She engage with my children, making them feel comfortable which made the whole session fun and relaxed.. I can’t recommend Gill highly enough and we will definitely be using her again in the future.

  • Claire

    Gill was so patient and caring to my kids during their shoot. Especially my 4 year old son who did not want his photo taken! The quality of her end product is outstanding.

  • Kim

    Gill was absolutely amazing, would recommend to anyone considering a photoshoot. Everything was seamless and we didn’t have to think too much about the photo session (it was our first time doing something like this)
    The viewing was really special and we loved it so much and was such a special experience. Thank you Gill!

  • Leila Home

    Gill was fabulous for our family photoshoot! She managed to capture some beautiful photos even when the children weren’t interested in cooperating. Thank you again Gill!

  • Mariza Jansen van Rensburg

    Gill Paton is a brilliant photographer and runs a very professional business. We booked a family photoshoot, which was only a pleasure from beginning to end. Gill was great with everything from venue to outfit suggestions. The photoshoot itself was a fabulous experience with Gill giving exactly the right amount of direction. We walked away from our session super excited to see our photos. And then the biggest treat choosing photos from the big screen in Gill’s studio, while sipping bubbles and snacking on olives and cheese. Very special!! Gill captured our family so beautifully and we will most definitely use her again. I cannot recommend Gill highly enough.

  • Jewels

    Our sincere thanks to Gill for a fun photoshoot that gave us treasured memories. Highly recommended!

  • Mitra

    Gill is is amazing, unfortunately we arrived late for our photoshoot session and my 2 months old baby was crying most of the time, but Gill still managed to get some beautiful photos of us . We are very happy with our experience and definitely recommend her.

  • Jenny Boorer

    Wow!!! We had a wonderful experience. Gill was very accomodating and welcomed us into her home studio. She took the time to build rapport with our three year old and was very understanding of needing to stop to feed our newborn. We came back the following day after our newborn (& toddler) had reached their limits – which ensured we got the perfect photos. These are photos we’ll treasure forever! We are heading back very soon to get some Christmas photos!

  • Laure Domec

    We were incredibly lucky to have a photoshoot with Gill. It was so the best photoshoot we had with me and my family. Gill was very kind, patient and prepared for the day and to deal with the little ones. She was really well prepared to make sure our experience will be outstanding, and it was thanks to her dedication and all the little gestures she prepared for us. During the day she took care of us like no one would and was so thoughtful. No one missed out and she went beyond expectations. We walked out with beautiful pictures that we and our family from abroad will cherish forever. We will definitely use her services again. Gill is one of the rare talented photographers out here, and we are so happy to have found her.

  • Susie Riby

    Gill Paton Photography made our family photo shoot a very enjoyable experience. Gill really put our family at ease, she knew exactly which spots on our chosen location would give the best results. We are delighted with our finished product, a beautiful wall art for us to cherish. We are very grateful to Gill for capturing on camera our beautiful family.

  • Ingrid McIlwraith

    Gill did a photoshoot with me and my family on the beach which is our special place together. She was calm and relaxed and she made everyone feel comfortable. We never felt rushed as she worked with us and made sure that the waves, sand and lighting at sunset were just perfect. She took a few fun family shots of us all laughing naturally and also some more posed photos. She prompted us to smile or think of events which would alter the expression on our faces. It was a very enjoyable experience and a treasured time with my family. I now have these lovely photos to treasure. Gill was so patient as I chose the ones to have printed into the most gorgeous book. She guided me so professionally with her artistic eye and genuine care. She is passionate and professional and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a special family treasure in a set of photographs.

  • H.Moore

    We thoroughly enjoyed our photoshoots with Gill and we have walked away with the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. We were able to relax in Gill’s fabulous studio whilst she captured our peaceful, sleepy newborn, giving us the perfect opportunity to stare at him some more! Gill was so accomodating from the beginning, basing our whole photoshoot around our baby’s feeds and needs and allowing plenty of time to enjoy working together. Choosing our photos at her studio was definitely exciting, it was a very personalised experience, like a movie theatre, only 10x better! Gill has beautifully captured our precious newborn bundle of joy and we will be forever grateful.
