“Over the many years in which I have had my networking events featured by Cheshire Life, Kirsty has covered most of them. Kirsty is reliable and highly professional. At most of the events, I didn't even have to give her any instructions as she knew exactly which photos I would want included. She always photographed the speakers and the most interesting looking groups of people. Kirsty has a knack of capturing the best photos at the most flattering angles. I always knew that if Kirsty took my photo for the magazine I would be more than happy with the result. It has been a pleasure to watch Kirsty at work as she comes across as unflappable and she is always smiling and putting people at ease. She always managed to make the most camera shy attendee feel relaxed. I am grateful to Kirsty for providing everlasting memories with such beautiful photos of my special and important occasions”
