Testimonials about the Charlotte Cake Smash Photography Experience

If you're looking for a VIP experience, look no further. A cake smash with twins is not an easy task, but we are delighted with the final results and they are well worth the investment! One of our girls was grouchy on smash day but Sofia was able to capture some fantastic photos anyway ranging from beautiful to hilarious. Everything was well prepared and organized and Sofia is so sweet and down to earth and just a joy to work with, her passion for her craft and love of children is evident! I only leave reviews when an experience is highly problematic or above and beyond fantastic, and this certainly qualifies as the latter. I'd recommend Nicso Studio to any and everyone.
