Great! Valent is a great photographer and knows how to bring out both the inner and outer beauty in a person that shines through the photo.

I am expecting my second baby and I was really keen to make a good memory of this period of my life. I was looking for a photographer who can show how much this pregnancy mean for me and my family. I am really happy I found a Valent Lau as I liked their work from the first sight.

Valent is a professional photographer and a very nice person. He put lots of effort during the prep time trying to understand our character. Photoshoot itself was very easy and comfortable.
I loved all the photos even before they became an art work. The only disappointment was that I couldn't have them all.

Now I am looking forward to meet my little baby and have a newborn photoshoot with Valent.

We came to do some photos with our baby Hugo to remember this special time because he's growing so fast! We came to Valent and it's been a wonderful experience. He wanted to know our story, so that way he could know what was so special about us and our connection with Hugo. He makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed during the photo shoot. That's essential to show that relationship that you have with your baby in the photos.

The Design Consultation after that I think is the most enjoyable part of the process. We got to see all the amazing photos in a slideshow and create our artwork together. We made some artwork for the wall we really loved, and it's all really worth it. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone with a baby.

My friend recommended I speak to Valent. I was never comfortable in front of the camera, so I was very apprehensive, certain that I wouldn't know what to do, how to smile, or what to wear. The first time I spoke to Valent he reassured me that I would be fine. He called me before the shoot and generously spent an hour talking with me on the phone in a discovery process - not only was he taking the trouble to understand what was important to me but he also helped me tap into my own essence and what makes me tick.

That gave me the confidence to trust that Valent would with be able to capture the 'real me'. Valent made me feel comfortable, relaxed and even confident from the minute I arrived at his studio. He guided me through the whole process with patience, encouragement and genuine interest in who I am.

My favourite part of the experience was the ease with which Valent offered simple easy to follow directions about how to stand and hold myself intermingled with a relaxed conversational discussion on genuinely meaningful topics. And of course seeing the finished product up on the big screen in his office!

Thank you Valent for doing what you did to give me the confidence to put my best face forward and for making the whole process easy for me to just be me in front of the camera.

Valent is not only a highly professional photographer, he is also a deep-thinking individual with a genuine interest in and care for the people who entrust him to capture their truest essence in a single moment, for perpetuity.

Valent, I'd say that it was an easy 5/5 for me! It was a pretty hectic day as one would expect and I'm thankful that you were able to manage through and give ideas for the shots at all the places around uni.

It was fantastic! It took some effort getting to the studio but it was well worth it. Valent is warm, friendly and professional. He made me feel at ease and gave direction when needed. This shoot was one of the most fun I've had and the photos were amazing! Valent is wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend him! :)

It took some effort getting to the studio after the birth as we had some complications and had to go back to the hospital a few days after initially coming home with our daughter. My wife almost didn't want to be in the photos because she was so tired. But we are so happy we made it in for the photoshoot!

When we look at our artwork on the walls, we remember how our daughter was at that age, and the amazing moments Valent was able to capture which we will cherish forever. I definitely recommend making that effort going in the first week after birth. It was so worth it!
