PORTRAIT TESTIMONIALS
Dear Jan, I don't often write testimonials but I just have to in this instance. The photography session the girls and I had with you was the most fun we have had on a day out in ages! I can't believe the journey was only about 100m, if that, because when you look at the images it looks like we went for miles. We just had such fun, the horses, the stables, the rocks, the butterflies. It seems like you were so in tune with everything that nature itself wanted to join in as well. I recall asking you for a set of portraits which weren't the run-of-the-mill ones I always seem to see of children, I wanted something different but which still captured the girls' personalities, and you delivered that in spades.
Thank you, Jan. You are probably the one professional I have absolutely no qualms at all recommending to my friends and family. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

We commissioned Jan Maree to take some photos of my mother for her 80th birthday. Jan duly collected my parents and took them to Wrights Water Gardens for the photography shoot. My parents had a wonderful time with Jan Maree. Shortly after the photos were taken my father passed away so Jan's photos are the last record of their lives together. The album Jan compiled is not a series of photos but instead an artistic story of the love they shared. We are so grateful to Jan for these albums and we will treasure them. Everyone should have some special photos and who better than Jan Maree to take them? Jan's dedication and patience is apparent as she always gets the perfect shot. (Sometimes many perfect shots, so its difficult to choose just one!). My father joked about Jan's instructions to "cuddle up"- but the result is a wonderful big picture that now hangs on my mother's wall showing my parents with their arms around each other, looking so happy and so in love after a lifetime of being together. So special.

Jan Maree photographed my grandchildren for me when they were visiting from Australia. She was fantastic with the kids and really encouraged them to be themselves resulting in photographs that show their personalities off wonderfully. They went to several locations around our house and gardens which made it hard to choose out of the photos - there were so many really good ones. Jan Maree has been taking photographs of my family for years, starting off with the equestrian eventing scene with my daughter. She genuinely cares about the quality of her photography, and the people she works with, and we have built up a fantastic relationship over the years, so that I now call her my friend as well. The beautiful photographs she has captured for me include many equestrian shows, my daughter's cat, my horse, my grandchildren, and my son's wedding. I can honestly recommend Jan Maree to anyone who wants some really great photography from an artist who cares.
Thank you Jan.

Leaving your beloved home that has so many memories attached is never an easy thing. Jan captured the true essence of what this house meant for us and turned it into a book that we will cherish forever. Jan brings with her a really special quality that creates extra-special photos that have that x-factor. Jan has a fun factor in her photo shoots and photos but she is a true professional and gets the shots every time. We LOVE our photo book and we are recommending her to everyone we know because she is so talented. We will be getting a similar photo book done for every house that means this much to us.
