We got our photos a few days ago and we absolutely loved the surprise!!! It's gorgeous thank you so much!!

We opened the smaller photos and they are absolutely beautiful. You guys did an amazing job. We love them!! We haven't opened the tubes yet because I do not want them to get ruined but they are getting framed and then it's like waiting for another surprise. From what we've seen so far, we are extremely impressed.

Once they are all framed I will email photos thank you for everything!

We are so happy to have found you guys and appreciate everything.

Sigh … I don't even know what to say … speechless …

We met with the framing specialist on Saturday and we unveiled the prints together … she opened the store early so that we could have some privacy :) I had no idea what was involved with taking them out of the package so thank goodness we didn't try to do it ourselves … we spent 3 hours admiring your work and picking out the perfect mat and frames and we should have them back by the end of the month … she loved the prints and was VERY impressed not only with the photos, but the quality of paper you printed them on and the careful attention to detail in the packaging.

We are so excited to see the finished pieces and to have them on display in our home.

VERY GRATEFUL!!!

Yes back to the real world of Port Douglas, warm and sunny today.

I still can't believe that I did the photo shoot with Avi! I had never anticipated to do nude shots all I wanted was to have beautiful photos and have a day of "celebrity treatment" - which was certainly what we had ! we had an amazing day. I felt different after the photo shoot with Avi, not sure how to explain it but it was like being liberated and that at 50 I can do something that is shocking - it was overwhelming.

Please pass on a big Thankyou to Rose and Phoebe - those girls were so good and professional in every way and to you and Avi thanks for your patience and making my day a memorable one.

Hi Avi,

My name is John, the very proud boyfriend of TJ. I do not normally send these types of emails and / or acknowledgement of appreciation however, I find myself struck and as excited as a young boy at the site of your excellent work with T's Photo Shoot. My love looks in your photos only as my heart sees her Perfect!! Words can not express my appreciation for the apparent synergy between your talent, Alia and Rose and my beautiful girlfriend.

Thank you very much for the happiness that your talent will provide to TJ and myself forever.

I just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU to you all for such an amazing and exciting day! i must admit i was terribly nervous in the week leading up to the shoot, and on the morning of the shoot, i wished i had trained harder in the gym or at least put it off another week. but i'm glad i didn't do that now.

alia, thank you for putting me at ease. as soon as i walked into the studio, you were so warm and friendly, and i felt right at home straight away. avi was so funny and i felt very comfortable with him immediately. by the way, i did have a very sore back the next day! rose, thank you for making me look and feel like a million dollars. i got quite a few stares walking back to the hotel that night!

i'll definitely be back for another shoot once i'm in better shape.

i will be back in sydney in a few months if not sooner, so will pop by to say hello.

Our pictures are now up on the wall and they look fantastic - they are the absolute focal point of our home now. The entire experience was so easy from the time we first walked into your gallery to look at the artworks with no plans to book a shoot, through to receiving our pictures beautifully framed and safely packaged in their shipping crate.

In the days leading up to the shoot, Glynnis was terrified but when the day arrived Alia did an amazing job putting her at ease, and Avi was a complete professional in producing tasteful images that made her look even more beautiful than in real life. She is so proud of the results and glad she conquered her nerves that she now recommends it to all her friends.

But imagine my surprise when the shoot was in progress to be invited (ordered?) to partake in an unplanned (by me at least) couples shoot. How could I say no when my beautiful wife had already bravely completed her shoot? It turned out to be the best thing I have ever done though, as the resulting picture is our favourite of the entire set. We cannot believe how well Avi captured our love for each other in a single image.

Delivery of the finished product was arranged by Alia. The shipping firm managed to slow the process down but Alia assisted to keep them moving, and the images, arriving on Valentines day of all days, were worth the wait.

Thank you Avi and Alia, we will always drop by to say hello when passing through Sydney and we recommend your talents to anyone looking for a personal and beautiful artwork for their home. Fondest regards

Hi Avi....well I have been home a week now, freezing cold. I had such an amazing afternoon with you and your team. I was on cloud 9, and it has been hard for me to keep my mouth shut about our photo shot with my boyfriend....it was one of the high lights of my trip to Sydney.

Thanks again for an awesome, fun, relaxing and exciting afternoon. Keep me abreast of my order. I know you said 4-6 weeks.

Be well, hello to your wife and the other gals.

Our trip and experience in Sydney was memorable beyond words. We will remember our time in Australia for the rest of our lives. During our last dinner there we talked about everything we did and we talked about our favorite parts of the trip. We both agreed that our time with you at the studio was one of our favorites.

There are no words to express the gratitude I feel for the memory you created for us. Thomas is a little more modest and I was a little worried that it might be a bit much for him, but your little family there made us feel so at ease. From the moment we walked in to the door to the moment we shared our farewell hug, we felt like family.

Having a very skilled and professional makeup artist create a beautiful face and fun sexy hair was dazzling. I felt like a princess and I couldn't stop smiling. I felt so beautiful looking in the mirror watching a different side of myself come to life. It was truly a dream come true. I wasn't sure how it would be in front of the camera, but Avi made it so easy. He made it playful and fun and took away any and all inhibitions. Like most females, I'm very aware of my imperfections. As hard as I work on taking care of myself, there are always those days when I see myself in a certain light and all I can see are the blemishes. In front of the camera, I felt perfect within all those little imperfections. I felt sexy and desirable and adorable and sweet. It was absolutely magical!!!

To sit in front of the screen and see the beauty Avi captured was precious. Something magical happened that day and I fell more in love with myself and my beautiful man. My heart opened more fully and I was left with an impression that will never leave my mind. I'm eternally grateful for it all … for everything … for the team of talent who helped bring the art to life … the comfortable energy in the studio … the sincerity in everything you said … the sweetness … the permission to be myself … the chance to be a model … to be silly … to be sexy … to wear more make up than I've ever worn before … the chance to be free with my body … the connection … the art we will soon have hanging on our wall … for turning 40!!!! 
So much love and profound respect …

He did say, "I don't want to know how much they costed" , I said "don't worry Im not going to tell you..." He was impressed that you signed them. He said today, have I put my photos in to be framed Yet ? Did you notice the gloves? The photos are safe and I will get them framed ASAP. Cant wait to hang them up in our new home.

Dear Avi , Alia & Rose Wow…OMG From the moment we walked into your studio and looked around at your creative Art work I instantly fell in love with your creations and I knew from that moment this is what I would love to have.

My darling Husband was also captivated he knew by the look on my face and asked me “ would I like this for my Birthday”, what a gift! we couldn’t stop talking about it trying to visualize what sort of pose I would do and what I will wear and so on.

Through the eye of a lens you captured that all inspiring pose and did an amazing job, not only did I reveal my sole you captured this in an awesome way and gave it the Wow factor.

From the day of the shoot, not for one moment did I feel awkward, you have this calming effect which reflects in your personality, forget about the bottle of Mum Champagne you made me feel very special and when we finished I couldn’t wait to see view the finished product.

You are very talented Avi to say the least! and the reaction I have had from family and friend is Wow Wow OMG and so on, they said you have taken 25 years off me and words to this effect you remind me of Jane Fonder in the movie Barberella .

Alia you also did an amazing job, you made me feel very relaxed and kept my husband occupied while we did the shoot on the day of his birthday ,Who’s Birthday present was it?

Rose you did a fabulous job on my hair and makeup, you made me look flawless, thank you once again.
