Usman is very calm, composed, focused and punctual. I am stunned & impressed with his quality service. He is such a PRO in clicking pics. I would consider him in every event/party in the future as a photographer as exceeding expectations is guranteed.

Birthday gram + balloons

$200

North Bondi NSW 2026, Australia

22nd Nov 2025

Was hoping to have a birthday surprise visit for my boyfriend, Todd’s 55th birthday on 28/11. If it’s not inappropriate I thought it would be hilarious to have a girl come as a stripper (no stripping necessary) & Happy Birthday balloon bundle to sing him “happy birthday” like Marilyn Monroe did for JFK. Amd then start to take her coat off at the end of the song and have a super cheesy temporary tattoo at the top of her arm that says “Todd”.

Need decorator for birthday party

Ana did a lovely job with the overall décor — everything looked beautiful and thoughtfully arranged. There were a few hiccups and the setup didn’t finish exactly on time, but considering she’s new and offered a very reasonable price, she did a commendable job overall.
