Our Photography Process
We will work with you to identify suitable days for your photo shoot. Once the dates are agreed, we will supply you with relevant posters and flyers to distribute to families.
Children will be allocated a scheduled day for their photographs and will be asked to pre register. We encourage all families to pre register on our website prior to photo day. This ensures a variety of photos are taken. Children that have not pre registered will still have a photo taken but only one or two.
During the week we will work within each room and with each child to capture their little personalities.
Images will then be presented to families through a private online gallery. Families will then have 10 days to place their orders of digital files, prints and or products.
Approximately 2-3 weeks after print orders close we will deliver all print products to the centre to be collected by families.

On The Day
We spend some time in each room interacting with the children so they feel comfortable with us and the cameras. We capture individual portraits of the children while they are playing both inside and outside, composite group class photos and staff portraits.
Family Previews
We offer a quick turn around time for families. 3-4 weeks after we have visited the centre photographs will be available for families to preview online and purchase. We will deal directly with families to share photos of their child privately and securely via a website gallery. This removes all the time consuming administration for your centre. We liaise with each family individually, no tiny proof sheets, order forms or money collection is required. Families will be contacted electronically and they can privately view images of their own child and then make a purchase.
Purchasing
We remove any inconvenience for centres in terms of order forms and handling cash, by offering a fast online secure ordering service to families. Should families choose to purchase child care photos, we have products to suit all budgets. Prints start from $15 and we have a range of affordable packages and products. Orders are placed online and payments can be made securely online using a credit card or via a direct bank transfer. At the end of the buying period, we deliver a personalised envelope for each family that have made a purchase. This will contain prints, group photos, or online digital files allowing families to print and share their photos to their hearts content!

Frequently Asked Questions

No, there are no upfront fees for the centre or for families. We do ask that families pre register their child but no payment is required.
