Frequently Asked Questions
While we do have some major props/decorations like tents, piano, tub, air Balloon. What makes a background come together are the little props we add in addition, if you choose a prop like the piano for example. So we will add crates, flowers, number signs, lights, etc to bring everything together.
So you can choose a background we have already done or I will just do a cute set up base on the outfit your baby will be wearing as we have for all other shoots.
So while you can choose a prop to be used the final result of the setup will be based on the little decor/props items we add-in
So when booking if you would like to use for example the piano you can make mention and we will include it.
All of our packages include any of the background decors you would like. However, if doing one of our backgrounds with balloon arch it’s an additional cost
While we would like to have a lower cost, to keep the business afloat we have to keep in mind the overhead expenses of:
Renting a space
bills for the space
Camera Equipment
cost for props which are very expensive seeing most of them have to be sourced from overseas
Our time
editing
paying employees
as well as making a profit to continue
So the packages aren’t just base on a background you select or the amount of photos in the package

Unfortunately, we are unable to promise perfect kids photos. We are complete strangers to your kids and we are unable to predict how they will react to a new space and people. We do however try everything given our experience to get them to smile and sit for the photos along with your help as the parent/s. So what we do is mainly capturing kids in their moments as we cant control how a child will react.
Given our schedule and we are a small team once a delivery date has passed without choosing your photos, it makes it harder for us to edit them when you do select because we have other clients to deliver to.
To give ourselves enough time to edit everyone, unfortunately, if you select after your delivery date, this will result in a delay to delivery your final images and this can take up to another 15 biz days or MORE excluding Mondays.
What this means, your images are no longer priority and it is base on when we get the chance to edit them so even if we provide a date it may change base on our work load which means this can even take more than a month for you to receive the photos
In our busy season if you do not pick on time and we have the time we will pick the images and you will have to choose any others you wanted after
