All orders are paid with Credit Card online. There is no cash or envelope handling for the school or centre.

All of our team hold a Working with Children Check WWCC for their State.​

We select photographers and assistants who love and have experience working with children.

We prefer to partner with professional photographers who already run their own Children's Portrait Photography businesses.

Our assistants have been recruited based on their organisational skills, personality, and playful zest. 

Usually from a childcare or babysitting background.

Even if travel is involved we do not charge the school or childcare centre, nor do we raise our standard package prices to penalize remote bookings.

You will be provided with printed class groups, the digital files of these for your establishment's use, files of all students for your management software along with prints of the team individually or as a staff composite.

Depending on the size of your establishment you will benefit from additional rewards, such as artwork for your administration.
