Why us

Six reasons, no waffle

If you only read one of these pages, this is the one.

1. You know the price before you start

It's on the home page. $29, every photo, full size. You don't have to enquire, wait for a brochure, or sit through a pricing tier chart.

2. Nothing is deliberately held back

There's no "basic pack" made bad on purpose. There's one pack and it has everything in it. Digital files aren't an upgrade, they're the product.

3. Nobody chases you

One email when your gallery opens. That's the entire marketing campaign. No reminders, no last-chance, no "your photos expire tomorrow".

4. Siblings cost nothing extra

Two kids, three kids, five kids — the sibling shots are in the pack. You pay per child for their own photos and that's the end of it.

5. Your kid gets more than one go

We shoot six to ten frames per child. If the first one's a blink, there are nine more. You see all of them and keep all of them.

6. We come back for free

Sick on the day? We return. No charge, no argument, no "catch-up fee". Usually inside a fortnight.

The question everyone's too polite to ask

"If it's twenty-nine dollars, what's wrong with it?"

Fair question. Here's the honest answer: nothing is wrong with the photography. What's missing is everything around it.

We don't have salespeople. We don't print catalogues. We don't pay centres a commission for choosing us. We don't have a call centre or a "portrait consultant". We don't do the thing where a nice person rings you to talk about wall art.

Those are the things that cost sixty extra dollars. Not the camera, and not the time we spend with your child.

Got questions about how it works?

Absent kids, consent, what to wear, how long you get to order — all answered.
