What is a sensitive session?
We believe all children should be able to experience Santa and the magic of Christmas in a way that works for them.
- This service is only for children on the spectrum or with extra sensory needs and their family.
- This is an extended session at a discounted price to allow for settling and calming time (not extra photography).
- We will adjust the studio environment to your requirements within our capabilities such as no background music and closing curtain from public view (Please note in your booking what needs your child has and how we can accommodate)
- Realistic expectations – Although we can't guarantee it, the overall goal is to get at least one great photo and give your child an awesome experience, You will receive all viable photos taken.
NOTE: Flash photography will be used but limited when and where possible if specified in your booking.
FAQ's
Are you WWC accredited?
We are "Working With Children" accredited as a specialist children's photographer.
How many people can I have in my session?
These recommendations are guidelines only to ensure a quality experience. You should decide based on the dynamics of your group how many sessions you might need. Single sessions are strictly 10 minutes with Santa. We recommend for larger families that multiple sessions are booked back-to-back to ensure everyone has a chance to say hello to Santa and get some great photos.
Session times vs group size
(Recommended guideline only)
1-2 children - Single session 10 minutes (5-10 minutes per child)
3-5 children - Double sessions 20 minutes (4-6 minutes per child)
6-8 children - Triple sessions 30 minutes (3.5-5 minutes per child)
Sensitive sessions are 20 minutes
We recommend for larger families that double or triple sessions are booked to ensure everyone has a chance to say hello to Santa and get some great photos.
If you decide to book a single session with a very large family, we may not be able to accommodate all your photography poses in the allotted time.
If you have all older children who pose without issues this saves time, conversely babies and toddlers can consume more time due to settling.
Please use this as a guide only - you know your family best!
How many photos do I get?
We don't specify a number because we feel its better to offer everything we capture. It really depends on how your session goes.
You will get all "viable" shots after culling.
What if I am running late?
Our sessions are very popular, and we must run to time. If you are late to your session, we will do our best to make up some time if possible but it is not guaranteed and you may have a shorter session. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before your session.
Please note, parking can be a challenge, particularly as we get closer to Christmas. Please leave plenty of time to find parking before your session time.
What if my child does not want to participate?
Please note, you are purchasing a session time. Although every effort will be made to accommodate and try and encourage participation, in the unfortunate event that your session does not go as planned you may choose to terminate your session and forfeit your deposit, only if terminated within the first 5 minutes of your booking. If 6 minutes or more is exceeded, the full session fee will be charged.
If you do decide to terminate your session due to this, no photos taken will be provided, if the full session is charged you will receive the photos taken.
Deposit Policy
We require a 20% deposit to secure your booking. This deposit is non-refundable in the event you cannot attend your session for any reason.
If you notify us with reasonable notice (72 hours minimum) and we are able to rebook your spot to another customer, your deposit will be credited to your account for a future session. If we are unsuccessful in filling your spot, your deposit will be forfeited. This deposit covers part of the cost of staff who have been made available for your booking.
