Frequently Asked Questions
What types of characters can we hire for a birthday party?
We offer a wide range of characters, including superheroes, princesses, fairytale favourites and popular cartoon characters. If there’s a special request, we can often arrange it with enough notice.
Are the staff and photographer certified to work with children?
Yes, both our staff and photographer hold Working With Children Blue Cards for your child’s safety and peace of mind.
How far in advance should we book a character?
We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred character and time slot.
How do you photograph kids at a birthday party when they won't sit still?
A candid, documentary-style approach usually works best, capturing moments like candle-blowing or gift-opening as they happen rather than stopping for posed shots. A faster shutter speed helps freeze movement during high-energy games. Letting kids lead rather than directing them too heavily tends to produce more natural, relaxed expressions.
What is the best time of day to photograph an outdoor kids' party?
Late morning to early afternoon generally works well for outdoor parties, though harsh midday sun can create shadows on faces. Many photographers prefer the softer light an hour or two before sunset, though this isn't always practical around a child's schedule. Shaded areas can help reduce squinting if the party runs around midday.
How many photos will I receive from a kids' party photography session?
This depends on the length of the session and the package booked. A one to two-hour party typically results in 50 to 150 edited images, selected from several hundred raw shots taken on the day. It's worth checking whether the quoted number is a full edited gallery or just a preview set.
Can I request specific photos or moments to be captured at my child's party?
Yes, most photographers welcome a list of priority people or moments, such as a visiting relative or a themed activity like a costume reveal. Sharing this beforehand lets the photographer plan around it without disrupting the party. Parents can also flag any children who prefer not to be photographed.
