Pricing

Our prices, in public

Almost nobody in this industry publishes what they charge. Families find out on photo day, and schools find out after they have committed. We would rather you knew now.

Every price on this page includes GST.

Schools

Portraits, packs and yearbooks

Photo day costs the school nothing. Families buy what they want afterwards, from a private gallery, with every pack carrying a genuine full-resolution file they keep for good.

No cost to the club, and ten percent of gross sales back to you as fundraising — on sales, not on profit, because those are not the same number and only one of them is worth anything to a committee.

We are not the cheapest. Here is what the difference buys.

The file is yours

Every pack includes a genuine print-quality digital, forever. No archive fee to get it back next year, and no lower-resolution version on the cheaper tiers.

A turnaround in writing

Galleries in 2, 5 or 10 business days depending on the size of the job, counted from the last day of shooting. Prints within ten business days of ordering closing. Not "a few weeks" — a date you can hold us to.

Blue Card, insured, consented

Every photographer holds a current Blue Card. We carry public liability. Photo permission is asked as a question, and a separate one before any image is ever shown publicly.

No fees at the edges

No late fee. No search fee. No re-order fee. Galleries stay open twelve months and prices are GST-inclusive, so the number you see is the number you pay.

The turnaround, in full

Counted from the last day of shooting, and measured to the moment you and your families are told the gallery is live — not to when it quietly appeared.

Up to 100 peopleHeadshot days, small clubs, most formals
2 business days
100 to 400 peopleMost school and club photo days

10 business days

Prints follow within ten business days of ordering closing. For comparison, the fastest turnaround published by anyone else in this market is fifteen working days, and the largest operators quote four to eight weeks.

Every job is a bit different
