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.

Sports

Teams, players and game day

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.

Group products

Five things people call “the class photo”

They are genuinely different products, and the names do not make that obvious, so here they are drawn side by side. Each one is described again in your gallery at the point you choose it.

Group photo print

$35

The actual photograph of everybody standing together, taken on the day. One picture, one moment.

Class & team composite

$45

Not a group shot. Everyone photographed separately, then arranged in a grid with each name printed underneath.

Featured class print

$59

The same grid, but your child is enlarged at the front. Every family gets a copy featuring their own child.

Memory mate

$49

Your child’s own portrait printed beside the whole-group photograph, together on one sheet.

Hero poster

$79

Your player cut out of the background and layered over a graphic in the club’s colours, name across the front. A3.

Not every product is offered on every job — what appears in your gallery depends on what the school or club booked.

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.

Order early, pay less

Where a job runs an early-bird, the discount starts the day you first open your gallery — not the day it was published. Open it late and you still get the full window, because a discount that expired before you knew about it is just a late fee wearing a hat.

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.

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

Tell us the date, the headcount and what you need at the end of it, and we will come back with a written quote against these prices — usually the same day.
