What do I need to do for photos to be taken of my child ?  Step 1:  Fill out the registration form by clicking HERE.  Registration is required PRIOR to photo days.  Registration gives us permission to photograph your child. Without registration - no photos are taken individually of your child. A deposit fee may or may not be required depending on your centre. If a deposit is required - it is given as credit to purchase a package after you see your photos.

What are the prices of Photo Packages/ Prints ?  We have packages to suit all budgets.

• Single digital files - $25 each OR they discounted eg 5 digital files for $75.
• Print Packages starting from a competitive $38
• Group Photo Prints - $35 (discounted with any package purchase)
• Keepsake Album packages containing a mix of different images from your gallery in 5 x 7 inch Prints + matching digital files
• Individual items such as single prints, enlargements and photo gifts
• For a FULL list of Package prices - see your centre's registration page. 
• Siblings at same centre: Packages are priced PER CHILD. A package is required to be selected per child and combining photos into one package is not permitted. Sibling photos of children together are placed into one child / or the youngest child's photo gallery to be ordered within that child's photo package selected.

​What if my child is absent on Photo day ? ​​ We understand that sickness/unforseeable circumstances occur. As we are at the centre for usually more than 1-2 days there may be an opportunity to come in whilst we are still at the centre.  Please Contact Us to reschedule your child's photos during our time at your centre.  If we have finished our photo sessions at your centre we may be able to come back on 1 occasion only (depending on availability) and an upfront fee is required (with credit towards purchases) for your child to be photographed in this instance.​  Please note: usually we are booked out every week - so generally we just refund your registration fee. 

What should I dress my child in for photo day ?    The best photos are not always about fancy clothes but rather about seeing your child's happy beautiful face.  Nice clean clothes are really all that’s needed.​  If you have specific instructions - please note it in your registration form and/or let the class teacher know. We do not retake photos without a payment of $35 as a reshoot fee if we are not aware of a clothing request. eg - Jumpers off for photos in winter.    Please contact us to reshoot whilst STILL at the centre to arrange this. We do not return for reshoots if we have finished at your child's centre. Click HERE to read our blog post for lots of tips for Preparing your child for photo day.

PLEASE NOTE: we only have time for 1 set of clothing. Requests for clothing changes during a kindy/childcare photo session is not permitted. 

Do you take Sibling photos ?    Yes, absolutely ! We love capturing the interactions and love between siblings. If your siblings are both/all enrolled at the centre - we photograph them at some point during the morning that you have selected for photos. 
Each sibling must be registered for sibling photos to be taken.  A gallery of images is provided for each child separately with the photos of the siblings together placed into the youngest child's photo gallery. Please select the SAME photo day for each of your siblings so we can photograph them together. 

Can I include siblings that are not at the centre ?   ​At some centres we offer sessions with OLDER school age siblings only.  This is time permitting and MUST be booked in with us on registration.  There will be the option on the registration form if we are offering this at your child's kindy/ centres.  Fees apply.   Contact admin@redcherryimages.com.au if you need further information about this.  There is a $35 deposit fee for this session that is given as credit towards your purchase.  

PLEASE NOTE: We do not photograph siblings NOT enrolled at the centre that are younger than school age due to time constraints and other factors. Please arrange a family session on a weekend for this service. Our priority is to capture children registered at the centre plus possibly older school age children for sibling photos only.​

Do we photograph Friendship photos ?​  Yes, by special request only for Kindy age children. This is a unique service to Red Cherry Images.  Due to privacy rulings, I need written permission (an email is fine) from parents of both/all children in the friendship photo as photos are shown in both/all galleries of children in the friendship photo.  Please arrange this ahead of time to avoid disappointment. 

What if my child does not want to be photographed / is shy ?  As our service allows more time with each child this often gives the opportunity for your child to warm to us during the morning.   Sometimes a smile may not happen but a cute expression might – or we may capture them doing an activity they love.   For the nursery/toddler age - we do our very best to capture them whilst they are awake during the morning session.  If they are sleeping we come back to them at a later time slot in the morning of the session.
