We had baby portraits taken by Figments for our 2 week old, and I was overjoyed with the result! We were made very welcome in the studio, and the photographer was patient and skilled at handling infants, and put our son Isaac to sleep in no time. The photos were exactly what we wanted, beautiful, soulful portraits to remember this time by. He's already so big we hardly recognise him from the photos, thank god we did them early. The album we got took my breath away. I know we could have found a cheaper photographer, but I think you get what you pay for. We have the most beautiful keepsake of our precious boy. I can't wait to head back for his first birthday shots.

Approximate cost: $900

We had children's portraiture done in the studio in O'Connor, under a mother's group session (i'm not sure if she runs these anymore). We paid a session fee and got photography and nibbles included. Given that there were children in the session, I found the studio to be a little underfurnished to keep little ones amused while they were not being photographed. I personally found Janine (the photographer) to be a little "flat" on the day. The packages were inflexible at the lower cost end, which was disappointing for some of our group. However, she did capture some nice images and the online preview ability is a neat idea.

Approximate cost: $~$30 ~A5 size

Thank you for your rating and feedback. Admittedly, the studio is not set up for a portrait party, and this is not a service I generally offer. I prefer to work one on one with families to create some timeless memories, rather than the production line that a portrait party tends to feel like. I did this as a special favour to a client who requested it, and with that many one year old's in the equation, it was bedlam! I could tell that several of the mothers were not really that interested in having photographs taken and that was a shame for those that were as it detracted from their time.

I encourage anyone seeking quality portraits, to invest the time and money into an individual session where your photographer is free to focus on you and your particular needs.
