I remember a man coming in to pick up his images of himself and his wife, bubbling over with enthusiasm and thanks, saying to me:

"There was no way you could tell me how great this experience was going to be beforehand. You told my wife when she came in for the consultation about it but I wasn't there and wouldn't have been convinced. The only hint that made me think maybe was the price - you're not a quick photo-developer at the chemist. The shoot was a breeze - really fun even! No way would I have believed that before. The viewing was the best part: putting them up on the big screen and getting to play around with them - laughing over some of the moments, putting up two images side by side to decide, your guy helping us to cut it down to the ones we really love - it was at least as much fun as taking us out to the movies. And I can see we made the right decisions. Thank you."

Your Viewing can be both the toughest part - selecting just the very best images that you want to keep forever - and the most fun - here's where you get to see the results, reveal them to family and friends, and see what they'd look like when finished.

Check this appointment is definitely going to work in your diary and set up any reminders you need to ensure it doesn't get double-booked.

Do try to allow a good hour for this complimentary viewing. A second viewing costs $50 and, remember, we do need a week or two’s notice of a change to any appointment (48hrs is minimum). Why? Ultimately the most important thing is that no-one has to wait for a month for a Viewing when your cancelled spot could have been theirs this week. We also really do look forward to seeing you, make preparations & set aside time for this 1hr appointment and anticipate showing you some stunning images!

Remember to bring everyone and everything you need to make quality purchasing decisions. Good friends and/or adult family members are always a good idea as your viewing can be a really quite fun experience. Some people even bring a bottle of wine and make an event of it.

Remember to talk to your other half about your plans and the pricing before you come – we like to ensure everyone is well informed at every stage as this saves on unexpected concerns and means they can focus your fantastic results.

Young children may become restless however so, for your own comfort and ability to make decisions, this is a good time to leave them at home (or at least bring something fun for them to do quietly for an hour – all people are different and you know them best so we leave it to your judgement if this is practical – we’d be happy to see them if it is).
