For families with more than 7 pax coming for the photoshoot, we recommend the hirer to book two slots to ensure a more relaxed pace of photoshoot. Hirer will also have to take note on the age group of the youngest family member(s) and bear that in mind when making a decision on making a single slot or double slot booking.
Alternatively, hirers can top up $30 per pax on top of base package of 4 pax. If a single slot of 45 minutes is booked, hirers are to expect the pace of the photoshoot to increase proportionately with the number of pax due to additional permutations required to cover within the same time period hired.
The studio will do our best cover all permutations of the family members present and within the time of hire.
Booking of double slots would cover 105 minutes of studio shoot time, up to 8 pax and 30 edited images in digital copies.
Additional pax pro-rated at $30 each (one head = one pax, regardless of pet/baby/child). Additional image pro-rated at $4 each.
All your selected images will be edited. The Love Studios do not provide/sell raw/unedited images for quality control purposes
