For studio shoots, we return the colour edited photos on the following week's Sunday. For clients who wish to have their photos returned earlier, you may opt for express editing (3 days) at an additional $50.

Our styled sets are changed periodically. We recommend you to subscribe to our newsletter to get notified on set releases and/or turn on notifications via @studiokinu.co on Instagram

Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. All deposits are non-refundable as this helps to protect our business which has turned away all other potential bookings for your session. Please refer to our in depth guIde for rescheduling - http://studiokinu.co/rescheduling-policy

We do not have a limit on the total number of pax, but we recommend keeping it to 40 pax and below. Feel free to consult us if you have more.

Our photographer will help to arrange your family. We will rotate between full family photos, individual smaller family nucleus, individual photos of children etc.

We will typically start off with families with babies/toddlers to help warm them up. Once they are warmed up, we will pull everyone together for the full family photo quickly, in case they get cranky towards the bad.

Things might not always go smoothly and our photographer will be there to guide your family through different permutations.

You can check out our experience guide on some poses we typically do during a session!

Consider booking/upgrading to a higher tier package. If you have a big family with many young children or have more than 3 household groups, you can consider extending the shoot by 30mins for an additional $350. Extension of shoot can be done on the day itself, however not guaranteed if we have other sessions after yours.

We recommend you to avoid booking a time slot that coincides with their usual nap time. Do try to book a timing where they are usually the most awake. If you are managing a multi-generation family shoot, we recommend your family with baby to come first and ask the rest of the family members to reach at a slightly later timing so that we can have a more relax and non-distracting environment to photograph.

We have toys, squeakers, bubble gun, iPad (for playing music) to help warm-up, and catch the attention of babies and children of different age.

Yes, babies, toddlers and children are considered a pax!

Generally speaking, neutral, earth tone colour palette clothings would go well with our set. It would be best to stick to 1 coordinated colour to maintain consistency, + white/off-whites/beige clothings.

Avoid clothings with large prints.

Shoes are allowed in the set so do make sure to dress up your feet as well!

Please arrive only 5-15 mins earlier before your shoot to avoid having to wait in a non-air conditioned environment. For families with big groups, kindly avoid coming too early (e.g. 30 mins early) as we will wish for a pleasant environment for any on-going family shoots before your session.

There is a good chance that we have back to back sessions so please stick to your time slot and only arrive 5-15mins earlier to avoid clashing with the previous family. If your child tends to need time to warm up, do book a longer session.

It can be really hard to predict the temper of babies/toddlers. We will try our best to cheer on your child but nobody knows them best than you. We recommend parents to embrace it if your child is having a hard time on that day and make the best out of the shoot! Years later, crying photos are the best ones to laugh at!

If we have an appointment right after yours, we will have to cut short your session and end on time as per the appointment slot you booked. If we do not have an appointment right after yours, a late fee of $30 per 15 minutes will be imposed if you wish to have the same amount of time.

Deposit will be required upon booking to confirm your slot. The remaining balance will be collected on the photoshoot day via Paynow.

We will filter out photos that are our test shots, blurred ones, and repeated photos. We return all photos that we deem good. Occasionally, you might spot a few unglamorous photos but if we think that you and your family might get a good laugh out of it, we will return it anyways!
