Before you book

Questions families ask

When do we get the images?

Within five days of your session you’ll receive a preview gallery. You make your selection, and five days later your Christmas images arrive, fully edited: 10 days in all. Need them sooner? Add express delivery at checkout and your final images reach you within 48 hours, for AED 100. Would you like them by early December? A November slot is best.

Can I move or cancel?

Sessions are paid in full at booking and are non-refundable. If your plans change, you’re welcome to pass your session on to another family once. Just let us know.

Where is it?

Dubai, in JLT. The exact location and everything you need for the day are shared when you book.

What should we wear?

One outfit each for The Christmas Edit and Christmas Mini, and up to two on The Full Story, though we recommend one. We’ll send you an outfit guideline after booking.

How many people can come?

The Christmas Edit covers up to four, The Full Story up to eight. Those are ceilings, not brackets, so four of you can take The Full Story if what you want is the longer session and all three sets. People means everyone being photographed, adults included. Christmas Mini is for children only, up to three from the same household.

What happens if my child will not cooperate?

Nothing that hasn’t happened before. Small children have their own plans and we shoot around them rather than fighting it. Some of the best frames come out of the moment somebody refuses to sit still.

What if we’re running late?

Tell us as early as you can on WhatsApp. Sessions run back to back, so we can’t hold the set past your slot without taking the time out of the family after you. Arriving ten minutes early is the fix.

Can we bring a pet?

Of course. Your first pet comes free, and an extra pet is AED 150, up to two in total.

Will our photos be used on your Instagram?

Only if you tick the box. It’s optional, it changes nothing about your session, and we never use anything before asking.
