“The biggest con going ! Apparently well known for it too so wish we done our research before wasting our time!
I have emailed at least 3/4 times querying what we were promised and have been totally ignored each time. I have no other choice but to share so someone else don’t get conned. I would totally avoid using this company! Especially if you’ve won this as a competition or you see them advertise a deal. We won this competition at the baby show in Olympia, we were told that we got the maternity, newborn and 6 month package. We were told to put down a deposit to hold our space which was refundable once we attended and that on the day we would get a complimentary photo of our choice on a 7 day turn around sent to us. We went to this shoot on Wednesday in the Ipswich centre and was told there that we won’t get your maternity pictures until the newborn shoot. Firstly, why the hell does anyone want to wait that long for the maternity pictures and who would even be interested in the maternity pictures when they have a bundle of pictures of their newborn?! Already that has put a dampner on our experience. Once the session was over we sat in reception expecting to see the pictures. We were given a brochure of all of the extortionate packages we could choose from, both my partner and I was taken back since we were told there would an exclusive on the day offer of £99 for 10 of our pictures plus the complimentary picture on a 7 day turn around! We’re now seeing a brochure with the most extortionate prices we’ve seen for a baby shoot. We come home a little deflated, upset and very confused with what it is we’ve actually won here. Since we were also told to email the studio if we had any queries. I emailed 3 times in the end and had no response. I would totally avoid this studio! Policy of having to wait for both sessions to take place should put you off in itself let alone the brochure or prices they offer. I mean for digital files only it’s disgusting, let alone when you’re told you’ve won this as a price and there is no prize other than a complimentary picture of each session. Really?!. They offer “competitions” to reel you in and then shove a load of unrealistic prices in your face. To put things in to perspective. I have since been in touch with another studio who responded immediately. Helpful and full of information so I know where I stand before I booked them. She’s also much cheaper and you’re able to get your maternity pictures in the normal standard time frame! Please do your research.”
“Amazing! Loved our photoshoot for our kids, they make you feel so welcome and have so much patience with the children which made everything so much more comfortable! We will not be using any other photography studios in the future”
“The communication from day 1 was excellent. Both Nika and Abby kept us informed of what happens at each stage of the shoot. We were all made to feel comfortable during the shoots and nothing was off limit. Everyone was incredibly patient with our 2 year old too. We’ve just viewed our maternity and newborn photos and they are all amazing I found it hard to choose.”
“The photography sessions are amazing, we felt really at home and involved at every stage. The staff are really friendly and amazing at what they do. The viewing sessions are very intimate and specialised and we cannot recommend them enough. The prices are higher than I expected at first, but honestly for the quality you get and the attention to detail at shoots and photo editing its definately worth it.”
“Nika has been amazing to capture our family moments with our baby boy and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is thinking of booking a baby photoshoot! We were made to feel so comfortable and had so much fun.”
“Everyone at BabyArt Manchester has been brilliant through all 3 shoots. Abi was amazing with our little girl through the sitters and cake smash shoots, even when she got upset Abi still managed to get beautiful pictures of her!”
“A fantastic experience at Baby art studio Manchester with Abi taking bump photos and Niko taking newborn pictures. We were made to feel very welcome and accommodated for.”
