Little Big Adventures is a local kinder photographer of over 15years in the the early learning field exclusively.
We aim to provide exceptional photos and service at affordable prices.
Our small personalised team ensures our service and resulting images always exceed your expectations.

With over a decade of working with kinders and the local community, we're very confident in our abilities to not only take gorgeous images your families will love, but also work inobtrusively with your staff and programmes.

Using an observatory immersive style, we "follow the child" and engage in natural play and conversation to illicit natural smiles, expressions and make great new friends among the kinder set. Photographing children is our passion.

We cater for those wanting just one or a few affordable, beautiful images of their children through to those wanting a full set of keepsake prints, digital files and other products. Traditional kinder hardcover photo albums are also popular - with your centre logo and the year on the front cover.

Galleries are viewed and ordered online with no extra work or handling of money for educators.

Each child receives a gallery of approximately 20 colour images to choose from, with duplicates also in black & white.
Each gallery varies dependent on child and centre, but you'd expect some lovely portraits, and a variety of passive and active activity shots. Lots of engagement and real smiles.

I am especially proud of our re-booking rate, which we owe to the lovely work we produce consistently, and the easygoing relationships we form on site with staff and children alike. 

BOOKING
- First book in a date with Little Big Adventures.  Depending on the numbers/interest at your service, we might be onsite for 3-5 days but we
  normally block out a week and work out the finer days closer to the date.  On average, a service with 120 families might be 4 days on site.

PARENT REGISTRATION & DAILY ROLLS
- Posters are sent to the service approximately 2-3 weeks prior to arrival. 
  Pop these up in high traffic areas such as the entry to your centre and on room doors.
- At this time we will also ask you to provide for us a list of the children and the days/sessions they attend
- Parents are encouraged to register their interest and any special notes regarding their child/ren or interests etc
- We have a tiered registration process that lets us know each families wants and needs.
- Basic registration is free and there are nominal increments for added upgrades for inclusions such as sibling photos
- Parents that book late or not at all run the risk of no photos at all.

PHOTO DAY(s)
- At childcare, days are booked according to interest/registrations, with bookings closing the Friday prior to Photo Week.
- Parents that book on time are advised in advance what day their child will be photographed.
- At Kindergarten, days are booked according to sessions.
- All our Staff have valid Working With Children Cards and are adept with working with children of all age groups, stages of development
  and children with special needs.

ON SITE
- We work with your routine, normally indoor photos, the the children venture outside after snack or breakfast.
- The majority of our images are normally taken outdoors as we find that's where children are organically happiest and the light is best!

BAD WEATHER
- As the old saying goes, there's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing!
- That said, we have had just a few dangerous conditions over the years ( high winds/ scary storms ) where safety and happiness of children
  and staff come first.  Melbourne normally is quick with her tantrums and comes good after some time to think about her actions,
  so postponements are rare.  We will keep in close contact with your centre if the forecast looks doubtful and work together with you
  to reschedule at the earliest possible date.

INOBTRUSIVE
- We work as allies with your team and understand your routines. 
- Arriving onsite by 9.30am ensures you are fully staffed and the morning rush has abated and children are settled. 
- We tend to be out of your hair by lunch/nap time, so the children are happy, bright and clean in the mornings and ready for messy play
  in the afternoons.

GROUP/CLASS PHOTOS
- At Sessional Kinder every child is included in a Traditional Class Photo with the teacher, unless advised otherwise
- At Childcare, the format of the photo is advised by the service, but is most often a Composite ( headshot ) image to cater for the
  different days children attend, and to ensure minimal disruption on site.  You can view samples of Class Photos here

SIBLINGS
- If two or more siblings attend the service and parents have registered interest, yes, we love and adore sibling photos!
- Due to time constraints we are unable to photograph siblings who do not attend the centre.

GALLERIES
- Parents receive private links to locked galleries to view, admire and choose from
- Galleries can take 3 weeks - there is always a lot of sorting, editing and checks and balances working with a lot of children at larger centres.
- Take a look at some of our gorgeous galleries here ... and what a purchased album selection might look like here..​

ORDERING
- Complete online ordering -no paper/cash or extra work for your service. 
- Parents are not obliged to purchase after viewing their gallery, although this is rare as we have packs and products to suit
  all families and budgets.  You can view pricing here.

COMMUNICATIONS
- We handle all parent communication including reminders, and we also keep you in the loop in regards to cut-offs and delivery etc.

CALD KINDERS
- If your kinder services a cultural and linguistically diverse community (CALD), please let us know as we have options that some kinders
  find more suitable for the majority of their families.

FOR YOU / YOUR STAFF
- Complimentary headshots ( if required, please let us know in advance ) and a complimentary group/class photo for each staff member
  of any class photo they are pictured in.
- For educators with children at the centre, we offer an educator discount on any pack, and where possible, a photo with their child on site.

SAFETY
- All our Staff have valid Working With Children Cards and are adept with working with children of all age groups, stages of development
  and children with special needs.
- Little Big Adventures has Public Liability Insurance

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE
- After Photo Week concludes, it will take approximately 3 weeks before proofs are ready for parents to view.
- Galleries are live for 2 weeks and there are lots of reminders via email and SMS to parents. 
- We use a paid service to ensure no emails are going to junk ( i'm looking at you Hotmail and Outlook accounts! )
  and this solves the issue of someone not seeing their gallery or reminders.
- Once all orders are in, products will be delivered to your centre 2 weeks after that.
