You can call our head office on 01252 728457, email us at enquiries@imagojuniors.com or fill in the online contact form.

How can I work for Imago Studios?

We are always looking for new photographers with our expanding business. Please send your CV to enquiries@imagojuniors.com along with a covering letter.

Shoot types

Do you come to our home?

Yes, we love to work at your home where your children are relaxed. This enables us to take natural light images (whether outside or inside), as well as studio shots. It also means favourite toys and animals can join in and changes of clothing are easily accommodated.

Can we have the shoot at another location?

Yes, at a location of your choice.

What to wear

What clothes would work best for the shoot?

For studio shoots we work with a white studio backdrop, where bright/bold colours work best. We do NOT recommend white clothes or anything patterned as this tends to detract from the picture. Choose comfortable clothing, especially for the kids who generally feel more relaxed in old favourites rather than a special outfit.

Viewing and images

How do I view my images?

We advise you to have a home viewing so you can see our finishes in situ and discuss any changes /combinations you want. Please note you do not have to purchase at this time, or at any time if you do not wish to. Your home viewing is definitely not a sales pitch!!!

Alternatively we upload your images to our passworded secure website. We will send you a secure login and password for you to login and view/purchase your images.

When will my images be ready to view?

Approximately 7 to 10 days after your session.

I’ve lost my password and cannot access my images online

If you have given us your email address your password can be emailed to you, just navigate to the login page and select the forgotten password option.

I would like my child’s images removed from your website

We realise that your privacy is of the utmost importance. Our website is a secure password-protected site, and we will not share your child’s images with any third parties. If you still wish us to remove your child’s images from the site, please email us or contact our head office by phone on 01252 728457.

Ordering

How can I place an order?

You can place an order online, at your viewing, or call us on 01252 728457 and we can take the order & payment over the phone.

When do I need to place my order by?

We keep your images for 3 months before archiving them. Although you can place an order after they have been archived, a retrieval fee will be applicable.

Is it safe to give my credit cards details over the Internet?

Payments made on the website are secure. We use one of the largest on-line payment companies - World Pay. We accept most credit and debit cards and WorldPay will send you a receipt of the transaction by email.

Image changes & retouching

ALL IMAGES ARE PRINTED AS SHOWN IN YOUR GALLERY UNLESS CHANGES ARE REQUESTED. If you require any changes to your images our standard fee is £2.50. If however, you require more complex work we reserve the right to charge a further fee at £40 per hour. If you require further work, we will contact you with an estimate before proceeding.
