Terms & Conditions

“,or HAPPY PARENT GUARANTEE
Our aim is to take beautiful portraits of every single child we meet. Our systems, experience and creativity provide us with the tools we need to ensure that everyone is given the time and understanding they need to shine in a photo. In an ideal world we would just keep working and working until we had perfection. But working with young children, in a childcare environment, is anything but predictable. Exclusive to HappyPics is our 100% Happy Parent Guarantee. This guarantee is offered to families who prepays for their Photo Day Pack only. While we try our absolute best every time we photograph there are some situations that hinder us taking perfect photos. These issues are usually out of our control and therefore cannot be avoided.

What’s covered in the guarantee:
Not receiving four images of your child(ren)
Receiving photographic print quality that you believe is below professional standard eg. too dark, too light etc.
If your child is sick or absent on Photo Day. This does not include away on holiday.
Portraits that are proven to be below professional standard in terms of sharpness, exposure and resolution.
Visibly crying and upset children.

What isn’t included in the guarantee;

If your child is upset on the day, while we will give them every opportunity to enjoy Photo Day sometimes it’s just simply not worth the stress on them to perform. (*conditions)
If your child does not participate in the class or group photo
If your child is in anyway not looking at the camera in a class photo
Images of similar appearance including, cropping, pose, expression.
More variety of poses
Similar posing for sibling packs

If you have prepaid for a Photo Day package knowing you will be on holiday.
