Pandemic ruined the original option
1st year shoot not available due to pandemic and baby being 14 months by the time we could use this, changed to family photoshoot. Good shoot, excellent photographer, end results an huge amount more money than I expected.

Ok.. Not what we expected.
The photographers we booked with were ok, photos came out well. Did not like having to pay a £20 deposit for the booking, even though it was refunded after chasing. Paying postage on top to get the photos delivered was a bit much.

So expensive when you get there!
The lady taking the photos was amazing I just can not believe the price of the photos its ridiculous! Plus I'm also extremely annoyed that I can't use my second photoshoot voucher (both I had as a gift for xmas as I was pregnant with my baby) as you can't use more than one in 12months! I think that is ridiculous and it is NOT my fault they were gifts its not the persons fault who got me the voucher as they wasnt to know someone else would do the same!!! I'm extremely disappointed!!

Company very unhelpful and blunt
Although my baby is under the age of 12 months, apparently he is not suitable for the photoshoot. I was forced to change to a family shoot and lost my £50 voucher. Virgin should have made he regulations far more clear if this is how the company is with their excessive rules

Just awful from start to finish
The photographer we were assigned was not great at all. We only did one of the three shoots.
