Welcome friends of the Chunky Llama!

Blenheim’s dedicated photography studio.

Grandma wants photos, right? And to be honest, you don’t mind the idea of having some fabulous photos, it just feels like a bit of a chore to organise a photo shoot – UNTIL NOW – bring on Chunky Llama studio sessions! Beautiful images without the fuss.

Easy peasy photo shoots you can pop in to during your lunch break or after school. Just choose a theme and book and pay online.

The studio sessions are FUN and quick and you get to choose your images right away. Library sessions are even quicker, cheaper and the photos are chosen for you!

You can either come for a quick mini session or something a bit longer, more fancy pants and just for you.

Serving up fun, fast and friendly photo sessions for kids, families and pets.

Express Sessions

Express Mini Sessions at Nativity Church Hall.  These cost $25 and come with one digital image chosen for you.  

All about Express sessions:

You’ve told us you want a more cost-effective option for your regular photos, so we’ve created an Express option. I’ll only need you for 2 minutes of photo time, and you can leave the rest to us!

$25 per session for an Express Session

1 extra digital image: $25
3 extra digital images: $50
10-15 extra digital images: $95

Read how Express Sessions work…
  • You will book in on the booking calendar, choosing your time and paying for the session and any additional images you might want.
  • On the Express Mini Day you’ll come to Nativity Church on Alfred St, check in and collect your buzzer, it will alert you when it’s your turn to go into the studio space.
  • Your little one gets their photo taken, it’s lots of fun for a couple of minutes, and then you head home.
  • Within a few days you receive an email with a link to your gallery of images.

Want more images?

You can just get the one image that comes with the booking, or you can order more images.

Full Portrait Sessions

Not everyone can make the Mini Sessions on the scheduled days, and some sessions just don’t lend themselves to a quick and easy turnaround (cake smash, anyone?)  If you find yourself wanting more flexibility, this might be your answer. 

You let us know what theme you’d like and what your availability is, and we can create a studio or location session just for you!
