Pennywise and Freddy Krueger costume hire and makeup, dorky 80s couples photography

At Little Shop of Horrors, our BFF Character Photography experience is the ultimate day out for two besties who want something unforgettable. This is your chance to become your favourite on screen duo or partners in mischief. You get to spend a whole day together transforming into characters you love and capturing every moment in our studio.

From the moment you arrive, we make it fun, relaxed and completely immersive. Each of you will be styled in one of our incredible screen quality costumes* with character accurate makeup and either professional wig applications or custom hair styling. Whatever your characters need, we create.

We guide you through the whole experience, helping you choose the perfect pairing and bringing your looks to life with detail, colour and personality. You will laugh, hype each other up, and enjoy the excitement of seeing your transformations side by side.

The real magic is watching your characters bounce off each other on set. In the studio, our photographer brings everything together with dramatic lighting and rich colour that captures not just your costumes, but makes every shot feels like a movie poster.

Your shared experience runs for approx 8 hours, including time for styling, makeup, costume fittings and your studio session. You will enjoy refreshments and a selection of tea and coffee throughout the day.

After your session, you will receive a private online proofing gallery so you can choose your favourite moments. High resolution, professionally retouched digital images are available to purchase separately.

Not All Characters Are Created Equal

Understanding Your Makeup Options

From avant-garde beauty, iconic characters or full-blown cinematic creatures, every Movie Makeover is different. Some transformations are achieved with paint and contouring… others call for scars, prosthetics, and serious special effects.

Click on each image below to explore the difference between Character Makeup and the Creature Feature Upgrade - so you’ll know exactly which service your character transformation calls for.

P.S. Extras, like bald caps, horns and fake noses, are available as additional upgrades - just ask!

YOUR DIGITAL IMAGES

GALLERY SELECTION & ORDERING

After your photoshoot, you’ll receive a private online gallery of watermarked proofs to view at your leisure. From there, you can select your favourite images to purchase individually or as part of a curated bundle, choose as few or as many as you love.

Each image you select is meticulously hand-edited by our photographer. We’re not talking filters or presets, this is professional retouching, pixel by pixel. We colour-grade for drama, sculpt with light and shadow, smooth flyaways, enhance details, and polish every portrait to perfection. It’s the kind of work usually reserved for magazine covers, and your photos deserve no less.

We’ve intentionally kept our photoshoot session pricing lower by not including digital images upfront. Why? Because no two clients are the same. Some want just one show-stopping portrait, others want the entire gallery… so we’ve built a flexible system that lets you decide how far you want to go.

High-resolution, professionally edited images are available to purchase separately, starting at $200 for a single image, with packages available for even better value. Because when the images are this good, you’ll want to take more than one home.

Studio sessions are booked and paid in full prior to your appointment. There’s no need to decide on images in advance, once you receive your private gallery of proofs, you’re free to select and purchase as many or as few professionally edited images as you like. T&Cs can be found here.
