At Little Shop of Horrors, our Character Photography experience is your chance to become your favourite movie icon, villain, or screen hero. This is the ultimate Movie Makeover.

From the moment you arrive, we’re all in. You’ll be styled from head to toe in one of our incredible screen-quality costumes*, with character-accurate makeup and either a professional wig application or custom hair styling. We’ll guide you through the whole experience, from choosing the right look to posing in character, we’re here to make sure you feel confident, have fun, and walk away with photos that feel as epic as your love for the character.

Watching the transformation unfold in front of our eyes is one of the greatest thrills of what we do, and in the studio, our photographer brings it to life using dramatic lighting, bold shadows, and cinematic colour to create a final result that captures you as your favourite character in photos you’ll absolutely love.

Your experience runs for approximately four hours, including time for styling, makeup, costume fitting, and your personalised studio photography session. Along the way, you’ll enjoy refreshments and a selection of tea and coffee.

After your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery of proofs so you can select your favourite moments. High-resolution, professionally edited digital images are not included in the base package price but can be purchased individually or in curated bundles - choose as few or as many as you love.

*This package includes costumes up to our Grand Heritage level with character makeup. If your chosen look involves a more elaborate costume or complex makeup design, just chat with us - we’re happy to provide a custom quote.

And yes, if you fall in love with your look (you will), you’re welcome to hire the entire outfit to wear to your event afterward for an additional cost.

Because when it comes to transformation, we don’t do anything by halves. We do movie magic.

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.
