Glow Up Kids Reviews 

My daughter had an amazing experience. So professional, patient and talented. They really looked after us at Glow Up Kids!

My children had the best photo shoot! All staff were amazing and so helpful! Photographer was so lovely and gave my children so much confidence. I would 100% recommend glow up kids

Guided my children through different poses and it was a big help as a first timer. They also hype you up and it will boost your confidence.

Glow Up Kids Photography was absolutely amazing! My daughter Grace is quite shy, and they made her feel completely at ease from the moment we arrived. They were so patient and encouraging, and really helped bring her out of her comfort zone. The experience was wonderful, and the photos truly captured her confidence and personality. Highly recommend!

My two kids had their first photo shoot here with Glow up Kids studio in manchester! We had hair and make up done and got straight into it. The team did a fabulous job of making my kids comfortable and got amazing pictures! So happy with the results. Thank you so much!

Absolutely amazing experience at Glow Up Kids Photo Studio! From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel so warm and welcome. The team were incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely lovely, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. Both of my boys absolutely loved it and felt so comfortable throughout the shoot.

The photos were beautiful — they truly captured the boys’ personalities perfectly — and we were over the moon when they won the monthly competition! 🏆✨

A heartfelt thank you to Chantelle, Mandy, Mandy’s daughter, and the photographer for making the experience so special. Everyone played a part in creating such a positive, fun, and memorable day for us. It was also such a pleasure meeting Chantelle — as a fellow Caribbean representative, it’s inspiring to see you doing such beautiful things.

Highly recommend Glow Up Kids Photo Studio to any parent looking for a fun, professional, and memorable experience. 💛📸

My daughter was a runner yo and won her shoot, she had such a fun day and everyone was really lovely with her, although the only thing I can say is a bought the voucher for her pictures which I am still waiting for to be emailed over and I have had no response from them.
After multiple messages and emails ive been ignored which my daughter is now sad about as she was excited to show her dad.

Packages for photos start at 395 upwards and understandably they have to make money it does feel a little pressured to buy them, other than that shebhad a lovely day which was the main thing just sad about not recieveing the pictures.

amazing with kids and is so helpful with showing them how to pose.really supportive and gives an amazing experience.super fun and would do it again !!

Amazing experience for me and my little one would 100% recommend they was so patient with my little one as he has disabilities, they are very professional and let you take as much time as you need thank you again and will definitely be coming back ☺️

What an absolutely magical day we had at Glow Up Photo Studio!

I cannot recommend this experience highly enough for children and teens. From the moment we arrived, the team made my two girls feel so welcomed and special. They started their day with lovely refreshments before heading into their one-to-one makeover with the most fabulous hair and makeup artist. The looks were beautifully tailored to each of them, highlighting their personalities and giving them such a boost. They both left the chair glowing with confidence!

The photoshoot that followed was nothing short of incredible. The girls were guided through a variety of stunning scene set-ups — from a whimsical swing to a festive Christmas backdrop and even a catwalk moment. The photographer was truly exceptional; my girls couldn’t stop talking on the way home about how relaxed and comfortable she made them feel. She brought so much fun and ease to the session, and it really shows in the photos.

Glow Up is an experience I will treasure forever, and one my girls are still buzzing about.

A phenomenal team, a dreamy set-up, and a day full of confidence, creativity, and joy. Highly, highly recommend! 💫📸✨

My daughter had a photoshoot this morning, and the whole team did an amazing job — especially the photographer and makeup artist. She had the best day! Highly recommended.

Very friendly but also professional. My daughter had an amazing experience. Thank you xx

My daughter had a photo shoot today she loved every minute of it all the ladies were lovely with her she loved having her hair and make-up done the photographer made her feel comfortable and at ease and the pictures are stunning

We won a shoot for my daughter via Instagram for a free shoot. Our appointment was booked 1pm, we arrived 20 minutes early and waited for a bit, which we were fine with. About 1.15pm she got her hair and makeup. They were kind enough to curl mine and my mum's hair too so we could have a nice photo with her (this was lovely but notice would've been nice to sort better clothes to wear!). The woman who did the hair and makeup was absolutely lovely, as was the lady who welcomed uas. Once hair and make up were done, we waited about 20 minutes to half an hour to go into the studio. My daughter had a fabulous time in the studio and we got some amazing photos! We were in there about 45 minutes total, we didn't feel rushed at all, and my daughter had the privacy to change etc. it's left her feeling super confident which is lovely!!

Once the shooto was completed we waited over an hour to view the photos which was a tad frustrating and difficult for my daughter. Some people who were there since 1.30pm still had not gone in for photos. Once in the viewing room the photos were lovely. However, some insight to prices prior to going in would have helped, and given chance for discussions etc. Photo packages range from £395 to upwards of £2000. There was flexibility to payment of packages, deposits and monthly payments with no interest etc which is good.

It was a really lovely day and staff were lovely. The only issue was the long wait times. Other than that it was a lovely experience, and my daughter was made to feel like a proper super model!!

Fantastic experience for the model call. So professional and no hard sale...Rebecca loved experiencing the catwalk too

I entered a competition for my daughter to win a makeover and photo shoot. We were told she was a runner up, which meant she could get a free photo and there was the option to put down a small deposit towards a package, with no obligation to buy. I decided to go along as I thought the hair, makeup, and photoshoot experience would be a lovely confidence boost for my daughter before going back to school.

On the day, the staff were genuinely welcoming and professional. They offered us refreshments, made us feel really comfortable, and even suggested some family photos and had me (Mum) in hair and make up too which was lovely. A little heads up about this being an option could have been good as we could have planned out outfits better but luckily we hadnt thrown our slacks on!

My daughter absolutely loved being pampered – she really came out of her shell, had fun in front of the camera, and was thrilled to leave with a little goody bag at the end. It was lovely to see how confident and happy she felt.

Although my original plan was to just take the free photo, the quality of the pictures was excellent and we ended up purchasing a package. The packages are advertised at very high prices, and while they can be reduced, I do think it would be better if the pricing was more transparent. That said, I never felt pressured or pushed into buying, which I really appreciated.

I think if you go in with the mindset that you only want the free photo, that’s absolutely fine and the experience itself is fantastic and the pictures exceeded my expectations. But if, like us, you need updated family pictures for around the house or have another use for the photos, then buying more is a bonus! The team really do provide a worthy service either way.

Overall, the hospitality, the makeover, and the way my daughter was made to feel special all made it a really positive experience. We left with some lovely photos and, more importantly, a big boost in confidence for my daughter.

Thanks to you all!

My daughter Rhea had an amazing time from start to finish. She is a very sassy and confident little lady, but it was her first time doing anything like this. She loved having her makeup done, and staff were all really friendly and encouraging. Rhea especially loved getting to strut her stuff on the runway, and pose in the different studio settings in her new outfits.
It was a pleasure to watch my little girl shine and enjoy the experience. We even got to join in on a couple of the photos with her. We can’t wait to see the finished photos.

We love it thank. You very munch and the staff are very helpful aswell

The Team were absolutely amazing.
Professional but human.
They made the experience worthwhile.
Thank you Glow Up Kids
