Runs on emotional blackmail
The business model for this company runs on emotional blackmail. They suck you in with a 'free photoshoot', take wonderful pictures and then charge an absolute fortune. The cheapest picture was £195 for a 10" picture, one picture, and you don't even get the digital copy so if you damage the one copy you have then that's the end of that. This company should be ashamed of the way they operate, it's truly disgusting.

Essentially a scam
Essentially a scam. Give “free” photography sessions as prizes and then charge 5x the real cost of the photography afterwards. Beware.
The reason I call it a scam is because they hold a Facebook competition but rather than there being 1 "winner", everybody in fact "wins" the chance to be emotionally blackmailed into being ripped off.
So they give 1 hour of photography, but you actually get nothing for this except your time wasted and some emotional blackmail, or the chance to be thoroughly taken advantage of.
After the hour, you're told you can pay £500 for this 1 hour immediately, or pay £900-£1,000 if you leave the premises. You are paying £1,000 for 1 hour of photography.
The idea is, you see your child laughing and smiling, so you accept being ripped off and give them the £1,000. Credit to them, it's a very clever and well rehearsed scam.
But 1 hour of basic photography should be about £250 for a copy of those photos.
