Reviewing Lid Studios (Part One)
Hello guys and welcome to a new series on my blog where I’ll be sharing my experiences with photo shoot studios I’ve worked with before, and, allowing you, my readers to rate them!
So without further ado, let’s get right into it! Last month I reviewed Moderne Studio, so today I’m moving on to another studio – Lid Studios!
LID STUDIOS
Name of Studio: Lid Studios
Location: Contrust House, 3rd Floor, Moi Avenue (Next to Nairobi Sports House), Nairobi, Kenya.
THE EXPERIENCE…
This was honestly one of the best shoots of my life, aaaah! Here’s what happened…
I booked in for the shoot at 10am. I got there at 9am, and was received by a most friendly team. Nyambura, my makeup artist, got there at around 9.10a.m. As usual, I don’t do makeup prior to arriving at the shoot venue, so we requested for a place we could do makeup before the photoshoot session began. (Makeup takes around 1hour, hence, the need for me to get to the venue 1hour earlier)
I’m usually very shy especially if it’s my first time working with new people. What I really love about Lid, is that my photographer for the day, Palmer, was really frendly. He took time to know Nyambura my makeup artist and I, and that eased the tension. Palmer is very patient, which is something else I loved about him. He’d take his time, suggest on how to pose, and whenever I asked for extra props to support my poses, he’d willingly set them up. I absolutely love how professional Palmer is, and of course to the client, that sets a good image for the studio.
After the shoot was complete, I was given a tablet from which to choose my best photos. No one rushed me, I think I must have taken an hour to choose my best because the photos were all so fire! I’d honestly give them an 11/10 because everything about Lid is on point! From customer care, to quality of photos, Lid is perfect!
PRICING…
So, with photoshoots, most photoshoot studios have a fixed package of a minimum number of photos that you can get at a fixed price. Any extras that the client may want, are given to them in raw/unedited form. The package I went for was at 350bob per pic, minimum 10 pictures. Any extras are charged at 200 bob each. I took 3 extras that I really liked, so that was an extra 600bob above the 3500bob fixed price.
WAIT TIME…
Photos are ready in 3 working days. This shoot was on a Saturday morning, by Tuesday Evening I had my photos.
PHOTOS DELIVERED…
My goodness, the photos delivered were so beautiful! Find below some of the photos they delivered.
REASONS I’D RECOMMEND LID STUDIOS:
✔ Professionalism Rating: 11/10
✔The customer care, warmness and friendliness to their clients is honest, genuine and amazing. You can honestly tell that beyond being there to make money, they actually care for their clients.
✔They deliver photos within 3 working days, which is very convenient for impatient people like me. (I know of studios which even go upto 5 working days before delivering)
✔Their rates are very fair and friendly.
✔ The quality of their pictures, whether edited or unedited, is on point!
REASONS I’D ABSOLUTELY NOT REDCOMMEND MODERNE STUDIOS:
✖Honestly, I have no reason. These guys are amazing!

NOTE:
This was an experience I had exactly ten months from the time I wrote this post.
Whether the studio has changed in some way affecting their services, I may not be aware.
I am, thus, not accountable for any feelings contrary to what I’ve written. I’m writing on my own personal experience, so to each, their own.
Please let me know in the comments section, would you visit Lid Studios for your photoshoot?
