FUN AND ENJOYABLE

Individual & Sibling Photographs

We aim to create a fun and enjoyable school photography experience. Our photos authentically capture the true character of children without forced smiles. The kind of school photographs that families proudly display on their walls.  With simple, easy positioning and a few tricks up our sleeve, we will capture genuine expressions.

For both individual and sibling photographs, each session usually takes around a minute, however, we are always willing to accommodate any child who may need extra time to settle.

Our professional lighting setup creates a soft and flattering look, while our state-of-the-art cameras ensure beautifully sharp images.

QUALITY PHOTOGRAPHY

We pride ourselves fun and natural photographs.

EXCELLENT VALUE

We offer a wide range of excellent value products including digital downloads, print packs and wall hanging displays.

GENEROUS COMMISSION

We know how important fundraising is and we are always delighted to provide a generous commission.

FLEXIBILTY

Class Groups

Our class group photos offer flexibility, allowing for either an outdoor setting for a traditional group shot or an indoor session in our portable studio. In the latter case, we capture each class group by organising them into smaller clusters of 2, 3 4, or 5 pupils. These smaller groups are then seamlessly combined in post-production to craft a modern and cohesive class group photograph.

ONLINE ORDERING SYSTEM

Easy Ordering

Proof cards are delivered to the school within 2-3 days following the photo shoot. They are organised by class, ensuring convenient distribution.

Our diverse product selection provides parents with plenty choice. They can easily customise their packs and mix images within our multi-image packs and download options.  This offers a cost-effective solution for families with more than one child attending the school.

Parents have 10 days to place orders online for free delivery back to the school. For those looking for a quicker return or who missed the free delivery deadline, home delivery is an option with a small postage fee.  Digital downloads are sent instantly to their preferred email address.

SMOOTH OPERATION

Shoot Day

While we have a preferred schedule for the day, we recognise that plans may not always unfold as intended. We are highly flexible and capable of making adjustments to accommodate any unexpected changes or preferences, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for everyone involved.

Arrival Time

Our photographer will arrive 45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. This allows ample time for setup and addressing any queries the school may have.

Space Requirements

Ideally, we require approximately 5x6m of clear space in your school hall. If your hall dimensions differ, kindly contact us to explore suitable alternatives.

Sibling Photographs

We recommend taking all siblings photographs first.

Individual Photographs

Once all the sibling photographs are taken, every class is taken along for their individual photographs.  Typically, for a class with 30 pupils, we require 30 minutes. Additional time may be necessary for nursery groups.

Class Group Photographs

Traditional class photographs typically take around 20-minutes, with composite group photographs taking roughly 30 minutes.
