Nursery and Pre-school photography with professional portraits

Vibrant portraits, full of personality

What do you want to provide when you think of your children's school photographs. The same old fashioned blue background, with an unhappy, frowning child trying to fake a smile? Or do you want to provide the families of your children with photography of their child looking happy, bubbly, natural and relaxed.  

Nursery School Photography, our way

We are portrait photographers, our aim is to capture the true spirit and personality of the children we photograph. There will be no forced and cheesy smiles or any silly poses. There is no rush or hurry, we allow ourselves the time to very quickly build the rapport and trust with each and every child, the rest then comes naturally. This always yields a good selection of images from each child so we can present each parent with a lovely selection of images of their child (not just one picture and that's it). Our vibrant, animated and fun approach to the photography we provide in schools is exactly the same as we use in our professional studio.

Our Photographers 

This is a key area that separates us from others. All of our photographers are all professional portrait photographers, but more than this they are also family people and parents themselves.

This is very important to us as it ensures our staff are comfortable with children, enjoy being around children and importantly know how to communicate effectively with children. All of this helps us bring the best from each child, it enables us to help each child relax and feel comfortable and therefore we get to capture their real personalities - this is how we deliver such stunning studio quality portraits of the children at the schools we photograph.

Everyone in our business, both the photographers and all supporting staff are fully CRB checked and hold all of the necessary insurances.

Easy for the school

Gone are the old pains of school photography. The old way of school photography was a nightmare for the school, trying to collect the "packs" back in from every parent, collecting all of the payments and money, answering parents questions about the photographs, and then distributing the final images when they were ready back to the right parents and families.

This is always a lot of hard work and a drain on every school.

We are different. Our modern, fresh and relaxed approach to the photography is supported by a very slick process afterwards. This process removes all of the work from the school.

When the images are ready, each child's images are put safely and securely online - each with their own unique private password. We deal directly with the parents the whole time, informing them of the password etc and the whole process from then on. There will be a choice of images for each child and a wide range of options from which the parents can order - paying either online or directly by cash/cheque. Once paid for, we process the order and have the items ordered posted direct to the parent. There is no longer any need for laborious involvement by the school. We easily and simply look after the whole process, dealing with each and every parent personally and direct.

You raise more money

As well as having a simple process, we believe that the normal 10% commission that is paid by the majority of the school photographic "companies" is not enough.

Our aim is to deliver much more vibrant portraits of the children, a seamless and simple process that makes life easier for the school, but also to help the school raise a lot more money. So we offer a much more generous 20% of the profit generated from the photography, this is paid back to the school once all of the orders are processed.

Great For the parents

We believe, in all aspects of our business, that it is important to make photography affordable to all. We ensure that the photography is of the highest standards and that we really capture the essence of each child we photograph. There has been a lot of work put in so that the process of proofing and ordering is easy and fast for the parents, but most importantly we make sure that our portraits are affordable and that there are options for everybody. By working this way, we can present more images for the parents to choose from, so gone are the days of the one portrait which may be good (or not)!
