Prices


School photography photoshoots are completely FREE.


A few weeks after the photoshoot has taken place, parents then order prints, digitals or wall art from their online gallery. Our pricelist is simple and aims to keep school portraits accessible to most families.

Your school or PTFA will also receive a share of all profits as a thank you for providing staff or volunteers to assist us on the day of the photoshoot.

Nursery & School Photography FAQs

Do you shoot all year round?

Yes. Photoshoots can be booked for any time of year, but due to the outdoor nature of my photoshoots, spring, early summer and early autumn are my most popular slots.

What happens if it rains?

I pencil in at least one backup day so that we can reschedule if the weather is not on our side. Alternatively, we can look into suitable indoor or covered outdoor areas to use for the photoshoot.

How do parents receive their proofs?

On photo day, each child will be given a unique access card to take home. This contains a code to access their gallery of images. Photos will be ready to view approximately 14 days after the photoshoot. Parents can enter their details to receive a notification when the portraits are ready. They can then view the images and place their order online.

Print orders are sent in a batch for distribution at your nursery or school. Parents also have the option of direct shipping for a small delivery charge. Digital images are available for immediate download.

Which areas do you cover?

I work in nurseries, preschools and primary schools across Bristol, Bath, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire

Are you insured

Yes. I have professional indemnity insurance of £1 million, and public and products liability cover of £5 million???

What is your data protection policy?

I use GDPR-compliant software that is specifically designed for school and nursery photography.

Each child's images will be uploaded to an individual, secure online gallery, accessible only to those with its unique password.

Do you offer commission?

Yes. Nurseries and schools have the option of 10% commission on profits, or the equivalent value of commercial shooting time for your setting.
