Bristol Outdoor Nursery and School Photographer
Natural & Relaxed School Portraits That Parents Love
For nurseries, PRESCHOOLS and schools that embrace the joy of childhood
Little Bodhi Photography is proud to offer a bespoke and modern approach to school photography at no cost to your setting.
KIND WORDS | School Photo Day
“Absolutely gorgeous school photos in beautiful natural surroundings that perfectly capture my children's character. I'll treasure them forever.”
Turn School Photo Day Into A Joyful and Smooth Experience
With over 18 years of experience working in nurseries, preschools, forest schools and primary schools, I know how important it is to provide a school photography service that is simple, friendly and high quality.
I also know kids are FULL of fun and character, so at Little Bodhi Photography, I do things a little differently.
I specialise in bespoke outdoor school photo days that capture real personalities, reflect your school's ethos and make the most of your grounds. Hanging out on the play equipment, relaxing in the school garden or exploring in the forest school area allows children to be themselves and let their wonderful individuality shine through.
It's a calm, easy and enjoyable school photo day for staff and children alike, resulting in joyful, natural photos that parents can't wait to print and share.
KIND WORDS | School Photo Day
“We had a lovely time with Debbie from Little Bodhi Photography. She took the most amazing natural photos. She was very patient and skilled with the children and really captured their individual personalities.”
WHAT MAKES THESE SCHOOL PHOTOS
DAYS DIFFERENT?
Little Bodhi Photography offers calm, natural and child-centred photo days. Rather than stiff studio-style photos, I create relaxed portraits outdoors, allowing children’s personalities to shine while reflecting the unique environment and ethos of your school.

How a School Portraits Photo Day Works
Step 1
BOOK YOUR PHOTO DAY
There is no booking fee or cost to your setting.
I will visit your setting prior to school photo day and take the time to get to know your ethos, timetable and grounds to ensure the day runs smoothly.
Step 2
IT'S PHOTO DAY!
I'll bring everything I need with me and depending on the size of your setting, I may bring an assistant or ask you to provide a member of staff or a volunteer to help with logistics.
Step 3
PROOF CARDS
Each child will take home a proof card. The child's private and secure online gallery can be accessed using the unique code on the proof card.
From here parents can purchase digital downloads, prints and products online.
Step 4
SCHOOL PORTRAIT DELIVERY
All print orders made before the deadline date will be delivered to the school directly ready to be shared with children and their families.
Your school or PTFA will receive their percentage of sales profits.
KIND WORDS | School Photo Day
“In the past I have never bought any of the kids school photos because they don't look like my children. The photos Debbie took show real smiles and I love them!”
Your Bristol School Photographer
I love capturing the joy and personality of childhood. My natural, relaxed and friendly approach allows me to document beautiful and real moments of a child's school years in a playful way that parents LOVE!
For over 18 years I worked in nurseries and schools, and together with my experience as a mum and seasoned family photographer, I have all the tricks up my sleeve to make your school photography experience a stress-free and enjoyable one for everyone.
Natural and Modern Year 6 Portraits
Year 6 is a special milestone, the final chapter of primary school and a moment families will treasure for years to come. These relaxed, natural portraits capture the friendships, personalities and memories of this important year.
Each session is thoughtfully designed for your school and can include:
Whole class leavers’ portraits
Relaxed team photos
Friendship group photographs
Fun individual portraits
KIND WORDS | School Photo Session
““Debbie came to photograph our Year 6 leavers party and it was a great success. We are really pleased with the choice of photos and would recommend Debbie without hesitation.”

Nursery & School Photography FAQs
What is the cost of a school photo day?
There is no cost to your setting.
A nursery, preschool or school photography photoshoot is completely FREE.
In fact, I pay you for inviting me into your setting! A few weeks after the photoshoot has taken place, parents will be able to order prints, digitals or wall art from their online gallery. My pricelist is simple and aims to keep school portraits accessible to as many families as possible.
I know school budgets are constantly being squeezed. That's why your nursery, preschool, school or PTFA will receive a generous share of photo sale profits to boost your budget. It's my way of saying thank you for providing staff or volunteers to assist us on school photos day.
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 2-3 weeks after the photoshoot. They can then view their 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, North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
Are you insured? And are you DBS checked?
Yes and yes. I have professional indemnity insurance and public and product liability cover.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate that is updated each year.
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.
More details can be found in my privacy policy.
Do you offer commission?
Yes. Your nursery or school has the option of 10% commission on profits, or the equivalent value of commercial shooting time for your setting.
