Nursery & School Photography

Natural • Calm • Professional

Capturing genuine expressions and confident smiles in a relaxed, child-centred environment.

A Different Approach to School Photography

I offer professional nursery and school photography with a calm, inclusive approach. As a qualified teaching assistant with experience supporting children with additional needs, including autism, and with working knowledge of British Sign Language, I understand how to create an environment where every child feels comfortable.

Sessions are efficient, well-organised and enjoyable — while always maintaining high professional standards.

Unlike large national companies, I personally photograph and edit every image. This ensures natural tones, authentic expressions and beautiful results that families truly treasure.

How it works?

1. Book your School
Photography Day

To arrange a school photography day, please complete the enquiry form below. I will confirm availability, discuss your requirements, and provide full details to ensure a smooth and well-organised experience.

2. Photography Day at your School

I attend your school on the agreed date with all necessary equipment. I work efficiently within your timetable to photograph individual pupils, siblings, and class groups, creating a calm and organised environment throughout the day.

Following the session, I manage all image processing, secure online galleries, and parent communications directly. Orders are handled by me, reducing administration for the school, and commission arrangements are managed as agreed.

Nursery & School Photos

If your nursery or primary school in Nottinghamshire is reviewing its photography provider, I would be delighted to discuss how I can help. I cover Keyworth (NG12), West Bridgford, Ruddington, Cotgrave, Bingham and South Nottingham.

The length of the session depends on the size of your school and the types of images required (individual, siblings, class groups, staff). I will provide a clear schedule in advance and work efficiently to minimise disruption to lessons.

I typically require a suitable indoor space such as a hall or large classroom with access to power. I bring all professional lighting and backdrop equipment and handle full setup and pack down.

I provide the school with digital materials to share with parents in advance. After photography day, parents receive secure online access to view and order directly, reducing administration for the school.

I follow your school’s safeguarding policies at all times and ensure photography is conducted in an open, supervised environment. I am fully insured and DBS checked.

Yes, commission arrangements are agreed in advance. Payments are made directly to the school following the completion of the ordering period.
