School Photo Shoots in the Studio
School photos are available in the studio – £35 for a session including all the images!
- Did your child miss their slot due to holiday or illness?
- Do you have kids at different schools and want them photographed together?
- Do you not like the photo you got from the school?
School photos are an annual tradition for many families but there are lots of reasons why you might not want to purchase the ones that are taken in your child’s school.
When it comes to photos taken in a school setting, photographers are working with an immense workload and under really tight timelines. They essentially get one click of the camera and then they have to move on to the next child to keep everything on schedule. Meaning no disrespect but in most cases it’s a ‘quantity versus quality’ affair. You might not love or want to purchase a photo were your child isn’t looking their happiest or best and then, in terms of that service, you’ve lost the chance for the year.
Instead of taking what you’re given, you can book into the studio for a School Photo Session. It is a simple mini photo shoot against a plain white background and it’s suitable for up to two children who can be photographed both separately and together. Just bring along your child or children already dressed in their school uniform and looking smart, and I’ll take care of the rest.

I’ll send your finished images digitally, usually within a fortnight. They’ll arrive in your online gallery – ready to print, share, or turn into keepsake. Simple, fast, and stress-free
Yes, absolutely. These sessions are perfect for nursery-age children, home-schooled children, or anyone who may have missed their official school photo day.
They’re a lovely way to capture this stage, whether or not your child is in school yet.
School photo sessions are designed to be just like traditional school portraits – simple, child-focused, and quick. For that reason, parents aren’t included in these sessions.
If you’d like a portrait that includes you and your child together, I’d recommend booking one of my full family sessions instead, where there’s plenty of time to include everyone and create more relaxed, connected images.
School portrait sessions are short and sweet — usually around 10 minutes, perfect for little ones (or impatient older ones!).
No — school portrait sessions are available all year round. If you’ve missed school photo day or would prefer a professional studio portrait instead, you can book at any time.
No – all finished images are included in the £35 school portrait session fee as high-resolution, print-quality digital files. You’re free to print your favourites yourself and share them however you like.
Yes, absolutely. If you’d like a school-style portrait of siblings together, I’m happy to photograph them during the same session. It doesn’t matter whether they attend the same school or different schools — many families book specifically so siblings can be photographed together.
Each child will also be photographed individually, so you’ll receive both sibling portraits and individual school-style images.
Yes. I hold an up-to-date DBS check. This helps ensure parents feel confident and reassured when bringing their children to my studio, whatever type of child photography session they’re booking.
Any digital images that you purchase will be sized at 10×8″ at 300ppi in JPEG format as standard. This is perfect for printing up to this size or slightly larger (you have more flexibility on size when it comes to canvases as they are printed at a lower resolution).
If you know you want to print significantly larger than this, you can upgrade your digital images to be larger file sizes and they will be sent to you on USB drive – just check your gallery pricing for the options here.
One little note though – always back up your USBs – they’re aren’t the most reliable technology for long term storage.
I kindly ask that you don’t take photos or videos during your session. Your booking includes my time, skill and copyright, and recording in the studio can interrupt the flow of your shoot. If anyone is seen filming or photographing, the session will need to be stopped and will end without refund – and that’s not a situation any of us want to be in. Please relax, enjoy the experience, and let me take care of creating the images for you.
