Redgum Portraits
Primary schools

School photos that don't feel like school photos

We work with small and medium primary schools across central Victoria — mostly the ones who've decided the grey-backdrop production line isn't for them.

What's different

Individual portraits are taken outside in the school grounds, in whatever light the day gives us. Class photos too, unless you specifically want the traditional tiered indoor version — plenty of schools do, and that's fine.

We're set up for schools up to about four hundred students. Past that we're honestly not the right choice, and we'll tell you so rather than take the booking and rush it.

Timing

A two-hundred-student school is a single day. Four hundred is two. We don't compress a school into fewer days than it needs, because the whole point is that nobody's rushed.

Included for schools

Individuals & class groups

Every student, plus a class photo for each. Outdoors by default, traditional indoor format on request.

Staff and leadership

Whole-staff photo, individual staff portraits, and school captains or leadership groups. No charge.

Sport and specialist groups

Teams, choirs, bands, house groups — whatever you need on the day, at no extra cost, provided we know in advance.

Year 6 graduation set

A separate outdoor portrait sitting for your exiting cohort, plus a composite for the hall wall.

Grounds photography

A library of images of your school looking good, licensed to you permanently for newsletters, website and enrolment packs.

No office workload

Ordering and payment run directly between us and families. Your front office handles no money and no envelopes.

“Our previous photographers did the whole school in four hours. Redgum took two days and the difference is on every single face.”

Thinking about switching?

Most schools change photographers about once a decade, so it's worth a proper conversation. Happy to come out and have one.
