School photos
with some warmth in them.
Twenty-three Illawarra and South Coast primary schools, some of them with us for more than twenty years.
The same programme, done warmly
We do the full traditional school programme — individual portraits, class groups, siblings, staff, teams and Year 6 — we just don't do it under a hard flash against a grey sheet.
Portraits are shot in soft light, usually near the hall windows or outside if the weather's kind. Class photos are traditional and properly composed, because that's what schools actually want on the wall.
Timing
We bring enough photographers that no class waits more than about ten minutes. A three-hundred-student school is one day. Six hundred is two. We'd rather add a day than rush a morning.
The school programme
Individual portraits
Several frames per student in warm light, with both a formal and a relaxed version included.
Class groups
Traditional composition with a named composite supplied to the school for every class, printed and mounted.
Siblings
Brothers and sisters photographed together, free, and delivered into both galleries.
Staff and leadership
Whole-staff photo, individual staff portraits and the leadership group. No charge to the school.
Teams and groups
Sport, choir, band, houses, SRC — as many as the day allows, at no extra cost.
Year 6 send-off
A separate graduation sitting plus a framed cohort composite for the hall, free for the school.
“We've used them since 2004. The year we trialled someone cheaper, the complaints from parents started within a week and we switched straight back.”
— Principal, primary school, ShellharbourThinking of changing photographers?
It's a decision most schools make once a decade, so it's worth a proper conversation. We'll come out and have one with no obligation at all.
