Creating visual stories of you children playing at pre-school
Pre-School & Nursery Portrait Photography
Our pre-school and nursery photography focuses on capturing natural portraits of little ones in a calm environment. We believe the best photographs are created when children feel safe, relaxed, and free to be themselves with natural smiles.
We photograph children in settings where they feel most comfortable, whether that’s their familiar nursery environment, outdoors in natural light, or in a studio-style setup with props and toys.
How To Book
When you book us for pre-school photography, we’ll guide you through the entire process — from your first enquiry to final image delivery.
We create a relaxed, well-organised experience that puts children at ease and keeps the day running smoothly for staff. Our approach is friendly, efficient, and focused on capturing natural expressions and genuine moments.
We love what we do, and it shows in the images we create. Beautiful nursery photography should feel easy — and enjoyable — for everyone involved.
A simple, stress-free ordering process
Once photography day is complete, parents receive secure access to a private online gallery powered by GotPhoto.
This easy-to-use system allows parents to view their child’s images from home, at a time that suits them.
The online gallery makes the entire process simple:
- Secure, password-protected access for each child
- View and select favourite images online
- Order digital downloads and professional prints directly
- Choose from a range of high-quality print products
There’s no paperwork, no cash handling, and no pressure. Parents can take their time choosing the images they love, orders can be delivered in batches to the school or if you'd prefer they can be delivered directly to parents homes.

FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
This depends on how much time we have on the day, but we aim to give a variety of images to choose from in a few locations. We tend to end up with between 10 - 30 images per child.
What style of nursery photography do you offer?
Our nursery photography is natural, relaxed and child-led. We focus on capturing genuine expressions and happy moments, avoiding stiff poses or forced smiles. The aim is to create beautiful, timeless images that parents will love.
How do photo days work in a nursery setting?
Photo days are carefully planned to fit around your nursery routine. We set up a simple, calm studio space using clean, neutral backdrops or use outdoor settings in the summer and photograph children one at a time, keeping sessions short and relaxed.
Will photography disrupt the nursery day?
Not at all. Our process is designed to be smooth and efficient, with minimal disruption. We work closely with staff to ensure children feel comfortable and the day runs seamlessly alongside normal nursery activities.
What if a child is shy or unsettled?
This is completely normal. We always work at the child’s pace, never rushing or forcing them. If a child needs extra time, a cuddle, or a break, we adapt accordingly to ensure a positive experience. If they really don't want to have their photo taken we will never force them and will just try again another year.
How is child safety and privacy handled?
We use a secure barcode system so only parents can view and order their child’s photos. All photographers are fully insured, DBS checked, and experienced in working within nursery environments.
How do parents view and order the photos?
Parents receive a unique barcode allowing them to access a private online gallery at home. Ordering is simple and secure, with a range of print and digital options available.
Is there any administration required from the nursery?
Very little. Our online system handles proofs, ordering and payments. We only ask that the nursery send out an email to parents to let them know when the shoot day will be, and then afterwards to hand out the individual barcodes to parents.
Can siblings be photographed together?
Yes, siblings who attend the same nursery can be photographed together.
How long does it take to receive photos?
We aim to get all photos online a day or so after the shoot day. Once ordered, finished products are professionally printed and delivered either to the nursery or directly to families. There is normally a 2-3 week wait after the shoot day for print orders as we wait for everyone to put their orders in before the deadline. This enables all parents to receive a 10% discount and no postage costs.
