Authentic School Photography:
Capturing the Moment
Beyond the Frame
Specializing in modern school photography that fosters connection and empowers students through photography, revealing the true essence of each child.
Promoting Positive Body Image
My sessions are designed to celebrate each child’s individuality, helping them feel proud of how they see themselves. By letting them view and choose their photos, they gain a sense of ownership and pride that builds lasting confidence.
Authentic and Modern Portraits
Why it matters
Promoting Positive Body Image
Creating Authentic moments matters as our body image issues often take root early in life, as children internalise how they are seen and valued by others. An image that truly reflects a child as they see themselves can have a powerful impact, rather than an awkward, uncomfortable memory. By capturing their authentic self, with warmth and care, photography can promote a child’s self-confidence and help cultivate a positive body image.
Why me?
A Bespoke Photo Shoot
I plan the photo sessions in a way that suits your needs.
Personal Approach
I provide a professional and personalised service, fostering strong relationships.
Child Focused Photography
With a gentle, patient approach, I create a comfortable safe space where children feel relaxed and at ease. I understand how intimidating it can be for a child to sit before a stranger’s camera. With years of experience working with children, I help create a comfortable space that allows them to feel at ease, letting their true selves emerge naturally.
Student ID Cards
In addition to portraits, I produce professionally designed and student ID cards (Schülerausweise) tailored to your school’s branding and needs.
Alternatively I can provide the portrait photography for student IDs when the schools produce them independently.
Quality
I offer premium prints, digital images and student ID cards (Schülerausweise).
Minimal input your side
Making things easy.
Data protection
I prioritise information security by using encrypted online photo storage and password-protected galleries to protect children’s data. I fully comply with GDPR to ensure secure handling of personal information.
Convenient online ordering system
Our online ordering system is simple and convenient.
The art of connection
A New Approach
Capturing each individual child, my approach places each child at the heart of the moment, nurturing their confidence and allowing their authentic selves to shine.
During the shoot, the children can view themselves on a large monitor, instantly becoming part of the shoot process itself. This helps them feel more confident, allowing their natural glow and true personality to shine through.

Before
Our journey begins with a personalised consultation to understand your school’s unique values, schedule, and daily routines. I will also tour the campus to identify the best location for the photographs. Together, we’ll plan the photo shoot in a way that seamlessly fits into your school’s environment and routine, ensuring minimal disruption for staff and students to guarantee a smooth and efficient photo day.
Photo Day
Depending on your school’s size, the photo shoot may be scheduled over one or two days.
The type of photographs taken will be tailored to meet your school’s specific needs and the time available.
At the end of the photo day, each student will receive a slip with a unique access code and a link to my ordering system.
After
I select and edit the photography choosen by the child and upload them to a private online gallery. Each parent can then access the images of their children, and choose the images and products they would like to purchase.
Parents can conveniently place their orders online and direct any questions to me, relieving school administrators of this responsibility. Digital images are available for immediate download upon payment, and print orders will be delivered in bulk to the school for distribution or via post.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much time to you require?
The duration of the photo shoot varies based on the school’s size, taking either one or two days. I work closely with the school beforehand to plan the logistics and schedule, ensuring minimal disruption while meeting all the school’s requirements.
Does the school pay anything?
There is no cost involved for the school. Parents are given the chance to purchase the photographs directly with me.
What about data protection?
I handle all acquired data with the utmost care, utilising GDPR-compliant software tailored for school and nursery photography.
Each child’s photographs will be securely uploaded to a private online gallery, which can only be accessed using a unique password.
About me
I am a mother of two with over 20 years of experience in photography, beginning my career working for leading women’s fashion magazines. Over time, my focus shifted toward creating intimate, personal portraits that celebrate individuality and authentic connection.
I am currently studying to become an art therapist, a journey that has deepened my understanding of children’s unique needs and inspired me to reimagine how student portrait photography is approached.
My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where each child feels truly seen, valued, and celebrated. Along the way, I’ve come to appreciate the profound power of portraiture, not just to capture a moment for parents and children, but to illuminate who they truly are and inspire confidence and pride in their beautifully unique selves.
