Lighting and Composition: Controlling the light is crucial, so we take several test shots before organising individual classes.
Creative: We love breaking the ordinary! While we’ll deliver great class photos, you can expect us to bring fresh ideas to the shoot. We encourage support from the school community to help foster a fun, dynamic atmosphere during the shoots. Silliness is encouraged.

Individual Portraits
Available to children from nursery, reception, and school years 1-6
At The Portrait Co., we specialise in creating unique and captivating school portraits that reflect each child's personality. Our approach sets us apart, as we believe in moments that go beyond the conventional smile and pose. We believe that the best portraits often happen when children are simply being themselves. Our photographers focus on creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere, helping children laugh and interact naturally, which often leads to the best shots.
We encourage individuality in every photo session. Children are also able to bring in their favorite objects and even share a portrait with a sibling. We like to work flexibly when it comes to locations within the site to ensure our photos are unique.
Our Approach
Encouraging Natural Expressions: Our goal is to make the children feel comfortable and allow them to be their true selves. We enjoy capturing those silly moments, candid facial expressions, and unique looks that make each portrait special.
Boring Option Available: For those who prefer the classic look, we can provide the traditional straight-back smile and pose so that no one feels left out, although we will do our best to inject some personality.
