Nursery School Photography

Welcome to the Heston Photo Nursery School Photography Service. We provide a top quality photographic service to nursery schools, preschools and playgroups throughout London and Greater London including Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and the South East. We are a family business and we do not subcontract our work out to other photographers. This ensures that we deliver a personalised service to every nursery school that we photograph.

Our style can be suited to your requirements. We encourage the children to play, have fun and be  relaxed, so they can be themselves allowing us to get the best natural smiles out of them. We also encourage staff and parents to assist us if they feel it will help get the best out of an individual child. We do not force the children into poses or have a set ‘routine’ of photos as we believe that every child is different and should be allowed to express themselves accordingly.

We aim to be affordable for all parents and do not restrict them to buying set packages. Photos are sold via our online gallery, as well as other products such as canvases. All galleries are securely password protected. Parents can buy safe in the knowledge that we offer a generous commission to the nursery or preschool. Contact Us today to get the ball rolling, and hopefully we could be photographing at your nursery or preschool soon.

Our Aim

Our aim is to capture natural, happy photographs, which are affordable to the parents, whilst reducing the workload of the nursery staff. We also provide a more environmentally friendly service by not printing a large number of unwanted images.

9. We offer a friendly and flexible approach

How We Work

Before the day:

A team member from Heston Photo will make contact with the nursery, or the nursery will contact us. We will then provisionally agree a date for the photography. We may offer to come in and look around the nursery to find a suitable location, and talk in person with the staff. We will write up a contract and get an agreement in place. Once this is done, we will confirm a final date or dates to come in and photograph the children.

On the day:

We will either send one or two photographers depending on the size of the nursery / preschool and the number of children. the very best personalised service and product. We will arrive early on the day and set up our kit. We use a white plastic vinyl backdrop, which wipes clean but we do ask that the children remove their shoes before going on the backdrop.  We use studio lights to professionally light the area; these may need to be plugged into the mains. It usually takes a short time to set up and we would require a space of around 3m x 3m approx.

We can sometimes fit into smaller spaces if necessary. When we are all set up and ready to shoot, we will ask the staff to start bringing us the children in small groups of 3 or 4 at a time. We usually gather a selection of toys from the nursery beforehand, these are toys that the children are familiar with and if necessary, we will encourage them to play with the toys to help them relax. During this time we aim to provide between 5 and 10 great photos of each child. The cycle will continue until all the children are photographed. If requested we will also capture a variety of group and class photographs. We also allow the nursery to book up afternoon sessions, lasting around 10 minutes each, for parents to bring in siblings and children that may not be in on that day. At the end of the day we will pack up and be on our way.

Later that evening we will upload all of the photographs to the online gallery and have a password in place. At this stage we will email the nursery or preschool to say that the gallery is live and they can inform the parents that the images are ready to be purchased online, using the password provided.

Afterwards:

We will leave the password-protected gallery online for an agreed amount of time, or optionally we can leave permanently thus allowing parents to order in the future. The orders will be produced and mailed to the parent’s doorsteps direct from the online store. We would then finalise the accounts and inform the nursery of how much commission they are due to receive. This commission is then paid within 30 days. Exact timing will be finalised with the nursery in advance to avoid confusion.
