CLASS PHOTOGRAPHY
WE START WITH FAMILY & SIBLING PHOTOS
Our Class Photography Service includes arriving early before school starts for the day so that parents and playgroups can join in having family photographs and sibling photographs.
CLASS PHOTOS AND STUDENT PORTRAITS
We then roll into class photography. We take the class (group) photograph first, then each student sits for a series of portraits. If the school can provide a list of each classroom with students named in alphabetical order, that becomes our order for portraits, it also helps us to spell names correctly for the class photo and to identify each person. Then we repeat with the next class until all are photographed.
STAFF & SCHOOL PHOTOS
The Staff Photo is normally taken during morning tea break. It is up to the school as to whether or not students are allowed to purchase the staff photo. We can also take individual staff portraits.
WHOLE SCHOOL PHOTOS & OTHER CLASSES
We most often use a drone to capture whole school photos because having the camera elevated means we can see everyone's face as long as they look toward the drone. We can photograph other group images as required, such as Kapa Haka Group, Sports Teams, School Leavers, etc.
HOW DO PEOPLE PLACE THEIR ORDERS?
We provide you with a Product Price List ahead of the photo shoot which you can share with your school community.
After our photo shoot has finished, we cull and edit the best of all photographs captured on the day. We upload those to a private, password protected online gallery.
The school has the option of nominating whether or not they are happy for a password for the entire school, whereby each student family can login and see all photos of the school, or if they would like each individual family to have their own login and access to their child's photos only. The latter is more labour intensive but we are happy to provide that service. The school will need to provide a CSV file to us with each class listed with the students names, as well as their student numbers.
The school will be provided with a cutoff date for orders to be placed, which must be complied with if the families wish to receive free shipping of their products.
DOES THE SCHOOL RECEIVE FREE PHOTOGRAPHS?
The school will receive an A4 laminated photograph of each class photo for their records. Teachers will also receive an A4 laminated photograph of each class photo that they appear in. All are provided free of charge as a thank you for using our services.
SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO
For the safety and protection of students we are purposely only showing imagery here that was taken specifically for use on school websites, where permission had been sort from parents for those shoots. We do not display school class photos of students nor their individual student portraits.
