Nursery & Preschool Photography
Professional, organised portrait days designed to run smoothly — for staff, children and parents alike.
Experienced. Reliable. Easy to Work With.
With over 24 years as a professional photographer and partnerships with around 80 nurseries each year across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, I understand exactly how to deliver a calm, efficient and enjoyable photography day.
Working with young children is second nature to me. I know how to gently engage even the most reluctant little ones, while keeping sessions quick and disruption to a minimum.
Flexible Options to Suit Your Setting
I offer weekday portrait days during term time, as well as optional Saturday Portrait Sessions for nurseries who prefer to avoid weekday disruption altogether.
Saturday sessions allow families to attend at pre-booked time slots, with all bookings, communication and organisation handled directly by me — keeping your team free to focus on running the setting as usual.
Seasonal sessions, including Christmas portraits, are also available. Full details of all options are included in my brochure.
A Seamless Photography Day
From clear communication beforehand to an organised schedule on the day, everything is structured to ensure:
• Minimal interruption to your daily routine
• Happy, relaxed children
• Professional, high-quality portraits for parents
• Simple ordering and delivery processes
I work confidently with children of all personalities and abilities, always maintaining a friendly, patient and professional approach. I regularly photograph children who may need a little more time, reassurance or flexibility, and sessions are adapted sensitively to ensure every child feels comfortable, respected and included.
Trusted by Nurseries Across the North West
Most of my nursery partnerships are long-term, returning year after year. I value building strong relationships with managers and staff, ensuring each photography day feels stress-free and well-managed.
If you're looking for a reliable, experienced photographer who understands nursery environments inside out, I’d love to send you my brochure with full details.
