School photos with bags of personality!

Hi Parents and Carers!

We would love to reach more schools so we can continue to make the school photography
experience fun, relaxed and self-esteem boosting for more children around Scotland (as well as
providing awesome photographs for you of course!).

And we’d really like your help to make this happen!

"Adorable, beautiful and natural school photos that actually look like your child but better – like when they are being unusually angelic, cute and charming"

Introducing us to your school

It’s a big deal for a school to switch photography providers. Photography isn’t the most important thing in the day-to-day running of a school, so even if schools are unhappy with the providers they have, it can a low priority for them to make a move.

In almost all the schools we currently photograph we were introduced via parents and carers…Particularly parent councils or PTAs.

The benefits of working with us

Booking with us helps with your fundraising efforts as we give a percentage of the net profit back to the school.

We spend a bit more time with each child to make sure we get the best images possible. Our aim is to create a positive, fun, self-esteem boosting, body-confident experience that will help children feel confident being in front of the camera – and proud of the images!

Paperless ordering via our easy-to-use online system so there are no more lost forms!

Reduced admin for the school as we handle all enquiries.

Free taster sessions, plus staff headshots and yearly photography time built in for all those great school events

Photos you’ll be proud to hang on your walls with no forced smiles

How to introduce us

The best way to introduce us to have a word with the Head Teacher and/or administrator. Expressing why you’d like them to consider a move and highlighting the benefits to working with us (above). To help you we have this handy template for you to customise and send to your school:

Hello,

I have been researching alternative school photography providers and would like to suggest School Photography Scotland for the next photography session.

They offer a number of benefits to the school including a percentage of the net profits invested back in to the school, free staff headshots, an easy online ordering system, and additional free photography time throughout the year.

Key for me, is that they are child centred. They don’t rush, but instead create a fun and relaxed environment where all children can enjoy the process of having their photographs taken. Their work is more than just normal school photography – it’s portraiture.

Their website has examples of their work, the benefits to us and more information on how they create a fun and relaxed photography experience for the children.

I’d love an opportunity to chat this over with you. Or alternatively, you can contact them directly at hello@schoolphotographyscotland.com

Best wishes,

Rebecca is such a talented photographer. I received the photos today and they are so special. My husband said he couldn’t believe how she managed to capture their souls in a single photograph-praise indeed!

Would highly recommend it, Rebecca was so great with my children and it was a relaxed fun session allowing my children to be themselves rather than being asked to pose awkwardly.

Emma McGroarty

Rebecca’s friendly and fun approach put both my daughters at ease straight away. She was professional and efficient, whilst taking the time to make sure details were just right.

She created a lovely relaxed environment and captured beautiful natural and joyful moments between my daughters, with a good selection of different shots to choose from.

The best school photos ever, I would highly recommend!

Pamela Barnes

Rebecca understands children and what makes a good photo. She has fun, puts everyone at ease and then gets amazing shots! We have had family, dance and school shoots and have been delighted with them all.

who are we?

REBECCA HOLMES - PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m an award-winning photographer with over two decades of experience taking photographs professionally. I’m also a wife, a musician and a mum of three who loves nutella, good coffee and fantastic G&Ts.

I am warm, gentle and super easygoing. There is literally nothing that can phase me.

I bring an ease and cheer to my work that makes me excellent (in particular) with children and families. I adore kids and getting the most delirious giggles out of them at a session is one of the best perks of my job.

LUCY WILSON - SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY ADMINISTRATOR

I've a background in Media Libraries and Information management, so organising school photography is right up my street! I'm also a piano teacher and mum of two.

After years of school photos of my children with unusual poses and odd expressions - I'm thrilled to be able to help Rebecca provide a better school photography experience.

The school photos Rebecca has taken of my two are natural, relaxed and happy and my children love them!

One of the best bits of my job is getting to know all of your children - putting them at ease (and tidying up their ties!) ahead of having their pictures taken.
