School and Pre School Photography

We take the photos parents love
When you choose Inspire, you’ll find we’re more than just a friendly and
professional school photography service. We’ve been taking
photographs of children for years – in the studio, at home, on
commercial shoots, and as part of our service to schools and Early
Childhood Education Centres. We know how to get the best out of your
children. And we take the kind of photos that parents love to buy.

It’s a great way to fundraise
Our service costs nothing to organise and we return 10% of the sale
price back to your centre or school. This can make a significant
contribution towards your total fundraising for the year. The more we
sell, the more you earn – and the high quality of our individual, sibling
and friend portraits make them a popular choice with parents.

We really like working with children
  • We’re experienced at getting the best out of children.
  • We get great shots by making sure that people are relaxed and having fun.
  • Our photographers are friendly and patient.
  • Above all, we’re easy to work with, totally trustworthy and always professional.

You can just leave it to us
Inspire is an established local photography business based in central
Wellington. We have a reputation for high quality portraiture and
excellent customer service. Our unique approach has already made us a popular choice with Primary Schools and Early Childhood Centres around the region.

So how do we work?

On the day:
Using our newly developed ‘Card’ system, our team will arrive and set up early morning and work our way efficiently through all of your photography needs, which may include:
  •  Individual portraits, sibling and best friend portraits.
  • Staff, group and individual portraits
  • Groups: class, cultural, & sport

We name all the class photos on the day with the teachers, so your school office does not have. Our photographer’s assistant will work with staff to organise the children with the least amount of disruption to class time.
Rain is no problem; we can use our pop-up gazebo or take photos in a sheltered outdoor area. We’ll bring helpful toys and props – and do our thing!

After the shoot:
  • Within 2-3 days of the shoot we’ll email through the class group photographs for you to confirm the naming is correct.
  • Two weeks later, we’ll put them online in a password-protected gallery so parents can view them and place their orders.
  • Six weeks after the shoot, we’ll deliver the photos to the school, packaged and labelled for easy distribution.
  • All prints come with a 5mm white border and a white card envelope as standard.
  • All photos, except the group photo, are available in both black and white, and colour, and borders can be removed if preferred.
  • Our photos of teachers are free, You’ll receive one laminated print of each group for the school and one for each teacher in the group (up to a total of 6). If you requested group teacher photos, we’ll email you a high resolution file for use on your website or print as many as you need.
