“Charlotte commented on how lovely you were, how you put everyone at ease and made it so less awkward than many of the school photo sessions that she has been through over the years.

We know rearranging these shoots for schools can be quite the headache so we have a few options. We always plan for a backup wet weather location, either somewhere sheltered outside, or somewhere nice inside that still shows the school off at its best.

We can arrange another day for any students that were off school, as long as we can find a time that they are all in.
I have experience with working with many different children, particularly SEN students, so completely understand that having a photo taken is challenging for some. I have a lot of patience and the style of our photos mean that we can adapt and do something that they love if it helps get the shot.
