PRESCHOOL + KINDY PHOTOGRAPHY

I make capturing your child's special moments easy and fun. Whether it's playful outdoor portraits or indoor studio style shots, I've been a family photographer for over 10 years and know how to bring out the best in every child. Here’s what I offer:

  • No upfront payments: No need to chase parents for cash or worry about missed orders.

  • Free copies for centers: You’ll receive individual, class, and staff photos at no charge.

  • Indoor portrait options: Rain or shine, photo day goes on, and everyone stays comfortable.

  • Low-stress approach: I’m flexible and work with the needs of your center.

  • Private online galleries: Parents can view photos before ordering, with prints and digitals available.

  • Multiple photos to choose from: Along with classic smiling photos, you'll get images that capture each child's unique personality.

  • Sibling photos at no extra cost: Families can pick their favorites or download the full gallery.

Before Photo Week

Your center will let you know the scheduled day for your child’s photos. If they’re absent, we’ll catch them the next day or arrange a makeup session. All siblings at the center will be photographed together.

After Photo Week

Photos will be ready to view in 14-21 days through your private online account, with email notifications (check your junk folder!). There’s a two-week period for free school delivery, and you’ll be notified of the exact dates. After that, a delivery charge will apply.

Digital portraits are available for immediate download through your account. You can view, order, and download photos anytime, anywhere.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR THE PHOTOS?

Goodstart South Hurstville Photo Day Registration Form

I’m looking forward to visiting your day care centre on Tuesday 17th and Thursday 19th of September. Further below you’ll find FAQ about the day and snapshot of some of my packages. If anything is unclear, or you’d like to chat with me, feel free to get in touch. If you have not submitted your registration form I am unable to photograph your child on the day. My style is relaxed and natural and my goal is to capture a true reflection of your child. I can’t wait to meet everyone!

 FAQ for Parents

If you want photos taken of your child. Fill Out the Registration Form. This needs to be done before photo day since it gives us the green light to photograph your child. If you don't register, we won’t be able to take individual photos of your little one.

Photo Package Prices:

  • Single Digital Files: $30 each, or grab a bundle for a discount.

  • Print Packages: Starting at just $25, super affordable.

  • Group Photo Prints: $25.

  • Extras: We also offer individual items like single prints, framing, and calendars.

For Siblings at the Same Centre: Each child needs their own package, so you’ll pick one per child.

​If your child is absent on photo day? We’re usually at the center for 1-2 days, there might be a chance to bring them in while we’re still around. Just contact us to reschedule during our time there.If we’ve already wrapped up our sessions, we might be able to return for one more visit (depending on our schedule). In that case, there would be an upfront fee, but it’ll go towards any purchases you make.

What should my child wear for photo day? Honestly, the best photos are all about capturing your child’s face, so fancy clothes aren’t necessary. Just make sure they’re in something clean and comfy. We do suggest avoiding red, big brand logos, or slogans on tees. Whether it’s a cute dress or a well-loved shirt that’ll be a keepsake and make you smile when you look back on it.

If you have specific requests just note it on the registration form or tell the teacher. We only have time for 1 set of clothing.

Do you take Sibling photos ? Yes, absolutely! If your siblings are both/all enrolled at the centre - we photograph them at some point during the morning that you have selected for photos. Each sibling must be registered for sibling photos to be taken.  A gallery of images is provided for each child separately with the photos of the siblings together placed into the youngest child's photo gallery. Please select the SAME photo day for each of your siblings so we can photograph them together. 

PLEASE NOTE: We do not photograph siblings NOT enrolled at the centre that are younger than school age due to time constraints and other factors. Please arrange a family session on a weekend for this service. Our priority is to capture children registered at the centre plus possibly older school age children for sibling photos only.​

My child is shy and probably won’t want to be photographed?  Sometimes a smile may not happen but we will try to capture them doing an activity they love. It’s not our style to push or ask for cheese smiles, we’re all about authentic captures so it’s very much child led. Our approach is respectful to the child and never forced. A little chat and we will see where they are at. We do our best to make it a low pressure environment and hopefully we see a little flicker of who they are.

 

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

ORDERING + TIMEFRAMES

After your photo week, your child's photos will be processed, edited, and uploaded to a private online gallery. This can take 1-3 weeks, depending on the number of children at your Centre and the time of year. Once the photos are ready, you'll receive an email with a password to access your private gallery.

Important Notes:

  1. We do not provide a thumbnail preview of the class photo due to child protection laws.

  2. The gallery is private to protect your child’s privacy; please do not share the password.

You'll have 10 days to order your images online through the gallery. Orders will be accepted after this time but a delivery fee will apply and they will sent to your home, not the centre.

DELIVERY

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS

If you purchase digital photographs, you will receive an email with a link to download the photographs instantly.

PRINTED PHOTOGRAPHS

Print parcels will be delivered to your Childcare Centre for collection approximately 2 weeks after the order closing date. You’ll receive an email when they are ready to collect.


By registering you agree to the following Terms and Conditions

- What if I'm not happy with my photographs? We understand how important these memories are to you! That's why we provide an average of 6-8 photographs of each child, focusing on capturing natural, playful moments. With our approach, it's unlikely that there won't be at least one photo you love.

Our team is skilled at bringing out beautiful expressions from children, whether they’re shy, serious, or full of energy. While we can’t always guarantee a big, beaming smile, we do our best to capture your child's true personality. We often spend extra time with the quieter ones to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. Rest assured, we're committed to giving you images that you’ll cherish.

- The photographer is not responsible for photographs not taken as a result of the client’s failure to provide reasonable assistance or cooperation - this includes little ones. The photographer is not responsible if the client and/or key individuals fail to appear or cooperate during the portrait session or for missed images due to details not revealed to Photographer.

- Clothing Choice: - The Photographer is not responsible for clothing choice. If you forget to dress your child in your preferred clothing, where possible we will attempt to reschedule them to another day, or find a clean nice top in their bag.

- Siblings: - Each child needs to be registered individually and will be photographed individually. A sibling photograph is not guaranteed as we respect your Childs nap times, need for a feed and those who are shy. Packages and orders can not be combined.

- There is no refund given on purchases.

- If purchasing digital photographs, ensure you check the image accurately before purchasing. Given the instant downloadable nature of this product, under no circumstances will a refund or exchange be given if you make the wrong selection.

- Printed Photographs will be delivered to your childcare centre for collection.

- Digital photographs are provided as JPEG files via email to the email address you provide and are suitable for personal printing. Note permanent scars, cleft pallets, birth marks and the like are not removed in the post production development process.

- The Photographer retains Copyright of ALL photographs and hereby grants the Client unlimited but nonexclusive rights to use or reproduce non water-marked photographs for personal use only. Images may not be used for commercial business use, publication, competition or modelling portfolio building without the express permission of the photographer. All photographs are protected by Copyright Law.

-The Client is not permitted to alter the photographs in any way including colour conversion, adding filters or any alteration that deters from the Photographers finished product.
