How often should we book with you? As children change so fast in the first few years and can start Nursery from a young age, we recommend a minimum of 2 times per year, usually Spring between April - June and Autumn between September - November which are our busy periods and we can also capture seasonal images at Christmas. We book 12 months in advance so get in touch if you would like to ensure a date. How many photos are taken of each child?
We aim to capture between 5-10 photographs of each child thus providing the parent with a choice of images. There is no set pose and we focus on achieving natural smiles. We may encourage children to play with toys to help them relax and we ask the staff and parents to help us, as they know the children best. Images can be purchased in Black and White via the link, technology is catching up so this is something the parents can do on ordering.
Are photographers CRB checked?
Yes all of our photographers have passed CRB checks. We also work in a way that means our photographers are not left alone with the children. The nursery staff will always be on hand to help us and offer guidance.
Do you offer staff photos?
Yes we can offer the nursery or preschool staff photographs which they can use on their noticeboards, website or for advertising.
Is the gallery safe?
Yes, the gallery is run by a well know provider and is very secure, we will provide a password to the gallery that only the parents and staff will know and we are able to change this if necessary. Our company will not use any images of the children in our marketing or advertising. The online gallery will be deleted after a pre-agreed period of time.
How long are the photographs in the secure online gallery?
We would usually keep the images up for around 2 to 3 weeks but we take guidance from the nursery about how long they want them to be online.
What happens if a child is not in on the day of the shoot?
We usually have 10-minute appointments available at the end of the day so parents can arrange to pop in and have photos of their child if they wish. If the nursery or preschool is particularly large then we may opt to photograph over 2 days to ensure that we have plenty of time photograph all of the children.
How much are the photos?
Prints start at just £7 each, there is no minimum spend. We pride ourselves on offering an affordable top quality product that everyone can enjoy.
What happens if a parent does not want their child photographed?
If a parent does not want their child to be photographed then they must inform the nursery and we will not photograph the child at all.
Do you use Photoshop?
Yes, we can Photoshop but we like to keep things natural. We will remove any obvious cuts, bruises or blemishes from the face and obvious places.
How experienced are you?
We have over 10 years experience in the photography industry and a wealth of knowledge within childrens photography. Sally has been running Little Pop Photography for 7 years and has over 9 years experience in baby photography so knows how to get those cheeky smiles.
What do the nursery need to do?
We need the nursery to contact us and book a date when we can come in and photograph the children. They must ask the parents if they wish to have their child photographed and organise the children accordingly (we can provide the relevant forms). We then upload the images a day or two later and the nursery will provide the parents with the gallery password. It is that simple.
We look forward to meeting your little ones!
