Photography that allows a little time for children to settle, warm up and show their character, while still keeping the day manageable for your nursery team.
Primary schools
Modern school portraits parents will want to keep

Experience that matters
More than 17 years photographing babies, children and families.
Little Portraits Co is led by professional photographer Alan Clarke, bringing more than 17 years of experience working with children of different ages, personalities and confidence levels across the North East.
Some children arrive ready to smile. Others need a little time, patience or a different approach. The aim is to adapt the photography to the child rather than expecting every child to adapt to the photography.
✓Patient, calm and child-focused approach
✓Experience working with children with additional needs
✓Professional studio portrait experience brought into your setting
How it works
A straightforward photography day.
01
Plan
We agree numbers, timings, room requirements and the practical details with your setting.
02
Photograph
We bring the professional lighting and portrait setup to you and work through the children calmly and efficiently.
03
Parents view
Families receive clear information about viewing their photographs and placing an order.
04
Delivery
Orders are prepared and supplied using the fulfilment process agreed with your nursery or school.
For parents
Portraits that feel like their child.
Parents want a photograph they recognise, not simply a record of what their child looked like on school photo day. The portrait-led approach gives us room to capture individual character while maintaining a consistent professional style.
Simple ordering
This area is ready for the secure gallery and ordering process once you decide which fulfilment system you want to use.
“The aim isn't to make every child give exactly the same smile. It's to create a portrait their family recognises as them.”
That principle sits at the centre of Little Portraits Co.
