For those bright eyes and bushy-tailed little new entrants!

These mini sessions take place in a genuine vintage school set up, inspired by the traditional old portraits my own parents had done where they started school. Pictured above is my Dad on his first day at school, alongside my son George.

Along with the vintage desk setup, we also have the option of our classic canvas backdrops if simple is more your style. Or you can book a ‘combo’ of both options if you want to go all out and get some with and without uniform.

Whatever option you choose - five is such a special milestone! Let’s celebrate it!

VINTAGE DESK
SETUP

My beautiful old school desk is filled with lots of little vintage treasures that I’ve gathered up especially for these sessions. I love how interactive and playful this set is, making it such a fun experience for our little new entrants. We also have a few vintage outfits on hand for if your school doesn’t have a uniform.

CLASSIC CANVAS
BACKDROPS

A classically styled session for if simple is more your style. This includes your choice of backdrop (white, cream or dark brown) plus studio wardrobe.

HARRY POTTER
EDITION

If you’d like to have this magical little twist to your session, just let us know in your booking notes and we’ll set up for you! We provide the magical schoolbooks, wands, robes and ties.

*Animals are not included! But if you have your own hogwarts-themed small pet, you are more than welcome to bring it along - just please flick me an email to double-check first.
