Stevie Lewis
Fantastic Photographer at Our School

The photographer who came to our primary school was fantastic. They knew how to connect with children, resulting in beautiful photos of my boys together. Their patience was commendable. Furthermore, there was a great range of products available; previously, I bought larger sets for family, but this time I chose three pictures to frame as Christmas gifts.

Great Support for Graduation Photos

I faced an issue with my graduation picture. When I reached out, the support team was very helpful and kind. They agreed to correct the mistake at no extra charge and even offered to send the new pictures for free! I would recommend this service to everyone. They are professional and genuinely helpful! Wishing them all the best!

Highly Recommend

As a parent, I was extremely satisfied with our experience with this school photography service. The photographers were kind, patient, and made my child feel at ease on picture day. The photos turned out beautifully and truly reflected my child’s personality. The ordering process was straightforward, and I appreciated the organized and professional approach. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would gladly recommend this service to other parents and schools.

Disappointed by Quality

I was shocked by the quality of the photos I received. They were more cropped and closer up than expected, not matching the image on the receipt or the QR code. Additionally, I was disappointed with the frames, which were flimsy cardboard without any cover for the photos, making them prone to collecting dust.

Concerning Order Mix-Up

I ordered a Christmas tree decoration featuring my child's school photo, but I was alarmed to receive an image of another child, from a different school! I’m now worried about the security of my child's photo. When I reached out, I was told my order would be shipped soon, but how can I trust that? This raises serious safeguarding concerns.

Overpriced Service

This service feels like a money grab, charging exorbitant prices for digital photos in this digital age, simply because they have a monopoly as a school vendor. Many of us wouldn't have chosen this service if we had alternatives based on the reviews.

A True Professional

The photographer is the only one who can get my son to sit still and look at the camera. We have consistently received lovely pictures from this service. Unfortunately, the prices are a bit steep for us, but I suppose that's just how this industry operates.

Frustrating Ordering Experience

The service was very unprofessional. Ordering through the website was nearly impossible. They charge for the photos, but there are significant delays in receiving them, sometimes lasting several months.

Exceptional Photographer

The photographer who visited our primary school was outstanding. They had a wonderful way of interacting with children, resulting in fantastic photos of my boys together. Their patience was impressive. I also appreciated the variety of products available; in the past, I purchased larger sets for family, but this time I opted for three pictures to frame as Christmas gifts.

Mixed Feelings About Quality

I’m somewhat satisfied with the quality of the physical prints. I can’t comment on digital downloads, as much depends on the display device and lighting. However, the ordering process is frustrating due to the bundle system. Simplifying the order options would save time and make pricing clearer. Bundles just complicate everything, reflecting the rigidity of modern bureaucracy.
