SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY

every school day is a story worth telling.

Alys and Jess work exclusively with schools and education communities, capturing the real, unguarded moments that make your community proud. And because Jess is also a writer, every shoot can come with editorial coverage ready to publish.

WHY IT MATTERS

your school creates moments worth remembering every single day.

Schools rely on photography and video for more than you might realise; newsletters, annual reports, social media, enrolment brochures, curriculum documentation, grant applications.

A phone photo taken mid-chaos communicates something. So does an image taken by someone who knows how light falls in a science lab, how to make a six-year-old forget the camera exists, and how to frame a portrait so it actually looks like leadership.

The difference isn't subtle. It's the difference between content that gets scrolled past and content that makes a parent stop, feel something, and feel proud their child goes to your school.

Our Team

Alys Carr

Alys is a technically meticulous photographer with a gift for disappearing into a room. Students don't perform for her, they just keep being themselves, which is exactly when the best pictures happen. Whether it's a makerspace project, a quiet reading moment, or a whole-school event, Alys finds the image you didn't know you needed.

Jess Grant

Jess brings a journalist's instinct to every shoot. She's not just looking for a beautiful frame, she's looking for the story inside it. As a writer, she can turn a school sports day, a concert, or an excursion into editorial-quality coverage: photographs paired with copy that's ready to drop straight into your newsletter, your website, or your social channels. No extra work on your end.

"together, they cover ground that a single photographer simply can't."

Together, they cover ground that a single photographer simply can't. Two perspectives at a whole-school event. One capturing the big picture while the other finds the detail. A faster turnaround. And the rare, genuine ability to hand your school a finished story — not just a folder of files.

Capturing iconic moments from the classroom to the coastline.
