For me, school photography is not about formal portraits. It’s about a moment in life that will never happen again.
It’s about who your children are right now: how they communicate, laugh, sit at their desks, and feel within their class. These small details are what become the most valuable over time.
It’s about who your children are right now: how they communicate, laugh, sit at their desks, and feel within their class. These small details are what become the most valuable over time.
It’s important to me that children recognize themselves in the photos — without identical poses or “forced smiles.” During the shoot, children are free to laugh, move, be themselves, and suggest ideas, even if a child is shy or doesn’t usually enjoy being photographed.
Although parents make the decision to book the photoshoot, these photographs are, first and foremost, for the children themselves. For memories they will want to return to later.

My goal is to organize the process in a way that gives attention to every child and leaves the class with an honest, warm story of their time together.

FAQ
Yes. That's why the photo session with students and the production of the albums are paid separately. However, I still recommend printing an album for each child because children love to look at them and show them to others as evidence of their growth and another stage in life. You can also order multiple copies of the photo book for one student to give one to the grandparents.
When planning the shooting day, I will tell you all the nuances of preparation and advise on choosing clothes.
With over 15 years of experience as a photographer, I have gained extensive experience working with children of all ages. I can shoot both, the “beginners” in kindergarten and high school graduates.
Layout and printing of finished albums take 5 weeks after I give you the photos in electronic form (6-7 weeks from the date of the shoot). I print albums in Cyprus, so there are usually no issues with manufacturing times.
Whenever it's convenient. But keep in mind that it will take 6-7 weeks to make the albums. If you want to hand out the finished albums at graduation, the shoot should be done no later than March.
Yes, you can. In this case, the pictures do not necessarily have to be taken only with a professional camera. You can create an album even from photos taken with students' phones. The cost of making such albums is calculated individually.
