School Photography

Junior Infants - Holy Communion - Confirmation - Class Photos - Staff Photos - Special Days

Your child’s first day at school, their communion and confirmation days are three of the most important occasions in their young lives. Capturing these events on camera is the best way of preserving those special occasions so good advice is to get it right by using a professional photographer.

Style

Schools Photographer Simon Archer takes a fresh approach to school portraits.

Rather than the formal head shot with dated backdrop, Simon opts for the high-key or pastel toned backdrops and more casual poses.

Simon prefers to take the junior class photo in the children's own classroom, having the children around the teacher’s desk, for example, with their schoolwork in the background. This has proved very popular with parents, teachers and the children.

How it works

Simon Archer Photography uses a mobile studio set-up when he visits any of the schools and creches in his portfolio and takes a number of different poses for his communion and confirmation shoots – providing a full studio session experience rather than a sit –smile – shoot format.

There is NO PAYMENT up front and NO OBLIGATION on parents to buy.
Approximately two weeks after the photo shoot, order forms with a large selection of options and sample images will be brought back to the school.

Safe and No Hassle

Parents then order and pay online - so there is no hassle for teachers handling payments and order forms.

All orders are then individually packaged and returned to the school.

- First Holy Communion - Parents are offered a number of different poses to choose from

There are many Special Offer Packs to choose from which include FREE digital images and 10x8” class photos for just €10.

Testimonials

Simon Archer has been our school photographer for a number of years now and I cannot recommend his fresh approach to photography enough. He has an excellent way with the children, putting them at ease and getting the very best out of each photographic opportunity. His photography encompasses the children in their natural form, rather than the ‘stiff’ traditional portraits of the past, and our entire school community, especially our parents are always extremely pleased with the end result. Simon himself is very easy to deal with, extremely flexible and his photography is excellent value for money. From sporting events to Confirmations and school calendars, we are delighted to have Simon as our school photographer – I highly recommend him!
— Gwyn Bhreathnach - St Helen's Senior School Portmarnock
Simon Archer has been taking all of our school photos for a number of years, junior infants, First Holy Communion and Confirmation. As we have four classes at each level, we need someone who can work smart and work independently. Simon is very efficient, has a great way with the children, and produces beautiful photographs. A wonderful service.
