School & Nursery Photography Across Staffordshire & Derbyshire
Professional school photography that's organised around your school.
Deere Photographic provides professional school and nursery photography for schools throughout Staffordshire, Derbyshire and the wider Midlands.
We photograph everything from nursery and primary school portraits through to secondary schools, sixth forms and school leavers.
Our approach combines professional photography with careful organisation, making photo day as straightforward as possible for schools, staff, pupils and parents.
A Complete School Photography Service
We understand that school photography involves much more than taking photographs.
A successful photo day needs to fit around your school day, work efficiently with large numbers of pupils and produce photographs that parents are genuinely happy to purchase.
That's why we take care of the practical details as well as the photography.
Our school photography service can include:
- Individual pupil portraits
- Nursery photography
- Class and year group photographs
- Whole-school photographs
- School leavers and Year 6 photography
- Staff headshots
- Staff boards and identification photographs
- Sibling photographs
- Prospectus and marketing photography
- Online viewing and ordering
- Direct-to-home delivery
"Thank you so much for ensuring all photo's were done in such a tight timescale!" - Grange Primary.
Individual School Portraits
We create professional individual portraits that capture pupils naturally while maintaining a consistent, polished style across the school.
We use pupil identification systems designed to make image matching straightforward, helping reduce administration for school staff.
We can also provide images suitable for school management systems, including SIMS, Arbor and Seemis, where required.
"The Childrens photo's have arrived today - they look amazing. We look forward to working with you again." Jane, Senior Administrator.
Class & Year Group Photography
From traditional class photographs to larger year group and whole-school images, we can create group photographs to suit your school.
For larger groups, we can use techniques including panoramic and composite photography where appropriate, allowing us to create carefully composed photographs without compromising the efficiency of the school day.
"I absolutely love the year group photos and the headshots... they are the best quality we've had at the school." Hannah - Year 11 Head
School Leavers Photography
School photographs should reflect the occasion.
For Year 6, Year 11 and other leaver groups, we create photographs & products that are more distinctive than a standard class photograph, including contemporary group portraits, Autograph Books, and our Moving Memories video product.
Staff Headshots
Your staff photographs are an important part of your school's website, prospectus and communications.
We can photograph teaching and support staff alongside your pupil photography, providing consistent professional headshots without requiring staff to arrange a separate photography session.
Sibling Photography
We can also photograph siblings together during school photography days, providing families with the opportunity to purchase photographs featuring more than one child.
Online Ordering & Direct Delivery
Our online ordering system makes it easy for parents to view their photographs and purchase directly.
Photographs can be ordered online and delivered directly to the family, reducing administration for your school.
Making Photo Day Easier for Schools
We understand that school photography has to work around lessons, registration, breaks, assemblies and everything else happening during the school day.
We therefore work closely with schools before the photography date to plan the schedule and agree the most efficient approach.
Our aim is simple:
Professional photographs, minimal disruption and a straightforward experience for everyone involved.
