To all of the Year 11’s who are this morning waking up to collect GCSE results. Remember WHO looks back at you in the mirror. Grades don’t measure everything!

Go and be amazing! 💜

📖 Well... here it is!

After keeping this under wraps for a while, I can finally reveal the cover of something I've spent a LOT of time working on...

The School Photography Business Handbook.

It still feels slightly strange seeing it as an actual book!

I've tried to create something I genuinely wish I'd had when I first started out in school photography.

It's full of the things I've learned along the way, the things that have worked, the things that haven't, the mistakes I've made and the lessons that have helped shape the business we have today.

There's plenty more I want to tell you about it, but I'm going to save some of that for another day. 👀

For now, I'm putting together a small VIP SNEAK PEEK list.

Before the book is officially released, I'm going to give a small group of people the chance to get an early look at it and see what's inside.

Fancy being one of them?

👇 Comment SNEAK PEEK below and I'll add you to the VIP list.
And there it is... my first ever book cover reveal! 😬📖

📖 I've been working on something I'm really excited to finally start talking about...

When I first got into school photography, I remember trying to figure so much of it out for myself.

How do you actually build a school photography business?
How do you get schools?
How do you price things?
What systems do you need?
What happens when you start growing?
And what are the mistakes you really want to avoid?

I always wished there was something I could pick up that was written by someone actually doing it.

So... I've created it.

I've been working on The School Photography Business Handbook, sharing what I've learned from building my own school photography business, including plenty of things I've got right and quite a few I've got wrong!

It's not about telling people there's one "right" way to do school photography.

It's about sharing a way and hopefully helping other photographers find their own.

I'm not going to give too much away just yet...

But I'm really looking forward to showing you more very soon. 👀📖

As another fantastic school year comes to a close, we're putting the finishing touches on our final school visits before the summer break.

A huge thank you to every school, member of staff, parent and student we've had the pleasure of working with this year. Your continued support means the world to our team.

While the classrooms are emptying, we're now in full prom season, capturing some incredible memories as students celebrate the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next.

What a brilliant way to round off another amazing academic year. 🎓✨
