WELCOME TO RED CHERRY
My approach to preschool photography is more casual and relaxed than what I remember as a child and not a memory of anxiety, tears and tantrums and my photo looking like every other student.
With my approach children embrace their photography session with confidence as they get to control the situation which makes them at ease in front of the camera. Children are given one on one time so I can capture their true character. No crying, no sour faces in the final image.

THE USUAL DAY
I arrive at the school at an arranged time, usually around 9.30am. I start with the youngest children at the beginning of the day so no sleep times are disrupted; all siblings who attend the school together are also photographed. If parents have siblings who do not attend the school and wish siblings to have a photo together they are welcome to bring those children in. An earlier time ay be arranged so they can get to school on time if need be.
I aim to photograph each child on their first day of attendance unless other arrangements have been made for children to be photographed on another day of attendance. Usually I attend from Monday to Friday unless the days can be condensed to few only.
The week is stress free for teachers, as they do not need to organise the children, I do. I will ensure that each child has clean faces and neat hair.
It’s an easy morning of photography for everyone, no tears. Simply embracing the moment.
Children are given an opportunity to voice their thoughts of a portrait location; its funny when you see their brains ticking and their eyes racing for that perfect spot.
Group photos are offered as an entire group or a composite with each child.
The traditional group photo will be taken at a time chosen by the teacher that is convenient to the class at any time of the day which is suitable.
Complimentary staff, location and class photos are supplied to the school. These are great to have on file to display in your school foyer, publish in newsletters and showcase on the school website.
SIBLING PHOTOS
Siblings at the centre will be photographed at some point during the day, if you have siblings who do not attend the school and wish for them to be included its best to arrange with the school

THE FINAL PRODUCT
Professional portrait photography can be very expensive for parents to purchase and this is the perfect opportunity where they can purchase professional portraits of their child for a percentage of the cost that a session would charge. The images produce are not the ‘typical’ school photo but a moment in the child’s life that parents are proud to display in their home.
I am very proud and humbled that my photography can be part of a child’s future memories as they flip through their family albums in years, even generations to come.
A variety of products and packages are available to cater for all budgets and requirements starting from $25
Parents have the opportunity to purchase further products such as key ring’s and puzzles, perfect for Christmas presents.
Feedback from Directors and Teachers
‘Without fuss or bother Molly captured the children, using the outdoor environment in a relaxed situation. Her interactions with the children allowed the sessions to be a very positive experience.’
Maria Hogan, Gumnut Pre-kinder, Milton
‘We had Red Cherry Photography attend our 4 venues last year and have nothing but positive feedback from our parents. The parents loved the quality of the pictures and the reasonable pricing, the individual posing of each child was fabulous, no negative feedback. Staff especially noticed Molly’s handling of timid children; she managed this beautifully and took the time with each child. We are looking forward to this year’s preschool photos in term 4. Molly is very easy to work with and always accommodating, we highly recommend Red Cherry Photography, fantastic work Molly!
