School portraits Ireland
Those who have already hired me for school photography can confirm that my interest in the photography and in children is genuine.
Where we operate
We offer school portraits all over Ireland. We primarily shoot school portraits in Co. Kerry, where we live, in Co. Cork and Limerick, where we have regular customers, but we are happy to come to the other end of Ireland. Of course, it has to make economic and practical sense.
Who we are?
We are a Czech couple who runs small family business in Ireland since 2018 with previous experience in other EU countries.
I do most of the school photography, if it is not possible to divide larger schools into several days, my wife Kamila joins me. We are parents of two children (7yrs and 1 month) so it’s sometimes hard, but not unsolvable, to do the photo shoots together.
Behind our studio portraits are hundreds of hours of study, tests and practical experience.
Our approach
We care a lot about the result, we are patient and we don’t leave until we are not completely satisfied. At the same time, we fully respect the running of the school.
We photograph each school according to individual requirements. Every school has a different color of uniform, some do not have a uniform and we are always ready to advise which setup is best for your school. We are not lazy to come up with something original.
We like to play with light. Thanks to our rich supply of off camera flashes and various light shapers, we can create a photo according to your wishes. if you have no idea, that’s fine, tell us a little about your school and we’ll know how to photograph your students immediately. It’s no secret that I love the grey background because of its neutral look, but I’m not forcing it on anyone.
What we usually photograph?
Individual child portraits, siblings, class photo, school photo, individual and group photo of teachers.
Pricing
We would like to bring the joy of quality photograph to every family, even to those who cannot normally afford a family portrait for hundreds of euros. Prices starting as low as €27 per child. Every school gets individual quotation.
Are you interested?
Simply use one of our communication channels in the contacts section.
We will get back to you within 48 hours, we will discuss your idea and if you like our ideas, we will plan a visit to your school or schedule the date for your school. We also do the graduation photos in pre-schools locally.
How does it work?
We will prepare a letter for parents in pdf, so they will know everything in advance. You will always know what comes next and how much time we need.
On the day of the photo shoot, we will arrive on time (we are always on time), prepare the equipment and start shooting according to the pre-agreed plan. After the photo shoot, we can sit down, have a tea, go through the photos and estimate when the photos will be ready.
We will process the photos and send you a link to our password protected client gallery section, where parents can order their prints. We can offer every type of print what exist.
Thank you for supporting a local family business!
Tom The Sneem Photographer came to Scoil Mhichíl to take photos of our wonderful pupils. Tom and Kamila are very organised. Informative letters and consent forms were arranged by them for parents. The only task I had as a school secretary was to send out the information by email to our families. On the day of the photoshoot Tom arrived punctually. He was set up in no time and without any interruption to the school day. Tom has a fabulous personality. He is calm and kind and gave time to greet each child individually as they came forward for their photographs. It was a busy morning for Tom but one he mastered to perfection. After 3 days Tom promptly contacted our families and they have now received their digital prints and are very happy with the photographs. If you are planning on engaging with a photographer for your school portraits we would highly recommend Tom The Sneem Photographer.
Maith thú Tom.
