Hi Eimeo Kindy Families!
I am looking forward to visiting your centre in Week 8 of Term 2, 2023 to capture your Kindergartner’s photos.
Below is all the information you need about photo days. Please have a read through so you are familiar and if you have any questions, please contact me.
It's SUPER important that you register for photos prior to photo day. I take a variety of individual photos only for registered children. If you haven’t registered, no photos will be taken of your child. Please also DOUBLE CHECK your email address is correct when registering your child, as this is where your digital files will be sent to.
HOW IT WORKS:
Straight up, I will photograph the traditional group photo which will commence at 9:00am sharp, so please ensure your child arrives early on photo day.
After the group photo, we jump right into the individual photos, which will be a variety of portraits and play photos within the kindy grounds I will photograph these from around 9:30am until 1:00pm, under the guidance from the kindy staff, who will guide me with each child’s interest and when they are ready to photograph.
Registration is VITAL so I can contact you with details on how to view your child's photo gallery, purchase and download your digital images.
Please make sure to remember your child's photo day, as photos are not retaken if you forget to dress them in photo clothes / do their hair to your liking or forget that it’s photo day.
Without registration, your child won’t have any individual photos taken however, will be in the class photo.
Information for Parents
-
To avoid any disappointment and incur any late fees, please ensure your registrations and orders are completed by the due date, indicated to you and your centre.
REGRISTRATIONS: If you do not register your child before their allocated photo day, NO photos will be taken of them.
ORDERS: If orders are received after the due date, you will need to make a late payment, via the online store. Depending on lateness, will depend on your late fee. See Late Order Fees in the Kindy Photo Packages for more info. Please also note that you will not receive your prints and/or digital files until this late payment has been received. With any late orders (especially after photo day), there are no guarantees that you will receive prints that you have ordered (ie: if you order a Kooky Kollage after photo day, this print will not be able to be created, as the photographer would not have been informed that these photos needed to be taken).

A Traditional style photo will be taken on your allocated child’s class photo day. This is done first up and being a traditional group photo, it has its challenges, but I am big on having this traditional group photo, as these days, most ‘group’ photos are composite and traditional group photos give the feel of togetherness. The group photo will commence at 9:00am sharp, as I find this is the best time to get the children’s full attention in a group setting. They are also clean, hair is neat and tidy and they are excited! Please ensure your child arrives to kindy on time (if not, a bit earlier), to ensure there is no hold ups with this process. Group photos cannot be held off until every child arrives, as the children loose their focus and it impacts the rest of the day. Please make sure your child is there on time, so they don’t miss out being in the class photo. Any child not present for this photo (sick, late, etc), will be marked as absent and their photo will not be included in the class group photo. Sometimes, some children get overwhelmed with this process and may choose not to be in the class photo. TFP takes no responsibility with regards to this and if you have purchased a class photo, all efforts will be made to have your child present however, due to some circumstances, this may not occur. I cannot offer refunds due to this. Please note that class photos are offered as a PRINT ONLY and are included in photo packages or can be purchased on its own.
-
Please fill out a registration for each enrolled child you have that attends the centre. Only siblings who attend the centre will be eligible to get their sibling photo. Each of your enrolled children will have their own photo gallery. The photos taken of your children together will be placed into one of your child's photo gallery. A package for each child separately will need to be ordered. Mixing of photos from each gallery into 1 package is not permitted.
-
Fun play and portrait style photos with props at the centre. After the group photo, we jump right into the individual photos, which will be a variety of portraits and fun play photos within the kindy grounds. I will photograph these from 10:00am until 1:00pm under the guidance from the kindy staff, who will assist me with each child’s interest and when they are ready to photograph.
Kooky Kindy Kollage is a unique, personalised and fun way to capture your child’s silly side. Please note that the kooky results will vary, depending on each child’s personality and co-operation.

Digital Images
Each registered family who orders individual photos will receive an email within 24 hours after delivery of physical prints to the Kindy (typically 6 weeks after last photo day - please check junk/spam folders). The email will tell you where and how to view your child's photo gallery, where you can download your digital image/s (as per your pre-purchased package) and if you want to purchase any additional digital images, you can add them to your cart and pay at checkout then download straight away. On delivery of your digital images, you will be provided with a print release, which gives you permission to print your images wherever you like, for personal use only.Print Orders
All print orders will be delivered to your centre for collection approximately 6 weeks after the photo day, pending any delays with Australia Post, print labs, personal sickness/circumstances and/or due to COVID-19 restrictions. Please note that the selection of photos for your prints will be at the discretion of the photographer and your high-res photos will be printed at a reputable and high quality print lab within Australia. No additional print orders will be placed after photo day, unless agreed directly with the photographer, where additional fees will be charged.
