School Workshops

See The World Differently...

Bring the art of photography into the classroom with creative, hands-on workshops designed to build visual literacy, inspire curiosity, and support pupil wellbeing.

Perfect for enrichment days, Arts Week, curriculum-linked learning, or simply to add a fresh creative spark to your term.

My school photography workshops combine art, technology, and playful creativity – helping children slow down, look closer, and discover their unique way of seeing. These hands-on sessions are designed especially for KS2 pupils, introducing them to the core skills of visual storytelling, creative observation, and composition.

About Me:

I’m Danielle – a qualified Primary School Teacher, former Art Lead, and now full-time photographer with over 6 years’ experience. My work spans family photography (from newborns to grandparents), creative business branding, community workshops, and everything in between. I’ve led one-to-one sessions and interactive group shoots, always with a focus on natural moments, play, and creativity.

I hold an enhanced DBS and bring a warm, inclusive, SEN-friendly approach to every school I work with.

What Your Pupils Will Gain:

Each session is designed to be playful, practical, and purposeful – giving pupils real photography skills they can build on, while supporting wellbeing and creativity.

"On the shoot she was brilliant at directing our children, improvising when needed, having props on hand to get the children out of their shells and working around them and their different temperaments. And we totally loved our photos - finally some family photos to be proud of and in which we all feature! She is also a truly lovely person!"
