Family Subscription

Every Photograph of Their School Year, Kept Close

Our Subscription gives the families at your school one simple way to receive every photograph we take of their student through the year, traditional and candid, in high resolution and ready to treasure.

You agree the year's photography with us. We set a fair price and look after everything else, from sign up to delivery, so there is nothing for your office to administer.

How Families Get Their Photographs

Most families choose the Annual Memory Pass. Those who would rather not subscribe can simply buy the photographs they want, one at a time.

The Subscription

Annual Memory Pass

Priced Per School, Billed Annually

One yearly payment covers every photograph we take of a student across the whole school year, traditional and candid, in high resolution.

  • Complete digital access to every photograph from every session
  • Automatic sibling and multiple student rates applied at checkout
  • A clear, pro rata refund if a family needs to cancel partway through the year
  • Priced on the photography agreed with your school, so it stays fair for everyone

Or Buy Individual Photographs

No subscription and no commitment. Families choose a favourite photograph or two and pay for those alone. Every image still stays safe in our archive, and they can move up to the Annual Memory Pass at any point in the school year.

How the Subscription Works

Setting up takes one conversation. After that, families deal with us directly and your office is not involved.

For Your School

  1. Agree the Year's Photography

    We plan the traditional and candid sessions for the year with you, so everyone knows exactly what is included.

  2. We Set a Fair Price

    The yearly price is based on the photography agreed, then shared openly with families. Nothing is marked up through the school.

  3. Share One Link

    We give you a single sign up link for newsletters, the parent portal or new starter packs. That is the school's part done.

For Your Families

  1. Subscribe Online

    Families follow the link, choose the Annual Memory Pass or a single photograph, and pay us securely.

  2. Receive Every Session

    Each time we photograph their student, the new images appear in the family's account in high resolution, ready to download.

  3. Keep and Order Anytime

    Their photographs stay with us for life, ready to revisit or turn into a framed or hand finished keepsake whenever they wish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Subscription cost the school anything?

No. The school agrees the year's photography with us and shares the sign up link. Families pay for their own subscriptions, and we handle everything else.

How is the yearly price decided?

It is based on the number of photography sessions agreed with your school. More sessions in the year mean more in the Pass, so the price reflects what is actually included.

What about families who do not subscribe?

They can still buy individual photographs one at a time, and upgrade to the Annual Memory Pass at any point in the school year.

Can a family cancel partway through the year?

Yes. Cancellation is on clear, pro rata terms, so a family only pays for the part of the year they have had.

How do sibling rates work?

If a family has more than one student at the school, the reduced rate is applied automatically at checkout. There is nothing to claim or ask for.

How do families receive their photographs?

Every image appears in the family's secure account in high resolution soon after each session, ready to download. Nothing is sent home in a school bag.

How long can families access their photographs?

For life. Every photograph stays in our archive, so families can download originals or order prints many years later.

Does this replace proof cards and order forms?

Yes. Subscribing families have everything in their account, which means far less paper for your office to hand out and chase.
