This portrait photography service at Downe House is entirely optional and operates on selected Wednesday and Friday afternoons during the Michaelmas Term to catch new girls and the Summer Term to catch Leavers. All years however, are welcome during either term.

It is important to note that these are not the archetypal school photographs you are perhaps used to. We aim is to produce very high quality portraits in black and white or colour which will last a lifetime. The mood we set out to capture is more one of photos "at home" rather than school photos.

Sittings are kept as informal as possible within a studio setting at Downe House and will last approx 10 minutes each. During the sitting we will take enough photographs to produce a minimum of 15 good proof photographs; both half length and head and shoulders portraits. Within three weeks of the sitting we send you a contact sheet from which you can select your photographs. See the photograph re-order form on the top of this page for a description and price of our products.

Photographs will be taken in black and white unless you request otherwise on the booking form.

All girls can be photographed in tidy mufti of their choice, their school uniform or selected sports clothes. Please state your requirements on the booking form.

We are very happy to photograph sisters together and small groups of leavers together for Portraits and Cut Outs.

The cost of the sitting to include photography, film, proofs, postage, packing and VAT is as follows: -

To ensure the School is in no way burdened by the administration of this activity, all bookings and financial arrangements should be made direct with this office.

Those wishing to take part in the next Michaelmas or Summer term should now complete and return the booking form at the top of this page. This must reach us by no later than the 2nd week of the appropriate term. Please don’t delay, do it now!! Quite a lot of parents missed the boat last summer term because with everything else going on they forgot to send in the form on time.

Once bookings are made and confirmed we will send each girl taking part a letter giving date, time, venue and clothing instructions, (a copy will also be sent the parents).

Please remember this brochure now covers bookings for the Michaelmas term 2006 and the Summer term of 2007.

No further reminders or brochures will be sent. Please therefore act now if you wish your daughter to be photographed during either of these two terms.

If you have any questions, requests or ideas, please do telephone or e-mail my office at any time, 01488 685256 or e-mail: mail@richardgreenlyphoto.co.uk. This service is only available to a handful of independent schools and we want it to be very good and exclusive. If you know of another school that would benefit from this service please put them in touch.
