Meet Timmy & Tilly

In a cove on the coast, at the edge of the land...

We’ve been working on something a little different, you might even call it a little fishy…in a good way.

School photo day can be a stressful experience for some children. The change from the routine, the hustle and bustle, and the unique and diverse way every child will see the busy world around them.

In a bid to address this and ensure every child gets a photo day that they can enjoy without anxiety and stress, we reached out to families for their own experiences. From the amazing feedback received we began to build resources and change elements of photo day with the goal of being something every child can look forward to.

This is still a work in progress; however, we are delighted to be able to share our first free resource. A little storybook that addresses some of the common themes that sparked worry on photo day.

Meet Timmy & Tilly and read about their School Photo Day Adventures…
