Reception Ready: First Day of School Portraits
September 2026
Because That First Day Feeling Deserves More Than a Quick Doorstep Snap
First Day of School Portraits: A Big Day Deserves a Beautiful Portrait
Celebrate their very first step into school life.
The uniform is ready, the shoes are shiny, and the name labels are stuck on everything.
And suddenly… it hits you.
This is it. Your little one is starting school.
Whether it’s their very first day or the next big step in their journey, this is one of those moments — the kind you’ll always remember. And not just because you’ve got a to-do list a mile long. But because your heart is so full, it might just burst.

A First Look at Our Beautiful New 2026 School Setting
Every year deserves something special. For our 2026 Reception Ready Portrait Experience, we’ve created an elegant new school setting designed to celebrate this exciting new chapter before the classroom adventure begins.
This Moment Matters – For Them and For You
You’ve done the nurturing, the cuddles, the nursery drop-offs, the bedtime stories on repeat. And now, here they are – growing up before your eyes. The way they light up with excitement about their new teacher. The nervous fidgeting with their collar. The little backpack that suddenly looks just a bit too big.
This transition isn’t just theirs – it’s yours too.
Our Reception Ready: First Day of School Portraits Experience are specially designed for families like yours – parents who feel that mixture of bursting pride and tugging heartstrings as your child takes this leap – to help you pause and celebrate it all. Not with a quick phone snap in the rush of the morning, but with a beautifully crafted portrait that captures your child’s personality right now – before the school gates swing open.
What to Expect
These sessions are joyful, relaxed, and tailored just for you.
We’ve got classic school props (think mini chalkboards and storybooks), and you’ll be right there to see your little one beaming with pride, excitement… maybe even a touch of shyness.
We take time to bring out their natural expressions – the ones you see every day but don’t always catch on camera.
Siblings welcome. Giggles encouraged. And tissues? Probably a good idea to bring a few.

-
We had a wonderful portrait photoshoot experience with Helen and Tony of Moore & Moore Photography, where we were made to feel relaxed and welcome in their beautiful home studio. The tulle and lace dresses were simply gorgeous and Rumaysa had such a lovely time and was made to feel like a real little princess! The final portraits are absolutely stunning and we are so happy with them. They were also packaged and presented beautifully and are real treasures that we will cherish forever.
-
We were all comfortable with Helen and Tony, and I think that shows in the beautiful images they took. They are genuine people with a passion for their work, which instantly inspires a happy, carefree mood. This made our shoot an absolute pleasure all round. Not only do we have beautiful photos to treasure always, we also have everlasting memories of a happy day filled with love and laughter. Thank you!
-
Helen and Tony certainly exceeded our expectations. Not only did they produce the most beautiful images of our 12 month old daughter, but they also made sure we enjoyed every moment. They impressed with their expertise, professionalism and attention to detail, as well as how they made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera. We will definitely return.
Meet your photographers
Because childhood is short.
Celebrate every moment with your children and create memories for a lifetime.
Hello! We’re Helen & Tony Moore, and we’re based in the leafy town of Fleet, Hampshire.
Helen Moore
Hello! I’m Helen, and when I’m not photographing clients, I do love a ‘chick-flick’ and Lady Marmalade (my beloved cat) curled up on my lap.
With any photoshoot involving children and animals, many people’s the biggest fear is whether or not the children will “behave”, or if we’ll capture beautiful photographs.
Our philosophy around here is that the children know how to behave just fine – we just have to keep up!
Tony Moore
Hello! I’m Tony, and I love cake and can’t resist a bit of chocolate!
As a dad of two girls, and now a grandad of four, there is nothing your kids will do that will surprise or shock me.
