Memory Box

School and early years photography in the Midlands, South Yorkshire and London

Memory Box is a British photography studio focused on school and early years portraiture. Its work is aimed at nurseries, pre-school centres, primary and secondary schools, as well as dance schools. The company operates under the name Memory Box Studio Limited and states a combined track record of more than twenty years in photography and video, plus over twenty-five years of experience in school and early years management.

Early years and school stage portraits

In the early years segment, the firm carries out sessions at nurseries and pre-school centres with an unposed approach, aimed at capturing natural expressions. These sessions can take place indoors or outdoors and include individual, group, graduation, sibling and baby photography options.

For primary and secondary schools, the service covers individual portraits and class photographs, with indoor, outdoor and sibling options. The company also covers sports, event, performing arts and classroom photography, as well as sessions for dance schools, where it photographs individual students, couples and whole groups of all ages and abilities.

Capture and ordering process for educational settings

Memory Box describes its capture and ordering process as one of the most efficient in the industry. The system is designed so that students spend less time out of the classroom, reducing disruption to the learning schedule and the administrative burden on staff. Schools can choose to have photographs sent directly to the family home instead of managing them through the school.

Ordering is done through an online system that allows families to view, select and order photographs for delivery to their home. The company has its own print lab that uses quality processes, papers and inks and offers fast delivery times. It also includes staff headshots free of charge and integration with the school's information management system.

Catalogue, pricing and commission model

The product range is limited to prints and digital downloads, with no closed packages or confusing combinations. The catalogue allows you to purchase a single photograph and prints start from £6.99. The company states that its prices are the most competitive in its area, something it attributes to the use of current technology to edit, host, print and deliver images.

For educational settings, Memory Box offers a competitive and flexible commission model, presented as a way to support schools and early years centres. The company invites you to ask about the terms and how settings can benefit from having its services.

Complementary services for settings

In addition to school photography, the firm offers professional photography and video solutions, as well as photography services for websites and social media. These services are presented as additional support for schools and nurseries that need their own audiovisual material.
