It’s not often that you get to take school website photos in Westminster Abbey! But that’s just what I got to do as part of a 3 day shoot for Westminster School. They were looking to update their school prospectus photos along with images they use in other media so I got to see the inside workings of one of the most prestigious schools in the UK. The pupils here get to walk in the footsteps of former Prime Ministers and walk across the school yard in the shadow of the Houses of Parliament. Monday mornings are spent in Westminster Abbey – not many pupils get to do that. Working in conjunction with Design agency, Maxx Design , we managed to provide over 500 natural, candid photographs of the students and teachers going about their everyday life. If your school needs website photos or prospectus photos, click here for more information about how I can help you.
On a beautiful, sunny Autumn day, Kings College School Wimbledon hosted their annual Remembrance Day Parade and I had the privilege to photograph it. With pupils past and present, the names of ex Kings College students who fell in battle were read out. Wreaths were laid at the memorial from the Headmaster and staff, the cadet forces and The Old Kings Club. Then under a bright blue sky, one of the pupils signified a minute’s silence by playing The Last Post on the bugle. For more information on event photos, please click here .
The perfect combination of when I use my background in marketing, my skill set of photographing children and working with businesses comes when I get asked to work with schools. This is usually for their website and prospectus photos, but also sometimes for building up a library of images to use for PR purposes, advertising and newsletters to parents. I did just that recently when I had the pleasure of spending two afternoons at beautiful Daneshill Prep School in rural Hampshire. It is a gorgeous family run school and the children were a joy to photograph. The weather was amazing and we had fun while the children did pond dipping, working with I-pads, playing cricket at break and some of the older children did kayaking at sailing. Here are just a few images from my time there – if you need to update your school website and prospectus photos, please get in touch with me on pennie@photosbypennie.co.uk .

This blog provides my top property photography tips and how property photography can help to grow your business.
You're the best Interior Designer in the area, right? Or you're the most experienced builder/property developer in the Thames Valley? But why should anyone believe you? How do you prove to them that you create beautiful spaces from tired, old homes. Or that you can totally change the layout of a house and turn it from an old-fashioned, cramped space into something that is more functional, light and airy? Well - you show them your work - using beautiful, professional photographs as proof of the fantastic jobs that you carry out day in, day out. Perhaps you are transforming a house using a modern colour palette and stylish furniture? Like Nicola Scannell from Nicola Scannell Design who did this at a family home in Henley on Thames? (Please see below for Before and After photos which really show the transformation.) Or maybe you are transforming a family home to add extra bedrooms and open plan space? Or creating a new home from scratch? Whatever the job, it's always a really good exercise to get some case studies together of your best work to showcase what you can do for potential clients. Sometimes that means before, during and after photos to really show the transformation. Or sometimes it's just 'after' photos to show off your craftsmanship and the beautiful space that you have created. But don't just take my word for it........it's no secret that featuring great images on your website can significantly improve your conversion rate. In fact, a case study by VWO , found that simply changing an image to a real life example on a webpage increased conversions by over 40% . So - why not get in touch to find out about my case study packages - prices start from as little as £375 for before and after photos which can be used across all of your marketing collateral. Here are some more examples of photos I have taken for various Interior Designers, property developers and builders: https://photosbypennie.pixieset.com/interiorsgallery/ I look forward to hearing from you.
