Revolutionising School Photography

Organisation = Quick Turnaround Times = Happy Parents

At Leisure Lane, we pride ourselves on an organisational system that ensures a swift and efficient photography process. Our paperless workflow eliminates the need for pre-orders, reducing administrative burdens on schools and childcare centres.

Remember when photographers would show up, the kids would line up and snap one photo of each child with just a paper checklist to go by?

And then things get a bit chaotic, as they do when photographing dozens or hundreds of kids per day, and you have to check if little Suzie was smiling...

You when the photographer is scrolling back through hundreds of photos repeatedly asking "is this Suzue?" "Is this Suzie?" "is this Suzie?"

I'm happy to tell you this is something you don't need to deal with anymore!

We shoot connected to laptops meaning all subjects are named and filed as we shoot so we (and you) can see the images as we go.

No more wondering if we got a smile from little Suzie or hoping we didn't miss Johnny when he decided to hide from the teachers - We can see every shot we've taken and it's all neatly organised by name and room.
Because of this and our attention to detail, while setting up and shooting, photos are ready within weeks, not months.

Our streamlined approach means that parents see their child's photos in weeks, not months. By focusing on a quick turnaround, we keep parents happy and eager to share their child's special moments. Plus, with options like free school delivery for orders placed by the "cut-off" date, we make the entire process as smooth as possible.

Streamlined Paperless Workflow

Our streamlined paperless workflow is at the heart of what makes Leisure Lane a standout School and kindy photography company in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. By embracing digital efficiency, we've eliminated the need for cumbersome paper forms and order envelopes, reducing the stress for parents and schools alike. This modern approach allows us to focus on capturing authentic moments without the hassle of pre-orders.

Schools can use our secure admin portal to upload their roles directly to our system and because there is no pre-payment necessary from parents that means there is no last-minute panic from parents that they have missed a deadline.

Unlinke traditional school photographers who will choose one photo of each child who pre-paid, we take photos of all the students and parents receive access to private, online galleries, allowing them to view multiple photos of their child before deciding which ones to purchase. This means parents can choose the photos that best capture their child's unique personality, making the whole experience more personal and satisfying (there are not many services now where you still have to pay before you see what you will get...)

Parents can simply browse their child’s photos via private online galleries, selecting their favourites at their leisure. Offering both digital downloads and prints, this system ensures flexibility and convenience. Schools benefit too, as there's no need to handle payments or chase up orders—everything is managed online.

This method not only speeds up the process but also enhances the overall experience, ensuring that photography day is enjoyable and stress-free for everyone involved.

No More Pre-Orders to Chase Up!

Gone are the days when schools and childcare centres had to juggle pre-orders for photography. At Leisure Lane, we have simplified the process by removing the need for upfront payments altogether. This means no more chasing after envelopes of cash or stressing over missed deadlines for parents. Instead, we offer a hassle-free experience where parents can browse and choose from a selection of photos before making any purchase.

This flexibility not only takes the pressure off families but also frees up valuable time for school staff who would otherwise be bogged down with financial admin tasks. By shifting to a post-photography selection model, we ensure that everyone gets exactly what they want without the initial commitment. It's a win-win situation for schools, parents, and, most importantly, the children.
