TESTIMONIALS

"Claire worked for DBIS for 8 years during which she was always professional and inspiring. Our school photos changed from the usual annual portraits to treasured reflections of our students, capturing their characters and personalities. Claire had a way of getting the best out of every child, tween and young adult - even the shy ones. I would highly recommend Claire and her photography."

– Alison Wyatt - Discovery Bay International School

"Claire has worked with us over the last 2 years to take our Sports, Class and Individual Photos. She has been great to work with, liaising closely with the school prior to her arrival to ensure that the timetable will work for staff. I am especially impressed with Claire’s patience and professional attitude when working with students who have additional needs. The end product is high quality photos with a modern feel, and happy relaxed looking students."

– Kirsten Bell - Tahatai Coast School

"Claire Fraser has worked with Discovery College since 2013. As part of a 22 school network, our photos are always the envy of the other schools. Claire’s expert lighting coupled with a white background allows focus to be 100% on the student and gives a clean, modern feel. Her natural ability to bring out the best in each and every child makes the very challenging process of shooting a high volume of individuals much easier. On the back end, Claire’s mastery of Photoshop and attention to the smallest details ensures that photos are crisp and clear with perfect colour. I am always confident that we are going to get nothing but the best photos from Claire and have never been disappointed."

"Oropi School changed up school photos this year and worked with Claire Fraser Photography. The children look relaxed and happy in their photos, and we love the crisp white background (gone are the mottled backgrounds that look like they came from the 80's). Claire and the assistant were super organised and a pleasure to deal with. The photos look great uploaded into our SMS and our families will be pleased to have a modern look for school photos this year."

– Kylie McHannigan - Oropi School
