Portrait Photos 2007

PUTTING WINFORD VILLAGE PRE-SCHOOL IN THE PICTURE

The Chew Valley community "clicked" last week when Winford Pre-School children turned supermodels for a day in their latest intiative to raise funds for their new class room, to be built on the grounds of Winford CE Primary School.

Thanks to local children’s portrait photographer (and pre-school Mum) Clare Potter and Bristol’s IKEA store, who teamed-up for the special day, the pre-school were able to sell framed photos of their dinky divas with all proceeds going to wards the New Building Fund.

Sarah Morris spokesperson for IKEA Bristol explained: "As a store we are keen to support local children and schools. We believe children deserve the best and were delighted our range of frames helped complete the photo shoot and ensured all the children had a memento of their modelling session.”

Over twenty children modelled on the day, with the weather allowing for all the shots to be taken in the pre-school garden. A change from the usual school photo, photographer Clare Potter captured natural, black and white images.

Pam Sayer, Winford Pre-School’s public relations rep said: "This was a great way of exposing our need to continue to raise more money to ensure the pre school children in the village get their new classroom. Clare completely captured their personalities and we captured the parents’ hearts as they all donated to our campaign".
