This is not your typical school photo.

no “cheese” necessary.

Because parents deserve the real thing.

Gone are the days of forced smiles and cheesy props. Instead, I aim to capture the very thing that makes each kid UNIQUE. I create a fun and light experience for my subjects which allows them to feel more themselves. The result is often a very genuine, honest portrait- complete with giggles and personality.

For Schools

How does this work?

I aim to make the entire process easy and stress free. Other than picture day, the process is entirely online. I handle all orders online, and all questions from parents about online ordering and products.

Prior to photo day, each family will receive a web link with detailed instructions on ordering and shoot day prep.

Picture Day!

I provide all necessary equipment on picture day. I will use either a simple studio setup inside or a covered outdoor space or room with a large window to utilize natural light to get beautiful, simplistic portraits. A parent volunteer or staff member is helpful to have on hand to keep the kids looking their best (faces wiped and hair fixed) while they wait for their photos.

I spend 1-2 minutes with each child, in whatever order of classes makes sense for the school. I understand the importance of minimizing disruption to their class time, so I work hard to get the children back to the classroom as quickly as possible.

In addition to individual student photos, I also offer images of siblings that attend the same school as well as staff photos.

Ordering

All families will be provided with their own private online ordering gallery. Galleries are organized by grade, classroom or whichever works best for the school. There will be 2-8 images of each child for parents to choose from. All products will be professionally packaged and delivered to the school *(organized by grade or classroom) in 3 weeks from final order date.

Scheduling

My services are available throughout the academic school year so I am available for your best time frame. I will only take on a small number of schools per year in order to ensure the best attention for each one.

Expense

Even though I aim to deliver not-so-typical school portraits filled with personality, my packages are still very competitive to the more corporate photography companies. I offer a variety of affordable packages as well as high resolution digital images. There is absolutely no purchase necessary. Feel free to take a look at my sample school photo pricing here.
