Fine Art School Portraits

High quality School Picture Day photos that show the child’s genuine personality

School Picture Day doesn’t have to be so unnatural.

I believe in creating beautiful portraits that document this precious time in your child’s life. This results in timeless fine art portraits that show off your child’s genuine personality.

What is Boutique School Photography?

My goal is to provide a custom, boutique experience to each family while streamlining the flow of Picture Day to make it as easy as possible on the school. I offer a personal and professional service that is unlike large, corporate photography operations. I only take on a few, select schools each year so I can provide superior customer service and high quality artistic portraits.

I never force a smile from a child but instead aim to photograph their personality as they are. My approach is truly “child lead” where I aim to photograph genuine expressions. You’ll never see any awkward poses, simply the authentic child. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are far from the cheesy photos we’ve become accustomed to with busy, unnatural backdrops. I provide a fun and carefree experience for your child during picture day. I take pride in creating an environment where kids can relax and be themselves.

What services do you offer?

After Picture Day happens, everything else is done online. Families are linked to a private (non-searchable) online ordering gallery. The gallery is organized by grade, homeroom, class or whichever grouping your school uses. Each child will have 2 to 6 edited photos in their ordering gallery. The family may choose to order prints of their child along with boutique product options such as Canvas Prints. You’ll find the option to purchase digital photos as well for future printing and archiving. A detailed PDF and infomational video describing all ordering procedures for Picture Day and how to order online will be provided to the school for distribution to families prior to Picture Day.

Benefits:

  • School Picture Day can be used as a fundraiser for the school - I donate 10% of the proceeds from print sales back to the school.

  • Prints are ordered online and shipped directly to the student’s home (or location of buyer’s choice).

  • I provide all equipment needed for Picture Day.

  • I handle any questions from parents about retouching and ordering.

  • I take staff photos and provide the digital photos of staff for the school to use as they like.

  • I take class photos or create a collage (see example HERE).

  • I am willing to work with schools to provide custom services that fit your unique needs.

  • I have provided this service to schools as small as 60 and am ready to work with schools with as many as 500 children. I have worked with kids ages 1-18 in my boutique photography business.

  • I see this as a fundraiser for the school so there are no upfront costs. All profit is made from print sales after picture day. Parents will have a variety of print package along with a-la-carte options when ordering their prints. In an effort to help raise funds for the school, I donate 10% of the proceeds from print sales back to the school.

  • I want all families to have the opportunity to purchase their child’s photo so they can remember this stage in their child’s life. My rates are competitive and reasonable. View my current Price Sheet for School Picture Day HERE

  • I work with each individual school to schedule their Picture Day any time during the academic school year.

  • Prior to picture day, I’ll visit you at your school to scout our options for where to set up for Picture Day. I’m comfortable setting up indoors or outdoors. Preferably a spot where we’ll have some privacy so the kiddos aren’t easily distracted during their photos.
