Welcome to a new style of school portraits, Fine Art School Portraits.

Fine Art School Portraits provide fresh and classic portraits with a boutique ordering experience. I use a classic dark grey background and have fun interactions with the children. No cheesy backgrounds and props. By removing distracting elements the focus is on the child. The result is an artistic and classic school portrait worthy of hanging on a wall.

Fine art school portraits are an approach to school photography with a focus on creating images that reveal the magnificence and uniqueness of the child. I provide a fun and unique experience for your children, creating real moments, eliciting genuine emotion from children, and delivering a product of exceptional quality.

I stay away from the word ‘cheese’ and do not believe in forcing a smile. Instead, I look for real and natural expressions resulting in authentic, natural, modern images. Genuine smiles, a funny laugh, a serious face – your child’s personality will be captured as they are in a timeless fashion. The process is easy going and there’s no pressure along the way.

Thank you so much for the marvelous pictures of Parker! I’m not sure what kind of photographer voodoo you used to get him to smile so big, but we couldn’t believe the smiles he gave you! We love these so much and are beyond thrilled with the change to your photography services for our school pictures!

~ Lauren
Thank you so much for the FANTASTIC photos! Zoe hasn’t gotten school pictures during the last THREE picture days at Primrose because she was too upset and crying, but you managed to get shots of her that were even better than we could have hoped for!
~ Jazmine
Thank you! We saw the photos last night and they are adorable- you did a fantastic job capturing the girl’s personalities.
~ Sarah
The photos are gorgeous and each one captured one of her “looks.”

Thank you so much for the gorgeous photos! I always have a hard time with Waylon smiling for the camera and I wasn’t sure what to expect from this. I was amazed!

Gone are the days of cringy school portraits!

THIS is what modern school portraits can look like.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to answer any questions for schools that are looking for a new photographer to offer school portraits for their families. I would love to chat with you to discuss your needs and what I can offer for your families.

I’d say generally 4-5 weeks, depending on the size of your school. If photos are taken in week 1, they are individually edited and online about a week or so after. Parents have about a week to order their prints. After the galleries close, prints are ordered and delivered to the school after they are inspected and packaged.

Anytime actually. I setup inside so I am not dependent on the weather.

Yes, I have structured my program as a fundraiser for your school, 10% of my net proceeds are donated to your school at the end of ordering.

We will create a custom schedule to meet your school’s needs. Many preschools/daycares have children who attend part-time. This is no problem. I will work with your school to create a schedule to capture the maximum number of children.

I will never force a child to have their photo taken. From experience with the help of teachers, I’ve always been able to get 1 or 2 shots. There might be some singing, begging. silliness, but no fording kids, ever.

All orders and payments will be done through a secure site and will be operated 100% online.

Ordering is simple and always optional.

Each child’s family will be provided with 2-5 poses and color corrected proofs in color and black and white (4-10 images total).

I offer digital files that can be downloaded immediately after purchase and several professional print packages in addition to à la carte products. 

There is no cost to the school for photo day; all profit is made from orders. My pricing is competitive, with a variety of options, in other words, there will be options to accommodate all parents.

I have over 10 years of experience as a portrait photographer, I have photographed hundreds of kids. Besides this, I worked as a daycare teacher for 7 years.

We work together to make sure parents are well informed about Photo Days. Initial information regarding photo days will be sent to parents via the school. Parents can always contact me directly for any questions about ordering and products.
