WHAT IS BOUTIQUE SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY?
My number one priority is to capture beautiful, AUTHENTIC images of the children I work with. I never force a smile and simply aim to capture the essence of the children I photograph. No awkward poses, faces, or props. The results are genuine, timeless portraits that are a significant departure from the bright flashes, busy backgrounds, and cheesy smiles we have become accustomed to in school pictures. My goal is a light and fun experience for your children, and I take pride in providing an environment where the kids can relax and let their personalities shine!
I offer personal yet professional service to every school I work with. Unlike large, corporate photography operations, I only take on a few, select schools so that I can provide superior customer service and artistic images.
WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
I handle all proofing and ordering online. Families are linked to password-protected, online ordering galleries. Each child will be provided 2-5 images, presented in both color and black and white. Families choose which images they would like to print, as opposed to having a pose chosen for them. I also provide boutique product choices such as canvas gallery wraps and digital images for future printing, archiving, and use on social media. A detailed PDF describing all ordering procedures and shooting day preparation will be provided to each school for distribution to families prior to photo day.
Prints are ordered online and delivered directy to the school.
I provide all equipment and personnel needed for photo day.
I provide the school with all high resolution digital files for use in yearbooks and school advertising, and on websites and school ID's.
I handle any questions from parents and families about ordering and products.
I take staff photos and deliver these as high resolution digital files for use by the school at no charge.
I include one free 5x7 class photo with every order.
I am willing to work with schools to provide custom services that fit your unique needs.
HOW MANY STUDENTS CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE?
I have provided this service to schools as small as 24 and am ready to work with schools with as many as 500 children. I have photographed kids ages 1-18 in my previous work.
ARE THESE IMAGES EXPENSIVE?
I have competitive rates and nothing is due up front, all of my profit comes from family ordering. I offer a variety of collections and a-la-carte products to fit each family's individual needs. I also donate 10% of my gross profits to the schools that I photograph!
WHAT TIME OF YEAR DO YOU CONDUCT THESE FINE ART SCHOOL PHOTO SHOOTS?
I work with each individual school to schedule shoots any time during the academic year.
