Fine art portraits for schools is a beautifully simple approach to school photo day. After you read this blog, you’ll learn why this style of school photography may be the right fit for your next school photo day!

Do you remember getting school photos when you were a kid? The big flash, turquoise background, cheesy smiles, and getting your photos back and feeling a little meh about them? I am likely dating myself with the flash back of photo day but I think most adults can agree-they were not very flattering. However, there is a new way to approach your children’s photos. They will love it as much as you will.

What is fine art portraits for schools?

Just a simple backdrop with your child in front of it using natural light.

Kids are asked what their favorite food is or what they love most about school. Thus, it gives kids something to focus on other than being photographed by someone they just met and creates an environment that allows for genuine smiles. In addition, they will enjoy the experience and look forward to it again. Children are photographed for a few minutes, so it’s quick and easy process so they can move on with their day.

How does it work?

I bring all of the equipment needed for that day. I just need one window for natural light and a place to set up a backdrop. Moreover, I provide all information for schools to send to parents about ordering process and what to expect. I strive to make it a seamless process for schools, parents, and your kids.

Your family will have a full online school photography experience with a password protected gallery. All orders are online and personally delivered to your school.  There is no minimum order required and no cost to book my services. 

I provide all equipment for photo day and information for the school to send to families.  All profits are from orders and I donate 10% of gross profits back to the school. 

Are fine art portraits expensive?

I have competitive rates and offer a variety of collections and a la carte items to fit every families needs. Click here for full price sheet. Also, each order will receive a complimentary 5 x 7 class photo.

Why fine art portraits over traditional school photos?

I have been honored to take thousands of photos of kids from newborns to teens. I’m Vancouver Washington family photographer with many years of experience working with families.

I am a mother of two young children. Therefore, I understand how important photos are of your kids and how they appreciate being photographed in a natural way.

I never ask kids to do anything they are not having fun with. Whether they are outgoing or shy, I love capturing who they really are. I believe kids can be photographed with or with out looking at the camera and it will result in beautiful photos. Hence, capturing the essence of who they really are now.

How do I get more information?

I am so excited for the opportunity to possibly work with your school and kids! Contact me and we can chat about your schools needs.
