Everything You Need To Know
For Fine Art School Portraits
with Stephanie George Photography
Welcome Students and Families!
As the owner of Stephanie George Photography, I am both excited and honored to work with your school again this year to provide fine art school portraits. I hope you will take a peek around my website to get to know me a little better.
I strive to provide a custom and boutique experience for parents and staff, and that starts with answering all your portrait day questions…

What makes fine art school portraits different?
I take the time to talk to each child and draw out what makes them unique.
My goal is to capture a gallery of authentic expressions and emotions rather than a posed, forced smile as expected with typical school photos.
More natural and artistic images of your child are sure to pull at the heartstrings and can be proudly displayed on the walls of your home for years to come.
What should my child wear?
Keep it simple! Portraits are generally from the chest up.
Solids, textures, layers, and small prints add interest without distracting from the main subject - your child.
Colors that flatter their skin tones or match/compliment their eyes.
Skip distracting logos or slogans. Classic is best!
Avoid solid black which can blend into the dark background.
Most importantly, don't stress! The main focus and what’s really going to shine is your child's personality.

Will we receive more than one image to choose from?
Yes, you know your child best! Each student gets an individual gallery (with a min. of five images to choose from in both color and b/w).
The number of images in each child’s gallery will vary depending on how comfortable and expressive they are in front of the camera.
Can’t decide on just one image? Don’t worry, your child’s full digital gallery is available for purchase and immediate download.
When will our photos be ready?
Within 2-3 weeks of portrait days you will receive a link to an online viewing gallery from your school. You can then select your favorite poses and order print packages, a la carte prints, canvases, and digital files.
Digitals will be delivered via email after purchase. Please download immediately upon receipt!
Approx. 2 weeks after ordering has closed, print products will be delivered to your school.

“Oh my goodness, I can’t even describe how much we love these photos and how much they mean to us. They literally brought tears to my husband’s eyes.”
