Welcome Students and Families!
I am so excited 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?
Authentic expressions rather than forced smiles as expected with typical school photos. See my favorite poses.
Time to talk to each child and notice what makes them unique.
Natural and artistic images that pull at the heartstrings and can be proudly displayed in your home.
Classic black background so all the focus is on your child.
What should my child wear?
Keep it simple! Portraits are generally from the chest up.
Solids, textures, layers, and small prints (add interest but keep the focus on their face).
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?
Yes! Each student gets an individual gallery (with a min. of five images in both color and b/w). The number of images in each child’s gallery depends on how comfortable and expressive they are in front of the camera.
Can’t decide on just one? Full digital galleries are available for purchase and immediate download.
How/When do we order?
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 digital files, print packages, and a la carte items.
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.”
-E. Anderson

Interested in a family photo session?
From family sessions to school portraits, I always approach photographing you and your loved ones with the same goal - to capture authentic moments of connection to be cherished for a lifetime.
Wondering if I’m the right photographer for you? I provide prompts and guidance so you always know what to do during your session and aren’t left feeling awkward in front of the camera. Why lifestyle family photos are perfect for your family.
