Timeless images that capture a child’s unique personality, benefit schools, and provide artistic quality at school portrait prices
Do school photos have to have busy blue backgrounds with deer-in-the-headlights lighting? Instead, what if you could have something that celebrated their milestones, yet was timeless, classic, and beautiful? If you are paying a professional photographer for your child’s images, wouldn’t you want photos worthy of displaying on your walls?
Our boutique fine art school photography provides a kind and encouraging environment that allows children to relax and be themselves. Photos are taken against a neutral backdrop with flattering lighting.
Moreover, there is no cost to the school, and parents pay nothing up front. Families receive online galleries with different options to order. They can choose which image or images to order, instead of one image selected by the photographer.
We take great pride in providing a better level of personal service than the large corporations. In addition, we love children! We think they can tell we like them too. They deserve an experience where they can relax, be themselves, and stand in front of a photographer who is smiling at them.
We specialize in preschool photography.
Yes! Depending on your class structure, we can take group photos or create composites.
Young children have short attention spans, and we understand you will not want to cut into education time. We do take a bit longer than the few seconds most school photographers take, but generally not longer than 1-2 minutes per child. We work hard to be a calm and encouraging presence, and that takes a little more time. But we believe those few extra seconds will show, and your parents will be thrilled with the results.
We present parents with an online gallery of a variety of images, generally 2 to 5, in both color and black-and-white. Some children will be a little more reserved, while others will show a variety of expressions, so some children’s galleries may have more images.
To keep things simple and environmentally friendly, we handle all orders online. Your school will have a private, custom website page that explains the entire process step by step for your parents. We also receive all payments online so that schools are not handling order forms and checks. We keep things as streamlined and simple as possible for my schools.
Our rates are competitive with large chains and administrators receive a price list before signing up. We do not require payment up front before picture day. Parents will have the option of purchasing a variety of prints and/or digital images. We will never pressure parents to make a purchase, but your families will be so grateful to have multiple images to choose from, the ability to choose all their options after the images are presented to them, and a classic look and quality that they don’t usually expect from “school photos“.
We photograph schools in Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, and Prince William Counties. We will occasionally travel outside these counties for a fee.
