What Are Fine Art School portraits?

A simple, modern portrait designed to capture authentic expressions. No “say cheese” here. I strive to create an atmosphere that is relaxing and fun, then by simply engaging with each child with conversation, a joke or maybe even a song I elicit a genuine expression . This method of photography allows for natural expressions to be captured in a portrait that is timeless.

What do we need to achieve Fine Art School Portraits at our school?

I generally ask for one parent volunteer if possible to shuttle kids back and forth from their classroom. I use natural light only and like to take photos near a window or outside in a shaded area. I bring everything else I need. It is up to the school to choose between a white or black background. There is no fee to the school for this photography service. All income is generated from print and/or digital sales.

How Do parents access their child’s photo gallery?

At the conclusion of my time photographing the kids at school I edit all the best images and load them into an online gallery. Each child usually has 5-10 photos, sometimes more in their gallery. The gallery is usually ready to send out to parents 3-4 weeks after photos are taken. At this time parents are able to purchase prints or digital copies of their childs photos
