what is boutique school photography?
hope to provide a custom, boutique experience to the families attending your school. My service is personal and professional. Unlike large, corporate photography
operations, I only take a few, select schools in order to provide the very best customer experience and artistic images.
I never force a smile, but rather aim to capture the essence of the children I photograph. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are far from the traditional photos we have become accustomed to with bright flashes and unflattering backgrounds. I provide a fun experience for your children and take pride in providing an environment where kids can relax and be themselves.
services offered
work with schools to schedule photo day during the time of year that works best for them. After the children are photographed, I am a completely online operation.
Families are linked to password-protected online galleries. These galleries are set up according to grade, homeroom, advisory, or whatever grouping is best for the school. Each child will be provided 2-5 images, presented in both color and black and white. The families may choose the photos they want printed, as opposed to having the pose chosen for them. I also provide boutique product choices such as canvas gallery wraps and digital images for future printing. A detailed PDF describing all ordering procedures and shoot day preparation will be provided to each school to be distributed to families prior to photo day.

Are these images expensive?
What time of year do I conduct these Fine Art School Photo Shoots?
I have competitive rates and nothing is due up front. All profit is made from ordering. I offer a variety of collections and a-la-carte products to fit everyone's needs. I also donate 10% of my profits to the schools that I photograph!
I work with each individual school to schedule shoots at any time during the academic year.
