2024 School Photos
school photo galleries are ready!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph your child! I hope you love the photos as much as I loved taking them for you!
My goal was to capture each child's personality & genuine smiles, and the kids were wonderful! I was able to capture a few unique images of each child during their photo time. Some kids easily give me a variety of expressions while others are more reserved, and the number of photos in your child's gallery will reflect this.
To view your child's school photos, click on the button below. Once you enter, find your child's individual gallery. Siblings will be in the same folder, in their own albums. Ordering is simple! You can order prints, digitals, & products right from your gallery by clicking on the shopping cart icon in the upper right hand corner. All packages other than the Deluxe package are for a single image only.
Note: if you have two children and would like to purchase all the digitals for them including siblings photos, add all three "all digitals" packages to your cart and the total price will automatically be discounted to $150.
(Please note that while I try my best to capture great sibling photos, if one sibling is very young or did not want to have their photo taken, their sibling photo gallery may be limited.)
**ALL ORDERS ARE DUE BY TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1 AT MIDNIGHT!**
I order all prints at once to keep costs lower so print orders will not be available after this date.
Step 1: choosing outfits
The backdrop for this photo day will be gray. Please avoid outfits with busy patterns, large logos or graphics, and neon colors. Neutrals and more muted colors photograph best, and allow your adorable child's face to be the focus of their photos.
Step 2: what to expect
On picture day I'll spend a couple of minutes with each child, using fun prompts, jokes, and a bit of conversation to help them relax and feel comfortable so I can capture natural smiles and expressions.
Step 3: online ordering
About 10 days after picture day, you'll receive a link to your child's online gallery, featuring 3-5 images of your child in both color and black & white for you to choose from. You can order both prints and digitals directly through the gallery.
Print orders will be delivered to the school about a week after the order deadline, and digital files will be available for immediate download.
Can my kids get pictures with siblings?
Yes, I do offer sibling photos! If you have multiple children enrolled, I'll take sibling photos of them together, as well as individual photos of each child.
Sibling photos will be in their own album and will need to be purchased separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
what makes these school photos different?
These are the type of timeless, candid portraits you'll be proud to display in your home! I work hard at helping kids relax and feel at ease, so they can enjoy having their picture taken while showing off their natural expressions and personality.
what about privacy?
I am able to password protect individual galleries upon request. Please contact me before gallery delivery if you'd like to request password protection for your child's gallery.
I never use any image on my website or social media without your permission.

I do take class photos for preschool classes as well as K-12 classes. Class photos can purchased as prints only, in 5x7 and 8x10 sizes.
