School Portrait Day

Simple. Natural. Meaningful.

This year’s school portraits will be intentionally simple and relaxed.

Using beautiful natural light and a clean white backdrop.

I’ll be capturing honest, personality-driven portraits of each child.

The focus is simply your child, just as they are in this season.

PICTURE DAY: March 17, 2026

Sign up to receive your child’s portrait gallery

Sign up once and I will be email you when your child’s portraits are ready to be viewed.

Galleries will be delivered 1-2 weeks from School Portrait Day.

What Makes This Different

Portrait day will feel calm and unrushed.

My goal is to capture each child’s personality and will gently guide them into natural expressions.

Some will laugh, some will be thoughtful, some will be playful __ all of it is welcome.

The result is portraits that feel not only beautiful, but meaningful.

These portraits are:

  • clean and timeless

  • personality-focused

  • softly guided, never forced

  • designed to be beautiful keepsakes

The simple white backdrop keeps everything uncluttered, so your child’s personality shines through.

What to Expect

I do my best to make my sessions calm and unrushed. I will take my time with each child and make sure they are comfortable so they can relax and be themselves in front of the camera. No forced smiles or stiff poses. This results in images that are authentic, capturing each child as they are.

After portraits are complete, families will receive a private online gallery with three thoughtfully edited portraits (both in color and black and white) of their child.

From your gallery, you will be able to:

  • choose your favorite images

  • order professional archival prints

  • download images if you prefer

Orders are placed online and will be delivered to the school.

You only purchase the images you love.

What to Wear

Because portraits will be photographed on a clean white backdrop, simple clothing works best.

Soft, neutral colors photograph beautifully and help keep the focus on your child’s expression.

Great options include:

  • cream, beige, soft gray

  • muted blues, sage, or dusty pink

  • simple textures like linen, knits, or cotton

    If possible, please avoid:

  • large logos or graphics

  • very bright neon colors

  • busy patterns

Simple clothing allows your child’s personality to shine and creates portraits that feel timeless.

If your child wears a school uniform, that is perfectly welcome as well.

Investment
