Boutique school Portraits

saint louis, Missouri

My goal is to provide a custom experience for all families at the school. I aim to photograph each child in front of my camera in an authentic way. I will not force children to smile or sit in awkward poses. My goal is to capture images of the children for who they are, right at this moment—no cheesy smiles, no expectations—just a real honest portrait on photo day.

WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

I am based completely online and there is minimal work for the schools. Families are linked to a password-protected online gallery for proofs and ordering within about 2 weeks after the shoot. Galleries are set up according to grade level and/or class. Each child will be provided with 2-5 images in their own album. The family may chose the photos they prefer—I will not select a pose for them. After viewing the gallery, families have the option to purchase digital images and/or print products right through the gallery interface.

Detailed information describing the ordering procedures and shooting day preparation will be provided. I ask that each school distribute communication from me to their families prior to photo day and again to let them know the galleries are ready. If there are any questions from the families, they can contact me directly.

All orders are made through the online galleries. There are no proofs or order forms for teachers to distribute or collect at school. Prints are ordered online and will be delivered directly to the school within four weeks of picture day. (Barring any COVID-19 related delays!) I ask that teachers assist by distributing any print orders to their students to take home.

I will provide all equipment needed for photo day, I just ask that I have access to the school a few weeks before picture day so I can scout out some locations.

I will handle all questions from your families regarding the shoot, ordering and products. School staff will not need to field inquiries from families.

I will be happy to take staff photos if needed, and I will gladly work with your school to provide custom services for your specific situation.

ARE THE IMAGES EXPENSIVE?

I have competitive pricing and nothing is due up front. All profits are made from orders. I offer a variety of collections and a la carte products to fit every need. CLICK HERE to view a sample price sheet*.
