School Portraits in Northern Virginia

My primary goal is to provide your school with a personalized boutique experience in school photography. You have the option to do outdoor lifestyle school photos or indoor fine art school photos.  I aim to provide all your family’s school photos that they will cherish for years to come.

You will be provided a service that is both personal & professional.  The goal is to capture authentic photos that are true to the child.  The photos will not be the cheesy school photos with awful backgrounds that the big box corporate photography operations provide.  The children will be provided with a fun experience that will allow them to express themselves.

SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ

WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

I am a licensed and insured photographer that will come to your school with all the equipment needed to take your students’ portraits.

You will first choose your desired photo style, outdoor lifestyle school photos or indoor fine art school photos.

A detailed set of instructions for picture day preparation, gallery viewing, and ordering procedures are provided to the school for distribution to families in advance of photo day.

After picture day, the operation is completely done online, until the portraits are delivered.

Families are given a link to password-protected photo galleries for online ordering.  There are approximately 5 images in both color and black and white for each child.  Families get to choose what photos they would like to purchase for print or digital download.  I also offer canvas gallery wraps and retouching services upon request.

Prints that have been ordered online will be delivered within four weeks of picture day.

 

WHO HANDLES PARENT QUESTIONS ABOUT ORDERING?

I will handle all questions families may have about ordering and products delivered.

DO YOU OFFER SIBLING PHOTOS?

I offer sibling photos for schools smaller than 60 students.  

ARE THE IMAGES EXPENSIVE?

My print and digital image services are extremely competitive with other school photography services.  The goal is to provide quality photos at affordable prices.  Nothing is due upfront and there is no charge to the school for the photography services.  If you would like a price list please contact me using the form below.

 

WHAT TIME OF YEAR DO YOU CONDUCT SCHOOL PHOTOS?

I work with each school to determine a photo day that works anytime during the academic year.

DOES BOOKING SCHOOL PHOTOS WITH YOU BENEFIT THE SCHOOL?

Yes!  I take headshot photos free of charge for teachers and staff!

COVID PRECAUTIONS

I take my client’s safety very seriously.  I am fully vaccinated and  I will always wear a mask.  I bring camera gear and lenses that allow me to remain 6ft or more from the children and I will remain hands-off.  I have run successful school portrait sessions during the fall of 2020 with no issues.
