school Personality portraits

My goal is to provide an alternative to classic school photography. My aim is to capture the essence of each child that I meet. We will avoid awkward poses and smiles. You will see your authentic child, captured in that particular moment.

I create a natural comfortable experience for your child

You'll notice that I use a black backdrop, to highlight the student's unique qualities. We will use natural light from a window, with no flashes or busy backgrounds. The setting already creates a natural experience for your child, and our interaction will be relaxed and fun to let your child present their authentic self.

My service is personal and professional

You will be dealing directly with me, the photographer. Unlike corporate photography operations, I am invested in creating artistic images and providing excellent customer service. You will receive an efficient service, with professional photography packages, with online ordering, and products will be delivered directly to your school.

Photos are for ALL children

If your child has a disability, sensory or attentional differences, or any special need, I'd love to discuss with you the best way to take their photo. Having worked as a Speech Language Pathologist for over two decades, I enjoy the opportunity to find ways to connect with children. Let's capture your child in a way that suits them best.
