Boutique School Portraits
if you've always wanted gorgeous, completely not-cheesy, totally honest portraits of your kids,
you're in luck.
Boutique School Portrait sessions are short and sweet, so kids have a fun experience, and parents can get on with the rest of their day.
Each session is designed to help your child relax and be themselves, so they don’t mind (and even look forward to) coming back year after year.
Want a quick tip for ensuring your child relaxes during their session? Have them prepare a joke for me. This flips the roles, and puts them in charge. Children who come with a joke in hand often can’t wait to get started, and inevitably, aren’t able resist a grin as they execute their punchline!

Ugly blue backgrounds and cutesy props make way for classic, modern portraits.
Sessions are captured on a solid black background so the sole focus is your child. These timeless, artistic portraits can be proudly enlarged and displayed in your home, because the art is your child.
All images in your gallery are not only provided in color but also black & white. Color images give a sense of warmth and remind you what it was like to kiss those precious cheeks, but there is something about the removal of color that allows a person’s physical features to come through.
FAQs
What is Boutique School Portraits?
I don’t know about you, but I was never a fan of the stiffly posed and forced smile images my children brought home from school picture day. Weird backdrops and random props felt cheesy and never represented my kid. This is a new kind of school portrait. By encouraging each child to simply be themselves, I'm able to create captivating portraits that families will want to hang on their walls, not assembly line photos they feel obligated to buy. I never force a smile and simply aim to capture the essence of the children I photograph. There are no awkward poses or props and I use natural lighting. The results are genuine, timeless portraits that are far from the traditional cheesy photos to which we've become accustomed.
When and where will these be held?
These will be held on Thursday, October 17th.
What is the cost and what does it include?
In 2-4 weeks, you will receive a private online gallery with 3-5 edited images, each in color and b/w. You will have a full week to view the gallery and purchase your photos. There is no obligation to buy. My school photo prices are competitive and comparable to larger big box companies. I offer a variety of collections, prints, digitals and a-la-carte products to fit everyone’s needs. Some families spend $25, some spend $200 or more, it is up to you!
Can I bring my brother or sister?
Yes! If you have more than one child, please book the appropriate number of back-to-back time slots. We can try to get a sibling portrait if there is time. The space and time constraints cannot accommodate more than two (max 3) siblings for a sibling portrait.
What to wear?
While your child’s personality will be the focus of these portraits, what your child wears can enhance and bring life to their portraits. Just like good lighting flatters the skin, well-chosen clothing can highlight your child’s features and help them look their best. You almost can’t go wrong with matching or complimenting your child’s eye color. Working with a component of a person’s natural coloring always enhances and even draws attention to their inherent beauty. Let’s help those eyes - “pop”! When choosing shirt colors go with darker jewel tones, neutrals, or soft pastels. Denim/chambray and peach tones look good on almost everyone. In general, I recommend avoiding solid white (too contrasty) or black (blends with the background). Neons should also be avoided as vibrant colors can cast color on the skin. Additionally, shirts with logos, words and or cartoon characters are distracting and do not photo well.
