Boutique School Photography
To book your school photo day...
I provide a custom, personalized experience, making the entire process easy for students, parents, teachers and school administrators alike.
Boutique school portraits are a modern approach to school photography. Gone are the days of strained smiles with odd backgrounds. My approach allows schools, day cares, homeschool co-ops, and other similar organizations to offer elegant, timeless portraits to their students and families.
The portraits themselves are simple, classic, and natural. Instead of forcing a cheesy grin, I encourage all the children to just be themselves. I never force a child to smile. I simply capture children as they are, delivering a variety of images of each child so that the families can order the poses and expressions they like best.
Hannah P.
The pictures you took at the school were so gorgeous! You must have done a good job of making my daughter feel comfortable.
Her pictures look exactly like she is!
Amanda F.
She was approachable and respectful to the children during the process. The final photos are beautiful! She quickly captured children’s unique personalities. Families are lucky to
have these candid and relaxed photos to cherish.
We had a wonderful time working with Laura!
Teresa M.
She photographed the dozens of students and teachers at our homeschool cooperative in spring 2023. She made posing easy, even for the most camera-shy children and adults. She worked efficiently and quickly and was able to photograph each class on schedule. At the same time, no one felt rushed. We will absolutely be using her services again.
Laura was a delight to work with!
Pavitra M.
She is so easy to work with and is flexible and accommodating. The teachers and parents were thrilled with the results. She put all the kids at ease
and was able to truly capture their personalities in these photographs. On top of all of that, she is so responsive and made sure to answer everyone’s questions immediately. You will be so lucky to have her as your family or school photographer.
She went above and beyond for all of us!
Kristin C.
The other teacher and I loved your photos! We really enjoyed working with you and hope you will return to the co-op in the future.
You truly captured each child!
I provide all equipment and personnel needed for photo day. Prior to photo day, I send each family all the information about how to best prepare and how the ordering process works.
Within two weeks from photo day, each family will be e-mailed the link to a gallery. There will be 2-5 images of each child. Images will be in both color and black and white. Families can then choose which photos they want to print. In addition to prints, I offer canvas wraps and digital files, all of which can be easily ordered from the private gallery. Prints and other products are delivered directly to the school within six weeks of photo day. I handle any questions from parents and families about ordering.
I donate 10% of my profits back to the school or I provide complimentary staff photos. I also provide the school with high resolution digital files to use for yearbooks.
I only work with a select number of schools and day cares.
I am willing to work with schools to provide custom services to fit unique needs. I limit the number of schools and organizations that I serve so that I can provide personalized customer service to each one.
The schools that hire me choose between outdoor and indoor portraits. If we take the portraits indoors, I will use a simple and classic backdrop in grey, black, or white. This results in portraits where the focus is on the students, rather than a distracting background.
Yes! I am more than happy to offer class photos.
I work with each individual school to schedule their photo days at any
point during the academic year.
I offer competitive rates and I do not charge schools anything; in fact, I typically donate 10% of my profits back to the schools! I offer a variety of products and collections to fit different family’s needs. Click here to see a spring 2025 pricing sheet (please note, prices are subject to change).
They're a time-honored way to capture children yearly. I am honored to provide the families whose children attend the schools I am serve with classic, timeless portraits for them to cherish for decades to come, while also giving back to the schools in my community. I am now booking schools for the 2025-26 school year. If you are interested in learning more about my boutique photography experience or scheduling your school’s photo day, please contact me.
