Fine Art School Portraits in Northern Virginia

Welcome!
It is a true honor to have the opportunity to provide your school with Fine Art School Portraits. It is my goal to provide a better and more personalized experience for all the families who have chosen me to photograph their children at the school.

Here you will find all the information you need about the picture day at your school.

What is a Fine Art School Portrait?

I provide a new approach to school photography.  Fine Art School Portraits are a timeless + modern approach to school photos. It’s time to say goodbye to uncomfortable smiles against a strange background. I only take a few schools per year to allow me to provide your families with high quality artistic portraits and personal customer service.

No more awkward poses.  No more boring or really weird backgrounds. No more inconsistent lighting. No more having a single portrait chosen and offered to you, and no more being forced to purchase print packages that don’t fit your needs.

A black or white background will be used for the photos, and they will be simple, timeless and classic.  

My goal  to provide the children with a fun and relaxed experience.  There is nothing worse than a fake and forced smile from your child.  I am here to capture your child’s honest, raw, and real expressions, emotions, and feelings. The children will be encouraged to be themselves and showcase their personality.

FAQ + ORDERING INFORMATION

What is included in the per child fee?
I strive to keep my sessions affordable by offering digital images, and never forcing parents to choose from expensive predetermined print packages. You will receive all images (2-5 images per child) via an online image gallery. Images will be delivered in both their colored and black & white versions, high resolution. You will have the option to download all images in their various forms (included with your photoshoot). You will also have the option to purchase prints and printed material directly through your online gallery.

What should my child wear?
All portraits are taken from shoulder up.  Solid colors are very flattering. It is best to avoid graphics or neon clothing. Regardless with what your child is wearing, it is important that your child is comfortable.

Are siblings welcome?
Siblings are welcome! Please feel free to bring siblings along for portraits together and alone. There is no additional charge to have a single sibling group portrait taken.

How will I order printed material?
Within two weeks of your child’s photo day, you will be e-mailed the link to an online gallery. There will be 2-8 images of each child. Images will be in color and black & white, high resolution and web size. You will be able to order prints, canvas wraps, and other printed products directly from your online gallery. The ordering process is simple and secure.  I do not choose which photos you print, you do.

ONCE YOUR SCHOOLS GALLERY IS ONLINE, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL WITH A DIRECT LINK AND PASSWORD TO ACCESS THE GALLERY.

The gallery will be live for two weeks.
ALL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED IN THAT TWO WEEK PERIOD.

Additionally, you have the option to download any & all images from your online gallery. They are yours and included in the session fee. You can then take those digital images and print them at the photo processing lab of your choice.
