School portraits don’t need to be stressful, complicated, or filled with forced smiles. My approach is designed to make picture day simple for schools and joyful for families, while delivering portraits with patience, warmth, and a documentary eye that helps capture each child naturally.
A Calm, Kid-Centered Approach
I’ve worked with children in many different capacities throughout my life, and I love weaving that experience into my photography. On picture day, I meet kids where they are and create portraits that reflect authentic expressions and a sense of who each child really is.
A Parent-Friendly System
Every family receives a private online gallery with 3–5 final images of their child. Parents can view the portraits before ordering, and they only purchase what they truly love. There are no sitting fees, no order minimums, and no pre-set packages. The a la carte system makes it easy for each family to create the combination that best fits their needs, whether that’s one digital download, a set of prints for relatives, or larger framed artwork.
Direct Ordering and Fast Delivery
Ordering happens directly through each child’s gallery. Digital downloads arrive instantly, and prints or products are shipped straight to the family’s home from my professional lab. This system ensures excellent quality and fast turnaround, without requiring the school to manage orders or distribute prints.
I partner with professional labs that specialize in heirloom-quality products. Families can trust that their portraits will be produced with accurate color, durable materials, and craftsmanship designed to last.
Easy for Schools, Joyful for Families
My process is designed to reduce work for schools while creating a positive experience for families:
- Private galleries for each student
- Class photos included as a free digital download for all families
- Automatic reminder emails so no one misses their ordering window
With everything handled online, schools don’t need to track money, manage forms, or distribute photos. Families receive their portraits directly, quickly, and with minimal effort from the school.
“I feel so grateful that we found you! Working with you was such a pleasure and all of the photos really captured each child’s soul. I hope to see you again next year. Thanks Rebecca!”

Ready to Partner
I love collaborating with schools that value portraits which feel natural and child-centered. If your school is looking for a simpler process and authentic images, I’d be glad to connect and share more about how we can work together.
