School Personality Portraits in Memphis, TN
I provide a unique, personal, and professional experience to each family whose children attend the schools I work with.
My approach to school photography is unique in the sense it is natural, laid back, and individualized to each school. Unlike the typical commercially shot school photos we have grown accustomed to over the years, I do not use flashy backgrounds, themes, bright lights, unnatural posing, or forced smiles in my school portraits. My work is customized to the individual child in order to encapsulate who that child is and to capture his or her’s unique personality through artistic, high quality images.
My school personality portraits, as they are aptly named, are all about capturing the true personality of each child in front of my lens. I do not force children to smile for the camera or pose a certain way. I want each child to come exactly as they are and be nothing but themselves. I take careful consideration of each child’s demeanor by spending a few minutes with them in order to capture authentic expressions that encapsulate exactly who that child is. I make a point to keep the environment laid back so that the children do not feel pressured to act a particular way and can just be themselves.
FAQ
School Personality Portraits
WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
I am a complete online operation. Each family will receive a link to an online password-protected gallery that is organized by classroom or grade. Each child will have a minimum of 2 images in both color and black and white. The family can choose which photos they want and are able to purchase prints, boutique items such as canvases, or the digital files with a print release. A detailed document will be sent to the school to distribute to parents before photo day that will have all preparation and ordering instructions.
Prints are ordered straight from the online gallery and are delivered directly to the school within 1 month. I can provide the school with digital files to use for yearbooks, website, school advertising, IDs, etc.
I provide all equipment for photo day. I am a natural light photographer and do not use any artificial lights and very minimal gear. Each school has a choice of the black background or the white background as shown in the images above.
For children that are unable to stand or sit up without assistance, I will need their teacher to help assist me for their class. I will show them how to sit and hold their students so that I can get the portrait without the teacher being in the frame.
I will handle all communication with parents if they have any questions on ordering or products.
I will take class photos and/or teacher photos if needed. I am willing to work with schools to provide custom services that fit the schools needs.
WHAT AGES CAN YOU WORK WITH?
I have taken photos of children as young as 3 and 4 months to 18 years of age.
