Boutique SCHOOL Photos

HOW DOES IT WORK?

I bring my portable studio to the school grounds, and set it up as close as possible to the classroom.

Liaising directly with the classroom teacher, at an appropriate time during the school day, I photograph each child in that class, one-by-one.

Portraits are then uploaded to a password protected online gallery for families to view and order.

Processed orders are then delivered to school for the children to take home.

Print and digital packages start at $35

WHAT DOES IT COST?

There is no obligation to purchase.

There is no minimum order.

Purchases are made only after the images have been viewed.

BUT WE ALREADY HAVE CONTRACTED SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHERS!

This is not a problem as it is not my intention to REPLACE your traditional school photographer.

I see our work as being very different, and COMPLEMENTARY rather than in COMPETITION with each other.

How are we different?

-  I offer black and white portraits only

-  I shoot close cropped, head and shoulders

-  I spend time and effort with every child to elicit a range of genuine facial expressions.  Some laugh, some stand stoic and pensive, some bounce and cackle. But every child I photograph gives me something of themself.

- I offer a special product that is not provided by traditional volume photographers.  The CLASS PHOTOBOOK has become a treasured keepsake for many families at the school I have photographed for the past 4 years.

On one page is a tightly framed image, and on the other, their handwritten responses to a series of questions about their life at this point in time.

Every child in the class who is photographed is included in the book.

They are priceless memories for you to keep forever, for only $45 per book.
