Denver Boutique School Portraits

 fresh + fun approach to school photography

Gone are the images of fake backdrops and props! I am thrilled to offer fresh and authentic boutique school portraits in the Denver metro area.

I seek out a location on the property that is beautiful, yet uncluttered so that the focus remains on the child.  Since I am a not affiliated with a large corporation, I am able to spend a bit more time with each child. This allows the child’s personality to SHINE!

I have two young boys of my own and realize the importance of freezing this fleeting time. My goal of our session will be to capture genuine expression and let the kids be themselves!

 


I have been photographing children professionally for 10 years (you can read a bit more about me here) and have seen it all from kids. But don’t worry- have a few tricks up my sleeves to capture their authentic selves (and nope, I will NOT be asking anyone to say “cheese”). The images you will receive in the proofing gallery is will be a reflection of who they were in the small amount of time on portrait day so the image proofs may show a silly, serious, happy, fun or stoic side. I am excited to capture their authentic self in that moment.

Tips for making the most of your child’s school portrait:

  • Feel free to share with your child that I will be taking their photo that day, but refrain from putting too much pressure on having a perfect image.
  • Consider letting your child help pick out their clothes for the picture- this can help get them a bit excited. Bright colors and fun prints typically translate well in images.
  • I have a few strategies to engage with children and asking them to say “cheese” is NOT one of them. No need to instruct your child to do so when I meet them.
  • If the parent is present around the time of pictures, I typically ask that they are out of eyesight to help prevent the child from being distracted.

What to expect after picture day

  •  3 weeks after our session you will receive an email from me with the online gallery and instructions.  Depending on the package you purchased, you will either choose 2 or 4 images for download in high resolution format. You will have the option to purchase prints via the professional printer linked to the gallery but you also have the option to print on your own through a consumer print lab.

I look forward to meeting your little ones!
