Modern School Portraits
Welcome to something new, something fresh.
Modern School portraits.
Modern school portraits are a simple take on classic school photos. I focus on natural expressions, clean backgrounds, and timeless edits that let each child’s personality shine. Sessions are quick, stress-free, and designed for preschools and Montessori programs that want beautiful images without the chaos.
A little glimpse at the timeless style families always love.
Where simplicity meets personality.
“I believe school portraits should feel authentic, calm, and beautifully timeless.”
Fine art school portraits offer a refreshing alternative to the rushed, overly posed photos most families are used to. These sessions keep things simple so kids can relax and just be themselves. The result is a gallery of natural, expressive images that parents actually want to display, and a smooth, stress-free experience for schools from start to finish.

How it works
Designed With Schools and Families in Mind
A modern approach that saves time and delivers photos families truly want.
Offered several times a year
Schools can choose spring, fall, both and for special occasions such as sports and graduation. Each season or occasion comes with fresh neutral background options that fit the time of year.
Fast turnaround
Galleries are delivered within one week so families are not waiting months for their images.
Direct to family delivery
Parents receive their galleries straight to their inbox and can order prints, downloads, and packages with only a few clicks.
Affordable options for every family
Packages include full digital galleries, single images, and print selections so each family can choose what works best for them.
Class composites included
Each class receives a beautifully designed composite photo for the school to keep and share.
Simple photo day setup
We photograph children by class, keeping the flow calm, quick, and comfortable. Sessions are laid back so kids can relax and show their real personalities.
Hands off for your staff
We use GotPhoto to handle everything including ordering, payments, parent communication, and gallery delivery. Your team stays completely out of the process. No collecting money, no sorting orders, no extra work.
BONUS FOR YOUR STAFF
Teacher headshots are included at no cost and can be used freely on your website, social media, newsletters, and marketing materials.
CAN WE SEE A FULL GALLERY?
For the protection and privacy of the children I photograph, full galleries from schools are never shared publicly. I take child safety very seriously and only display images that parents have given explicit permission to use. The photos in my portfolio above and sample child gallery below represent the true style and quality you can expect for your school.
Sample Child Gallery
Color images are thoughtfully finished with deep, balanced tones and soft contrast. The goal is a rich, dimensional look that feels natural, classic, and never over-processed.
Each image is also provided in classic black and white, thoughtfully finished with soft highlights and gentle contrast for a timeless, refined look.
Available backdrops
Backdrop images shown are stock photos for reference only. Actual colors and textures may vary slightly due to lighting, fabric, and screen settings.

Let’s Make Photo Day Simple and Beautiful
Booking is easy. Once your school is ready, I’ll send over a simple agreement and select your preferred season. From there we choose your background style, set a photo day schedule, and I provide all communication pieces for parents and staff. Everything is handled through GotPhoto so your team stays hands off. When photo day arrives, I take care of the entire process from start to finish and deliver galleries within one week. It’s organized, stress free, and designed to make your school look its best.
