Colorful space, controlled results.
This portrait was photographed indoors in the school play area, using the existing mural as a vibrant backdrop. The bold florals add energy and context, while shallow depth of field keeps the focus exactly where it belongs. His expression is sharp, skin tones are natural, and the busy background is softened just enough to feel intentional instead of distracting.
School environments are rarely neutral, which is why lighting and lens choice matter. I balance available light with professional equipment to maintain consistency, even in bright, graphic spaces like this. The result feels authentic to the school while still polished and cohesive.
All preschool sessions are photographed on location at schools throughout Chester County, the Main Line, and the greater Philadelphia area. Families receive a small gallery of finished images, and retouching is always included.
