Are you tired of the big chain studios providing one mediocre photo of your little ones? Do you hate committing to buying photos before they're even photographed?
Instead of assembly line portraits, I offer each child a "tiny-session" – a 3 to 5 minute portrait shoot where I actually talk to them and try to get genuine smiles! I have two boys of my own, so I am well-versed in kid shows, song lyrics, and potty humor.
In the case where a child isn't cooperative or cries, we will give him or her another try in a bit, not just snap a photo and move on.
My assistant and I will come to your school and will spend a few minutes getting each child to warm up and give natural smiles. Each subject gets 3+ poses: a full-length photo, a close-up, and one on a colorful background. If your facility has an outdoor courtyard or a spot you'd like to do photos, we can do that instead of backgrounds.
If any siblings attend the same school, they are also photographed together. Each age group or class can be photographed on chairs in the classroom for class photos alongside their teachers, or I can provide a montage with a portrait of each child and their teachers with the school name, logo, and year on it.
Photos will be available online for ordering within a week. Parents will receive an email with a link to view just the photos their children are in and can place orders for digital images or prints. Digital images will be available for download as soon as the purchase is complete, and prints will be ordered from a professional lab.
Bulk print ordering, which includes free shipping, is open for 2-3 weeks. After bulk ordering closes, prints will be ordered and delivered to the school within 3 days. They will arrive together in separate envelopes for the teachers to disperse. After that date, print orders are still accepted, but a $6.95 shipping fee is applied to each order, and prints are mailed directly to the address provided during checkout.

There is no cost to the school for the photo session, but there is a 20-child minimum for bulk school pricing. Print sheets are $15 each and can be 8x10 or a combination of 5x7's, 4x5's, and 2x3 wallet-sized photos. High-resolution digital files are $25 for one, or $20 each for multiple digital images.
Several novelty items like keychains and ornaments are also offered.
