Modern School Portraiture

Elevated, Natural, and Thoughtfully Created

A Refined Approach to Picture Day

School portraits can be efficient without feeling impersonal.

With 15 years of professional photography experience — spanning weddings, families, commercial campaigns, and institutional work — I bring a calm, highly organized presence to school photography. Every detail is intentional. Every student is treated with patience and respect.

The result is portraiture that feels natural, polished, and timeless.

They are:

• Natural, unforced expressions
• Clean, modern compositions
• Consistent, professional editing
• A restrained and timeless aesthetic

Families receive a small, curated set of refined digital images — not an overwhelming gallery, not gimmicky backgrounds, not disposable photography.

Just beautifully made portraits of their children.

These are not assembly-line portraits.

Professional Experience, Institutional Understanding

I currently create imagery for:

  • Camellia Waldorf School

  • Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm

  • Sacramento Waldorf School

My work for these schools focuses on website, marketing, and brand storytelling — photography that represents the heart of a community.

In addition, I have produced high-volume pop-up portrait sessions at:

  • Pottery Barn Kids

  • Janie and Jack

  • Birthing centers in San Francisco and Silicon Valley

These environments require efficiency, warmth, and confidence. Children are photographed quickly and comfortably, without compromising quality.

While I have not previously offered formal school portrait days, the structure is straightforward compared to the dynamic environments I regularly manage. The logistics are simple, and the standard of imagery remains high.

The Picture Day Experience

The setup is streamlined, minimal, and beautifully executed.

• A single station featuring three curated natural backdrops
• Organic fibers and tonal textures
• Soft, consistent lighting
• A brief, relaxed session for each student
• Six carefully edited digital portraits delivered to families

The aesthetic is cohesive. The process is smooth. Classroom disruption is minimal.Our office is conveniently located in Manhattan. A place to gather, grow, and reconnect.

A Seamless Model for Schools

This is a parent-pay structure.

• No financial obligation for the school
• Private online galleries delivered directly to families
• Optional fundraising percentage available
• Staff portraits and marketing imagery can be incorporated

Everything is managed professionally and efficiently, allowing administrators to remain focused on their day.
