Fine Art School Portraits
School Portraits with Personality.
Your child is awesome, their school portraits should be too!
Welcome to the future of school photography. I work with schools to provide parents with natural, honest, and modern school portraits of their children.
Fine Art School Photography is a customized, personal, and memorable approach to school photography in Victoria, BC which aims to provide a more meaningful experience for parents, students, and schools alike.
Your Fine Art School Portrait Experience
01
Before School Picture day
We’ll schedule your school’s picture day and I’ll meet with you on site to determine the best location within your school to capture your students.
I’ll also send you handouts for your school to use to remind parents that picture day is coming up.
02
School Portrait Day
I’ll spend 1-2 minutes with each child, talking to them, making jokes to bring out their most authentic natural expressions.
Parents will receive a private link to their gallery within two weeks of school picture day for them to view and order their child’s school photos. Ordering remains open for seven days.
03
Enjoy Your Fine Art School Portraits
Digital orders are delivered immediately via email and print orders are delivered to the school within 4-6 weeks after the ordering deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ How is this photography different?
It’s my goal during my short time with each child to capture a variety of expressions and conjure authenticity. I aim to artistically capture each child’s "real" — who they are in that very moment. I use a neutral backdrop to keep the focus solely about your child's personality.
+ What clothing should children wear for Fine Art School Portraits?
These images are framed shoulder up against a neutral backdrop. Tops that are light-coloured or bright-coloured work beautifully. Details at the sleeves, neck, and collar photograph well for these sessions. Colours that match eyes also work really well. Letting your child select their favourite outfit that falls within these guidelines will capture even more of their personality! * For best results, it's best to avoid large logos, hoodies, sweatshirts, solid black tops, and neon colours.*
+ When will parents view their photos & what is the ordering process?
Student gallery links for proofing and ordering will arrive within two weeks of photo day. Galleries are open for one week to place orders. Ordering options include prints and digital images with printing rights.
+ What if a parent misses the ordering deadline?
After ordering closes, only digital image ordering options are available to order for one month after the ordering deadline. Prints, including the class photo prints, will no longer be available for purchase after the ordering deadline. There is a gallery reactivation charge of $10.
+ What quality are the prints?
Prints are professionally printed on studio lustre paper for a vibrant finish.
+ When will I receive my order?
Digital orders will be sent to you at time order. Print orders, including printed class photo orders, will be delivered to your child’s school 4-6 weeks after the order deadline is reached.
+ How much do the print and digital packages cost?
Print and digital packages start at $45 + tax. A la carte prints start at $25 + tax.
+ My child has a scrape, bruise, or blemish on their face for photo day that isn’t normally there. Will you retouch it?
Minor retouching is provided upon purchase, when requested. Please contact me after you have placed your order with your order reference number. Please note that braces cannot be removed from your child's image(s).
