Personality of Every Child

Fine art school photography for Northern Virginia schools.

Timeless portraits. An effortless experience for schools. Images that families will treasure for years to come.

Children don't need to be told how to smile or forced into awkward poses. The most meaningful portraits come when they're simply allowed to be themselves.

MY APPROACH

an effortless school picture day experience

Picture Day 

Staff Headshots



Class Portraits




Family Communication





— Now booking Fall '26 and Spring '27. 

In the weeks leading up to your school's Picture Day, I'll visit the school to determine the best locations for the portraits, and go over any final details together. Families receive my Guide to Fine Art School Portraits which includes everything they need to prepare for Picture Day, how to place their orders, exactly what to expect, and how to contact me with any questions, leaving your school free to simply enjoy the experience!

Every school, receives an 8 x 10" print of each class portrait along with the digital file to use for yearbooks or marketing purposes, or to display within the school!

Whether they are needed for your website, school directory or marketing plans, staff headshots are always included.

From gallery access and ordering questions to product recommendations, families are able to communicate directly with me, so that there's nothing extra for your team to manage.

"Not only are her pictures breathtaking, she is well organized and helped provide us with everything we needed before and after our picture day.  The students loved her and really warmed to her, you can tell that through the quality of the photos!"
