School Picture Day Make up/Retakes
Background: Classic Black
Fine Art School Portraits are natural photographs that will become treasured keepsakes. We offer a boutique experience and authentic, soulful photos that capture your child's youth exactly as it is at that moment. Smiles may come naturally but we’ll also chat, joke, and play with the children to get real expressions. The experience is fun and light for the children, and online ordering makes the process easy for parents and schools.
Only children with prepaid sitting fee will be photographed
You’ll receive an online preview gallery within two weeks where you’ll download your prepaid digital photos, with option to purchase printed products

ORDERING DETAILS
Within two weeks of your child’s make up/retake day, you’ll be emailed the link to your proofing gallery. Each prepaid student, sibling, and sibling group will have their own album. There will be 2 or more “poses” in each album, in both color and black and white, for a total of 4 or more images. The ordering process is simple and secure. All orders are made from the preview gallery which is live for seven (7) days. You’ll download the all digital photos included in your sitting fee, plus have the option to purchase a la carte printed products.
STYLING
Parents, nearly anything goes for our Fine Art Portraits! Choose a style that works best for your child and family.
For classic portraits- avoid graphics, logos, words, and neon clothing. Solid colors or simple prints are best, and choose a color that you love with your child’s hair and skin-tone.
For personality portraits- choose clothes that represent your kiddo just as they are right now. Costumes, fancy dresses, giant hair-bows, sport-themed clothing, it’s all fantastic. Accessories are great and add to the fun!
We recommend avoiding clothing that matches the backdrop to prevent your child from blending into the background. Poses will include half-body and close-ups.
Style hair however you like. Feel free to be creative but simplicity is lovely as well.
Bonus tip: If you’d like to display your photos in your home, keep in mind accent colors that you may want to compliment. Consider the colors and style in the space where the photos will live and base your styling around that. This is completely optional of course!
Important: Check your child’s face for “crusties” :) Every kiddo (especially our younger ones) tends to have something around their eyes, nose, or mouth. A quick wash in the sink or with a baby wipe will do the trick.
Please note:
Retakes will not be offered for child’s wardrobe, hair, appearance, or temperament.
We don’t photograph crying kiddos. If a child is upset we’ll have a teacher or parent remove and comfort them, and we’ll try to photograph them again if time permits. This applies to siblings as well.
