Boutique school photography is unique in that it goes beyond the traditional cheesy school portraits. Those school portraits that we all grew up with taken with a flash and a stiff smile in front of a distracting background. In an effort to move beyond those traditional images and provide quality classic + timeless images that parents will be proud to display in their homes is why love to offer Simply Modern School Portraits as a Dallas school photographer.
Simply Modern School Portraits is different in many ways but here are a few significant ways that set us apart from traditional school portrait companies.
1. A simple black school portrait background brings the focus to your child.
A simple black background provides a classic and timeless portrait that will not change with the trends. These portraits allow the focus to be on your child and your child alone. Children photographed on these backgrounds year after year have a beautiful collection of images that showcase how they have changed over the years. Keeping the focus on the child in the main goal of my school portrait business. It should be all about them! In addition, this classic background allows you to display and gorgeous wall collection showing your children as they grow and change throughout the years.
2. A variety of school portrait images in color and black and white the showcase your child’s personality.
I never force a child to smile for the camera and my goal is to get a variety of expressions from happy, to silly to serious allowing parents to remember all of the beauty of this season of life. My goal is to make your child feel comfortable and trust me. This is done through lots of conversations and asking them about all of their favorite things. I work with a variety of ages and have lots of age-appropriate material to bring out all of the smiles, giggles and serious expressions of each child.
3. High-quality school portrait products that go beyond the traditional prints.
Simply Monder School Portraits wants you, the parent, to walk away with the perfect final product to fit your needs. In addition to traditional school portrait prints, we offer deep matte prints, digital files, and canvas products. All of these images are printed on professional high-quality paper from a professional lab. In every school, I photograph the parents comment on how impressed they are with the quality of the products over traditional school portrait companies.
If your school or child’s school already has a traditional photographer that you are working with then that’s great! This school portrait experience is a great compliment to those traditional portraits and I have many schools that are doing this in addition to their standard offering. Schools that offer Simply Modern School Portraits in the fall provide parents with great opportunities for holiday gifts for the family. Spring sessions are perfect for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Graduation gifts.
If you would like to chat more about getting set up for your child’s school please feel free to contact me. As a thank you, I do offer complimentary school portraits to any parent who refers me to a school and a booking occurs. Thank you for trusting me with your memories!
