After the photos are taken, all images are shared through an online viewing and ordering platform. Each child will have 3-6 different images/expressions captured and shared in a private online gallery. Images are delivered in both color and black & white. Families get to choose which images(s) they want to order instead of the “best” image being chosen for you. Orders for physical prints, or digital files, are placed online and delivered straight to the school for pick up.
Fine Art School Portraits by Caeli Richter Photography is a modern approach to traditional school photography that captures the unique personality of each child. I spend time with each child to make sure they are comfortable in front of the camera, and to learn what makes them smile and share their personality. I use a plain white background and photographs in natural light. By not forcing smiles or poses, this allows for spontaneous moments and natural expressions.
Even though the fine art school portrait experience is high end, my prices are not! I have competitive rates that are competitive with the big box companies. There is no payment due up front, and families choose exactly what they want to purchase after seeing the images, not before.
I offer a variety of different packages and a-la-carte products to fit everyone's needs. Physical prints and digital files are available.
What are Fine Art School Portraits?
This sounds expensive. Is it expensive?
How is this different from the “Picture Day” experience we had growing up?
I work with each individual school to schedule any time during the academic year that works for everyone. Some schools offer the traditional fall school photos, and others prefer the spring. I have been seeing an increase in preschools offering photos in both the fall and spring which is so fun since we know just how much little kids change over the course of a year!
If you are a parent, teacher or school administrator looking for more information, or to discuss dates to bring fine art school portraits to you community, please contact me here.
What time of year do you offer fine art school portraits?
So how do I get this in my school?
What kind of schools does this work for?
I work with schools of all sizes and levels! I have experience photographing children from birth through high school.
My goal of Fine Art School Portraits is to capture the authentic personality of the children in front of my camera. I will never force a smile, add props or have laser beams in the background. The results are genuine and timeless portraits.
