MODERN SCHOOL PORTRAITS
“Erielle began doing our school pictures two years ago and this has got to be the best decision our school could have made. No more boring bookshelf backdrops and acid washed purple backgrounds. Our children come alive. Scrolling through student photos is a beautiful breath of fresh air as their personalities radiate through every shot and every pose. I have no idea what she says to them to bring their joy to the surface before each shot, but Erielle captures it every time.”

Parents and schools LOVE these school photos. Why?
1. Families can choose their favorite image! Instead of the photographer deciding on the best image, parents get to choose which image represent their child’s personality! There is no money up front, and parents have the option of choosing one image or multiple images from a password-protected proofing gallery.
2. Because I am not a big-box, corporate company trying to get through thousands of quick snapshots every week, I can spend a little bit longer with each child, have a little fun, get a little goofy, and capture a genuine expression that is true to the child's personality.
3. Teachers do not collect from students; all transactions take place online through my website, including communication with parents. This allows your busy teachers to stay focused on your kiddos.
4. Having worked in schools for many years, I totally get kids. And I get schools. I know that many schools have a tightly-woven schedule that needs to stay as intact as possible. So I work closely with each school to make sure the experience is smooth and efficient for students and teachers.
How does it work?
I will create a custom website for your school with information about pricing, ordering, and Photo Day prep. The school sends the link to families so that they know exactly what to expect, and who they can get in touch with if they have any questions. I work carefully with a staff member or parent volunteer to set up a schedule for photo day.
On photo day, I spend about two or three minutes with each child to capture 2-6 fantastic images (maybe more if the child is totally rocking the session).
After the shoot, each parent can access their child’s proofs in a private, secure, online gallery. Families then order their prints and digitals directly from their galleries! Everything is online. This means forms won’t lost, kids won’t have to keep track of cash envelopes…. it’s totally digital and seamless.
Prints and products will be delivered to the school so that families do not need to pay for shipping.
Upon request, staff photos and class photos can be taken. A complimentary 5x7 print of the class photo will be included in each print package for students and staff. If needed, I provide the school with high resolution files for yearbooks, websites, marketing, IDs, etc.
“The photo you took of our daughter last year is one of our most prized possessions.”
