Boutique School Photography Parent Guide
Hi There!
I am so excited to be returning to photograph the children at Primrose School at Liberty Park!
I just know you're going to love these genuine images of your precious little one! This page is designed to give you some helpful information to make your photo experience easy and convenient!
What makes this photography different?
My goal during my short time with your child is not to force a cheesy smile. I'm looking for natural expressions, which will range from serious and pensive to sweet and silly. The solid black background keeps the focus solely on the child's face and expression.
I will chat and interact with your child during our time together to elicit genuine expressions. For an extra fun time, have your child come prepared with a joke for ME! :)
What should my child wear?
These images are shot against a solid black backdrop.
**Tops that are light-colored or bright-colored are best. Please avoid tops that are dark, navy, or black, or ones that have large graphics, logos, or print. And please no neon colors!
For girls, small bows, headbands or barretts at the side of the head photograph better than large bows on top of the head.
Small details at the sleeves, neck, and collar photograph well for these sessions. You can also think about a top that makes your child's eye color pop! Consider allowing your child to select a favorite outfit within these parameters to capture even more of their personality!
When will my child be photographed?
Photos are scheduled for the following mornings:
Tuesday, February 18
Wednesday, February 19
Please check with your child’s teacher for your scheduled day!
i have more than one child at the school. can they be photographed together?
Yes! Siblings will be photographed by sign-up only. Please sign up at the bottom of this page!
The $20 session fee includes the session only. Digital images and prints may be purchased after receiving your gallery.
How do the sibling photos work?
Use the form below to sign up. Select any time slot available. You will bring your child to school like normal and do NOT need to be present for the photos. Children will be pulled from their class for photos when it is time.
**Babies must be sitting up independently to participate in a group sibling photo. All babies may be photographed individually.
Only siblings who have signed up in advance will be photographed together.
Do i need to sign up for my child to be photographed individually?
Nope! All children who attend the preschool will be photographed individually. The only sign-ups that are required are for siblings who will be photographed together. (Siblings are still photographed individually as well.)
I have other children who do not attend primrose. can i bring them to be photographed?
Yes! You will need to sign up below, and be sure to use the non-PSLP child add-on for this purpose! Each non-PSLP child has a $20 session fee.
Please note: all babies must be sitting up independently to participate in a group sibling photo. (All babies may be photographed individually.)
Sibling photos will only be taken when signed up in advance.
If all the children being photographed attend PSLP, select a time AFTER 8:30am. You will bring your child to school like normal and do NOT need to be present for the photos. Siblings will be pulled from their class for photos when it is time. You will not need to select an add-on.
If all the children being photographed do NOT attend PSLP, select a time BEFORE 8:30am. You will bring your children to the school at that particular time to be photographed together.
If you have a child who does not attend PSLP that you would like photographed individually along with the sibling photos, be sure to click the non-PSLP child add-on in the form below.
The $20 session fees are non-refundable and include only the session. Digital images and prints may be purchased after receiving your gallery.
When can I expect to see our photos?
Your child's proofs will arrive to your email via a private online gallery within 3 weeks of photo day. You will have 2-5 images in both color and black and white to select from.
Please be sure the school has a valid email address for you so you don’t miss seeing your child’s photos!
How does ordering work?
After you receive your online gallery, you will have 7 days to place your order. Everything is viewed, ordered, and paid online, so there are no paper order forms to keep up with. You will have the option to purchase prints, canvases, and digital images with printing rights.
Grandparents and other relatives may also place orders through the digital gallery!
One MORE thing . . .
Your child's privacy is important to me!
I occasionally like to post a sneak peek on social media from my photo day at a particular school or add new kids' photos to my website and marketing materials. If you would be willing to give me permission to include your child's photo (never any names) for these purposes, please complete the following release form. Thank you so much!
