Welcome Bennett Day School Families!

these portraits will be different…

You may be used to cheesy photos taken on a green screen with a crazy background added afterwards...

You may be used to your child looking stiff and uncomfortable...

You may be used to forced smiles...

I don't believe in any of that

My school portraits are simple, modern, timeless.

The focus is on your sweet child and I aim to capture just them...their shyness, their silliness, their strength, their joy.

All portraits are taken against a solid backdrop.  They are shot artistically close, from the shoulders up, so the focus is squarely on your child's face and their emotions.  I suggest children wear bright colors (not neon), and have details like collars, ties, ruffles, etc around the shoulders.  Steer clear of athletic wear,  clothes with large logos, or very dark colors.

It is my goal for these portraits to be a simple reflection of who your child is

For this reason, no two galleries will be the same.  I aim to provide 3-5 images of each child, in both color and black & white.  Some children are very shy and slow to warm up, so they may have only 3 images.  Other children are quick to engage and may offer a wide variety of facial expressions, so their galleries may be larger.

Please trust me when I say that the images you receive are the best, and most varied images that I have of your child.  I don't keep any of the best ones for myself!
