Seattle Fine Art School Portraits

A boutique school photography experience with Stephanie George.

Is your school looking for an elevated school portrait experience that is organized and straight-forward for faculty and staff, makes parents happy, and is fun for students? You are in the right place.

Professional, organized, and responsive school portrait photography services so your school can focus on teaching.

After 8+ years photographing schools, I have tried and true systems keeping busy work to a minimum for the schools I work with.

  • Direct, one-on-one communication - I will be your school’s direct contact, no frustrations dealing with multiple people.

  • Correspondence with parents - If parents have questions during or after ordering, they are encouraged to reach out to me directly.

  • Pre-written parent communication - Email templates are provided so schools can deliver information to parents easily and efficiently. Each school is provided with a private landing page for parents with picture day information and tips on making the day a success.

  • Online ordering - Viewing and ordering are done online in a private viewing gallery with individual albums for each child so parents can preview their child’s portraits before ordering - no more paper ordering packets to get wrinkled in backpacks or lost on the way home!

Fine Art School Portraits in Kirkland WA capturing authentic expressions

Seattle school portraits parents display with pride.

School portraits have been a tradition since the early 1900s, honoring the yearly milestone of each grade. However, school portraits don’t have to be stiff or cookie-cutter. Stephanie offers modern portraits that honor the individual, capturing unique personality and individuality.

  • Portraits are taken on a timeless black backdrop so each child stands out as art.

  • Rather than just one image, parents receive a viewing gallery with a minimum of 5-7 portraits in both color and black and white so they can choose the poses that reflect their child best.

  • Portraits are offered in a variety of print products, including enlarged prints, canvases, wallets, and magnets.

  • If parents can’t choose a favorite, single and full digital album downloads are available.

A fun and engaging experience for students bringing out authentic personality.

Big box companies have one goal in mind, get through picture day quickly! Instead, Stephanie takes time with each child and has a fun and relaxed approach to bring out students’ authentic personalities.

  • Some children take a little extra time to warm up in front of the camera. I work with each student and adapt to their individual needs.

  • With an established workflow, I am able to capture a variety of poses and evoke multiple expressions in a time efficient manner.

  • Ultimately, I believe picture day should be a fun and memorable experience for students, leaving them looking forward to their next picture day!
