Fine Art School Portraits

A much needed modern take on school pictures

Potrero Canyon School Photos!

Ellis Photography offers schools a new way to spice up traditional school portraits.

My goal is to provide parents with an updated and timeless representation of their children.

I aim to capture the essence of the child in front of the camera. I will not force a child to smile. I will not awkwardly pose them or ask them to make faces. I want an authentic photo of the child that reflects their personality exactly as they are. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are very different from the traditional cheesy photos we are used to seeing. I provide a fun experience for your children and take pride in providing an environment where kids can relax and be themselves.

School Photography FAQ

WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

I offer photos online to families in a gallery where they can choose what types of photos they would like to download or which prints they would like to purchase. The galleries are set up by class and are password-protected. Each student will have anywhere from 2-5 images in color and in black and white. I also offer photos with siblings for families as well.

Prints are ordered online and delivered directly to the school within four weeks of picture day. 

I handle any questions from parents and families about ordering and products.

I take staff and class photos depending on the school’s needs.

I am willing to work with schools to provide custom services that fit your unique needs.

ARE THESE IMAGES EXPENSIVE?

I have competitive rates to the big corporations and nothing is due up front, all profit is made from ordering. I offer a variety of collections and a-la-carte products to fit everyone's needs. Click here to see a sample pricing guide (*please note, prices are subject to change). 

I donate 10% of profits back to the school!

WHAT TIME OF YEAR DO YOU CONDUCT THESE FINE ART SCHOOL PHOTO SHOOTS?
