I use a blue/grey backdrop for all school photos. Whether indoors or outdoors, the backdrop will be the same.

For most locations, yes we are outdoors! I find a good shade structure, set up my backdrop, harness the beautiful natural light, and am ready to photograph. There will be a flash added for 2024.

There are a few dates at the PCA Library in Poway where I will be indoors. I will still use a backdrop and will add professional lighting with a flash.

I love to gather all your kids into one group photo after I take individual photos. You don’t have to sign up or pay me to take it. You will have a chance to purchase the digital image or prints when you see the gallery of photos.

For students - choose the package that includes the student ID card. You can also purchase it separately for any student for $10. For parents, you can order a Learning Coach ID card from this webpage. Just enter your info, upload your own photo, and pay for your card.

Feeling confident and comfortable in clothing is key for a great photo. Help kids choose tops that fit their personality and make them feel good.

Bright colors look great on the grey/blue backdrop. All white, busy patterns, and logos can be distracting.

Get a haircut now if it's needed rather than waiting until the day before photo day.

Glasses can be worn but let me know if you would like your child photographed with or without glasses. I will remove glare with editing any image that you purchase.

Yes you can pay on photo day. I accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and credit card payments.

You can also pay when you book the appointment or on your reminder emails.

You can reschedule or cancel your appointment any time before the photoshoot. I will give you a full refund. No refunds given after the student is photographed.
