A great Picture Day begins with a well planned experience.
Picture Day should feel easy for your staff and enjoyable for your students.
I thoughtfully plan and manage every step, from scheduling and parent communication to portrait day and gallery delivery, so your team can stay focused on your students.
Years from now, I hope your families not only love their children's portraits, but also remember how smoothly the entire experience came together.
"This was our first year working with Ellen for Picture Day, and we couldn't be happier. The photos were beautiful, parents loved the results, and she's fantastic to work with. We highly recommend her."
— Marisol R.
How it works
Inquire
Contact me to tell me about your school. If we're a good fit, I'll schedule a school visit to plan the best portrait location and Picture Day logistics.
Picture Day
I arrive with everything needed and photograph each class efficiently, keeping the day organized and minimizing classroom disruption.
Gallery
Within two weeks, families receive a private online gallery where they can purchase digital images and prints.
Plan
I'll provide parent communication materials and coordinate the Picture Day schedule with your team so everything is ready before photo day.
