Bay Area Family Photographe:r  Ellobelle Photography

I am so excited to photograph your children at Millbrae Nursery School. My goal is to create natural, joyful portraits that capture your child’s true personality exactly as they are. No forced smiles, no awkward poses, just genuine moments filled with laughter and light.

You can relax knowing your child is in good hands. These Millbrae Nursery School portraits by Ellobelle Photography are designed to feel fun, relaxed, and effortless for everyone.

Parent Prep Guide for Millbrae Nursery School

By Ellobelle Photography

Welcome Families

Millbrae Nursery School has chosen Lifestyle School Photography, which means portraits will be taken outdoors in natural light with warm tones and genuine smiles. Each image is created to feel timeless, heartfelt, and full of personality.

Instead of stiff poses or forced smiles, children are gently encouraged to be themselves. The result is authentic, joy-filled portraits that families will cherish for years to come.

On Picture Day, children will come to the portrait area with their class. Each child will spend about five minutes with me as we explore, play, and take photos. This relaxed approach helps capture real expressions and genuine moments.

Sessions are quick, easy, and designed to keep kids comfortable while making the experience fun and stress free.

What Is the Picture Day Schedule

  • 9:00 AM Student with Sibling Portraits begin
  • 10:00 AM Individual Portraits begin

On Picture Day, we will start at 9:00 AM with sibling portraits. Individual portraits will follow promptly after all sibling photos are complete. I will work closely with Millbrae Nursery School staff to organize students efficiently, so actual photo times may vary slightly.
Simple, comfortable clothing always photographs best. You do not need to buy anything new. Please choose something your child feels happy and confident in.
  • Choose solid colors or subtle patterns
  • Avoid large logos and bright neon tones
  • Soft textures and layers photograph beautifully such as dresses, skirts, flannels, collared shirts, jeans, or casual button ups
  • Most importantly, make sure your child feels comfortable and confident

As a mom, I understand how quickly these early years fly by. It is an honor to capture your child’s spirit and the joy of this special stage. Thank you for letting me be part of your school community.

I am a lifestyle and natural light photographer based in San Mateo County, serving families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in family, newborn, and maternity sessions that take place at home or outdoors, capturing genuine joy, connection, and beautifully candid moments.

Along with photography, I offer cinematic highlight films and professional videography to bring your story to life in motion.

My sessions are relaxed, authentic, and polished with gentle prompts and fun posing so you can simply enjoy being together while I document the love and energy that make your family unique.

I would love to stay connected and capture your next family milestone.
