SCHOOL PHOTOS
Until recently, school photos have been ... well, cringe-worthy. Dated looking backgrounds, forced smiles, harsh flashes and fake props. But they don't have to be that way any longer!
Fine Art School Portraits are a modern twist to a classic photo. I take a fresh approach to school photos with a simple and timeless background. I offer a relaxed and fun interaction with students so that I can capture those authentic expressions that parents love. This is a boutique service that I offer to a select number of schools each year.
My rates are competitive and it costs the school nothing to hire me. In fact, I donate a percentage of my profits to the school. This is my way of giving back to the community and education of our children.
What services do you offer?
I provide a complete online viewing and ordering experience. Families will receive a secure link to their student's gallery where they can pick and choose from a variety of printed or digital photos to fit their needs and budgets.
Each student will receive a gallery of 2-5 different images presented in both color and black and white.
No money is due up-front and there is no obligation to purchase. Once families view their galleries, they can purchase print collections, a la carte prints, or high resolution digital files.
All orders are placed online and delivered directly to the school.
In order to simplify things for the school, I bring all my own equipment and handle all questions from parents about ordering and products. On photo day, all I need from the school is a small space to set up and a window!
When is the best time to schedule?
I work with each school to schedule Fine Art Portrait Sessions anytime of the year. Most schools choose to offer these in the fall or spring. They can be your exclusive school photos or a supplement to your existing school photography. Retakes are offered for students who were ill or out on picture day. The school and I will decide on retake day together to ensure the least disruption for students.
How can we get started?
If you are a school looking for more information or to set picture day dates, you may contact me here or email me at jessica@jessicariderphotography.com.
If you are a parent interested in bringing boutique school photography to your child's school, please connect me with your school's director or send them here to my website so they can review my services and get in touch.
