About Your Boutique School Portraits

Boutique school portraits offer the same services for elementary school as large photographer studios, but with a more personal and genuine level of service. I only take on a small selection of schools so that I can provide superior customer service and artistic images to both the school and families.

On this page, you will find information all about our boutique school portrait sessions, available packages and products, as well as resources on how to prepare for your photoshoot. Have a look around and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me!
