I bet you are asking your self what are Simply Modern School Portraits? Well they are a fresh, thoughtful take on traditional school photography. If you’ve ever cringed at busy backdrops, harsh flashes, or those painfully forced smiles, you’re not alone. My approach strips all of that away so what’s left is what truly matters: your child.
By keeping the setup simple and distraction-free, I’m able to create portraits that feel genuine and timeless. I never ask children to “say cheese” or force a smile. Instead, I take time to interact with them in a relaxed, natural way, allowing them to settle in and be themselves. From there, the magic happens. I capture a range of real expressions, joyful laughter, quiet thoughtfulness, curiosity, even a little shyness. Every child is different, and their portraits should reflect that.
I aim to provide a truly custom experience for both schools and families. I intentionally work with only a select number of schools so I can offer a level of service and attention that larger, corporate photography companies simply can’t.
While my approach is personal, I still provide all the services schools expect from a professional school photographer. Everything is handled online for convenience and efficiency. Families receive access to private, password-protected galleries, thoughtfully organized by grade, classroom, or whatever grouping works best for each school.
Unlike traditional school photography, families are not locked into preselected poses or packages. Parents are free to choose exactly which images they want to print, order prints a la carte, or opt for digital images only. No pressure, no pre-orders, just flexibility.
My pricing is competitive and designed to be parent-friendly. There is no upfront cost required from families. All ordering happens after parents view their child’s gallery. I offer a la carte pricing, though packages can be made available at a school’s request. A full price list is always available upon inquiry.
