School Portrait Fundraisers
They're Only This Little for a Little While
The Process is Simple
1. The preschool director schedules dates with me (Elise).
2. I send a form (or email) to let parents know about picture day, and they sign up.
3. I lovingly photograph the children (with the help of associate photographers, when necessary).
4. Parents order images from a private online gallery, and the images are quickly shipped to their homes and/or delivered digitally.
5. I send a check to your school for 10% of the proceeds.
6. Parents "oooh" and "aaah" and tell us we've spoiled them with how amazing their portraits are. They thank their lucky stars that their children attend a preschool where their children get to experience the best of the best.
Your Children are in Excellent Hands
School Photographer's Experience with Children
Before becoming a portrait photographer after my children were born, I was a teacher. My experience with children includes:
-
teaching at a preschool during college
-
doing dance and music therapy with autistic toddlers
-
earning my Bachelor's Degree (Magna Cum Laude) with dual major of Elementary Ed and Child Drama
-
earning my Master's Degree with honors in Educational Leadership and Supervision
-
teaching Kindergarten, moving up to 2nd grade, and teaching Basic Skills (K-5)
-
teaching theatre and video production to 6-8th graders
-
teaching a Mommy and Me class
-
raising three children
-
and more!
In Addition to Experience with Teaching...
I have been photographing preschools since 2009.
I love tuning in to children and spending a little time getting them comfortable enough to allow their true selves (and their real smiles) to shine through.
I know that parents don't want to pre-purchase a package of photos without seeing them, so everyone who participates in my preschool portrait fundraisers receives an online gallery with a shopping cart, so they can order only the photographs that they absolutely love.
The link to your child's photos is private, but can be shared with any of your interested family members. This fundraiser is the one that grandparents and other family members are most excited about!
School Portrait Pricing
Although Elise and her associates do their best to capture that unique sparkle in each child's eye, she is able to offer steeply discounted packages because of the high volume nature of school portrait photography.
With us, parents don't purchase a photography package in advance. They will be emailed an online gallery of images, and will order only what they absolutely love. They are under no obligation to purchase anything, although they usually can't resist the photos once they see them. They love purchasing photos as holiday gifts and investing in the entire gallery of images. Grandparents, aunts and uncles typically enjoy participating in this fundraiser as well.
Digital images are quite popular these days because they give the parents the ability to print as many copies as they'd like, from wherever they'd like, and they also use them to make holiday cards, announcements and gifts on their own. As of Spring 2022, one digital image was $60, and small prints start at $10. Print Packages that include various print sizes and a group portrait start at $60.Digital copies of group photographs are not available.
