Fine Art School Portraits

(School Photography based in NEPA)
Our goal is to provide a custom, boutique experience to all families attending the schools who have chosen Erika Dolph Photography to photograph their students.


Our service is personal and professional. Unlike large, corporate photography operations, we only take on a select number of schools so that we can provide superior customer service and artistic images. But that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on professionalism, quality, or time. We provide a more personal and what we believe to be better experience for both the schools and the families we work with.


Our aim is to capture the essence of the children in front of the camera. We will never force a smile. No awkward poses or faces, just the authentic child, on the day. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are far from the traditional cheesy photos we have become accustomed to with bright flashes and unflattering, busy backgrounds.  We provide a light and fun experience for your children and take pride in providing an environment where the kids can relax and be themselves, naturally.

HOW IS A FINE ART SCHOOL PORTRAIT DIFFERENT THAN STANDARD SCHOOL PHOTOS?


I am so glad you asked! Our approach is a bit different and a lot better (if you ask us!)

Each child will be provided 2-5 images, presented in both color and black and white. The family may chose the photos they want printed, as opposed to having a pose chosen for them. I also provide boutique product choices such as mugs, magnets, keychains and digital images for future printing and archiving. 

A detailed PDF describing all ordering procedures and photoshoot day preparation will be provided to each school to be distributed to families prior to photo day.

ARE THESE IMAGES EXPENSIVE?


We have competitive rates and nothing is due up front, all profit is made from ordering. We offer a variety of collections and a-la-carte products to fit everyone's needs. [Click here to view sample pricing] (*please note, prices are subject to change). 


WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?

We are a completely online operation. Families are given a QR code that links a safe, online gallery. Child galleries are individual and private. Each gallery is set up according to grade, classroom, homeroom, advisory, or whatever grouping which makes sense for the school. 



WHAT TIME OF YEAR DO YOU CONDUCT THESE FINE ART SCHOOL PHOTO SHOOTS?


We work with each individual school to schedule shoots any time during the academic year. 


DO YOU PROVIDE CLASS PHOTOS?


We do! If the school needs class photos we will take them either on photo day as a group or arrange the individual photos onto a template that will be available when the online galleries become available.
