MODERN SCHOOL PORTRAITS
School can be hard, but school PICTURE DAY doesn’t have to be
Work with a local photographer, trained in working with children, to have a fun, laid back, picture day that yields amazing natural and modern school portraits for your community.
What if SCHOOL pictures could look like this…
And what if they could be easier — and more fun — not just for the kiddos, but for parents and school directors?
Pssst. They can be.
What are MODERN SCHOOL
portraits?
Not your average school photo!
I believe that the essence of a personality is rarely captured in a “cheese” smile. With a fun and relaxed approach to portraits, I am able to capture more natural expressions and true emotions of your child. They will be photographed on a classic grey background, allowing their personalities to shine.
These school photos are quick and low stress, lasting just a few minutes. I chat with them, telling jokes, and acting silly to help their personality and natural smile to shine. That being said, if you have a serious and contemplative child, I’ll photograph them in their natural state as well.
SCHOOL Photography
Modern School Portraits with Rebecca Hunnicutt Photography & Education provides a UNIQUE one of a kind experience for students and families.
The online photo gallery delivered to families has multiple natural expressions, in both horizontal and vertical orientation from which families can select their student’s photos.
The expressions in the portraits will range from serious to silly, based on each child’s unique personality and mood on picture day. There will be close up compositions as well as images with more space around the student.
Instead of one image being selected by the photographer to present to families, caregivers can choose one or multiple expressions and natural poses of their child for their print and digital file products.
“The photos are absolutely gorgeous & truly
capture the childrens UNIQUE personalities”
“Rebecca was a pleasure as she worked with me to coordinate school photo days for multiple schools! From start to finish communication was great and she made the process so easy. The children also responded beautifully to her and we did not experience tears or child anxiety as often is seen on picture day. Best of all, the photos are absolutely gorgeous and truly capture the child's unique personalities. I look forward to continuing to work with Rebecca for our future school picture days!”

Let’s make SCHOOL picture day easy and FUN
School picture day is a yearly tradition that many of us remember from our years growing up. When I think back to school picture day it included having to sit with an uncomfortable posture, be told to angle my shoulders and chin in an un-natural manner, and then to smile on command without blinking. Just those words makes me uncomfortable, and it’s no wonder that my true personality never shined through in those annual school photos.
That’s why Modern School Portraits are different.
I want kids to have fun, be excited for picture day each year, and have treasured memories that reflect their true personalities to hold and display for years to come.
I want nothing more than for your children and students to be relaxed and to enjoy having their photo taken. When they are relaxed and themselves, they will have natural expressions that are true to their personality, and you will LOVE to see their true selves shining through the portraits.
How it works…
-
First we’ll have a call to discuss working together to discuss important points like learning about the size of your school population, if you’d like class group photos, teacher photos etc. Then we’ll schedule an on site visit to select a location for photos, and finalize your photo day schedule. I’ll provide your school with handouts and a personalized website detailing how families can prepare for picture day.
-
On school picture day/days I’ll arrive before our planned start time to set up the photo area, and to meet the staff. We’ll work together to bring children to the photo area in groups of at least 5 children with clean faces, ready to have fun photos taken. I work hard to have the least disruption to their school day as possible. We’ll also photograph teachers throughout the day if needed, and coordinate sibling photos too!
-
All student photographs are delivered via a secure online gallery for families to share, enjoy, and from which they can directly order all print and digital products. Digital products are delivered immediately after purchase, and print products and wall art are all nordered together after the gallery closes. The print products are then hand delivered to the school by Rebecca, approximately 2-4 weeks after the ordering window closes.
