School Photography
in Columbus, Ohio and beyond
Hey! I’m Sarah, a Columbus, Ohio school photographer who specializes in timeless, simple portraits of students.
That’s me: mom of four, artist behind the camera and solopreneur going on nine years of running this business I adore.
I know life is busy and chaotic.
I also know the fleeting playfulness and tenderness of childhood passes far too quickly. That’s why I’m so passionate about capturing each child’s unique personality. No cheesy smiles, no cheesy backdrops, just timeless imagery. Learn how to get started below.
My approach to School Photography in Columbus Ohio:
The TLDR version: My goal is to offer families beautiful, simple portraits of their kids in a way that is EASY and streamlined for schools.
My Why
I believe parents deserve a beautiful and honest portrait of their child they’d be delighted to hang up on their walls. For many families, School Photos are the only opportunity they’ll have to purchase a professional portrait of their child this year. My goal is to connect with each child during a quick, playful, low-pressure session, resulting in a timeless, natural, and authentic portraits.
Let’s make this easy!
I’ll help you figure out the best way to streamline photo day, and will spend about 1-2 minutes with each child during their session. After the photos are taken, the ordering process will take place completely online. Families will be linked to a password-protected online ordering gallery within 2-3 weeks of photo day. Each child will be provided 3-5 watermarked images, presented in both color and black and white. The family may choose the photos they want printed or to download, as opposed to having a pose chosen for them (happier parents, yay!). A detailed video describing all ordering procedures will be emailed to parents to keep things easy for everyone too.
I can take staff and class photos depending on the school’s needs.
What about pricing and prints?
Typically, all of my profit is made from ordering. I do charge a minimum fee to come out to the school, which varies based on enrollment numbers, but if orders placed exceed my fees, payment from the school is waived. I offer competitive rates on my carefully selected professional print products. Prints are ordered from a private online gallery during a seven-day window. Once orders are received I will drop them off at your school! Reach out to secure an updated price sheet.
Availability?
I work with each individual school to schedule photo days any time during the academic year.
