“I’m the administrator at a school in Kirkland. We had Chelsea come in and take pictures of all the students and staff. She did a wonderful job and she was so easy to work with! We had a lot that we needed to get done, like staff, students, siblings, and class pictures. We even needed to change backgrounds at one point. Chelsea was able to accommodate all of our needs!
Chelsea made the entire picture day process so easy on me. She gave me a clear expectation of how long everything would take and what we could do to speed up the process. She was extremely quick to reply to emails and answer all of my questions.
The turnaround time for pictures was way faster than I was expecting and they all turned out amazing! She was able to get even our grumpiest students to put on a big smile. All the staff has been talking about how they normally hate picture day but this year it was so easy.
I highly recommend Chelsea for school portraits and I’m planning on asking her to return next year too!”
How it Works
Photographs are taken on site using a simple set up that works indoors or outdoors.
Administrators are provided with an explanatory PDF to give to families, and the process is straightforward.
Once the portraits are ready to be viewed, families are sent a link to a password protected ordering gallery. They will receive a minimum of 5 images in color and black and white.
The best part is the family gets to choose their favorite photo(s). Prints and digitals are ordered online!

HOW MANY CHILDREN CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE?

Pandemic Preparedness
Keeping everyone safe and healthy is a top priority during the Covid -19 crisis, and I am committed to following the most up to date standards.
Mask wearing and social distancing guidelines will be followed.
Seating will be sanitized between each child.
The backdrop setup can be done outside or moved between rooms in the school if needed so that children can remain in their assigned cohorts.
Because of the possibility of rotating schedules, etc flexible dates and times are available to ensure every student has an opportunity for a photo. Alternatively, an open air studio will be available for scheduling photos outside of the school day.
If a child’s transportation is affected and needs an additional opportunity to have their photo taken, I will work with the school and family to find a date/location.
