Candid Portraits of School Children

WHAT IS BOUTIQUE SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY?

Boutique School Photography is a custom photography experience for select schools (including preschools, homeschool children, and dance schools) in the north Idaho area. I provide a streamlined, personal, professional service and a product that delivers genuine, artistic images of children. The atmosphere for the children is easy and laid-back and fun loving. My love for children helps me to provide an experience for the kids that's fun, easy-going, and captures them with natural expressions. I do not force smiles or awkward poses. The resulting images are relaxed and as unique as the child.

“Thank you, Heidi, for the awesome photos of our son. He was not that interested in taking pictures on his scheduled day, but Heidi walked around the park with him, letting him lead the way and suggesting fun places for a photo. The location was a beautiful choice, too. Thanks again!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What service do you provide?

I provide all equipment and personnel needed for photo day. It's important to me that the proofing and ordering process is super easy for the families. Each family will have access to a private online gallery containing 3-8 images in both color and black and white. The family then selects the images they'd like to order, with options for both print and digital format. I also provide boutique product choices such as prints and canvas gallery wraps. All viewing and ordering are done online for a stress-free and convenient experience. No paper forms to lose! A detailed email is provided describing photo day preparation and ordering procedures to each school prior to photo day. I handle all questions and communication from parents regarding ordering process. I offer a special "sibling rate" for when 2 or more siblings attend the same school. I can work with your school to create a custom experience that meets your needs!

Is this service expensive?

There is no cost to the school for photo day; all profit is made from orders. My pricing is competitive, with a variety of options to accommodate everyone. Parents only order what they want with no obligation or minimum required purchase.

How do parents pay?

Because my entire system is hosted online, proofs are viewed online, and all orders and payments are processed online. The school does not handle forms, printed proofs, or payments. The whole process is designed to be stress-free and convenient!

When do you schedule these sessions?

I work with the school to determine the best time of the school year to offer these photographs to their families. Often they choose twice a year. I offer cap and gown sessions for graduation Kindergarten classes.
