modern school portraits
picture day reinvented
preschools & daycares in and around Seattle, WA
Bring a refreshingly modern photography experience to your daycare center or home based, pre-school, or private school in or around Kent, WA.
NO stiff poses or cheesy smiles!
Celebrate each child's unique charm.
Families deserve a specialized school photography experience that captures the true personality of their children.
My playful approach results in genuine, ageless portraits - a far cry from the usual school photos with awkward posing, bad lighting, and dated backgrounds.
I love working with young kids.
No one tells it like it is better than a four year old!
I love working with young kids. They're so joyful and honest. I take an individualized approach to photography, using connection and play to capture each child's personality. For over eight years I’ve taken pride in working with children and their families. I strive to create beautiful portraits of each child that are true to who they are.
My favorite portraits feel candid, and they're parents' favorites, too. I don't force kids to smile, just ask questions and tell jokes to bring out their personality.
“Thank you again, the big bonus besides great professional photography - the admiration and respect we have for the kind, talented Human Mama that makes this art!”
— Stephanie, Parent
A beautiful photo doesn't always mean a smile and looking into the camera...any image can take your breath away.

treating kids like a cattle call with cookie cutter results.

“The photos you did of the kids are wonderful! You captured them perfectly!”

introducing
picture day
redesigned from the ground up!
Picture day can and should be a celebration of each child's unique qualities, that's enjoyable for teachers, and results in portraits parents adore.
Multipose Online Galleries
Parents want variety!
In the past, you chose a package and crossed your fingers that the one picture the photographer got would look decent. #nothankyou
Multipose Galleries mean parents get the perfect portrait every time. They choose the pose, angle, and expression before making a decision. Each gallery typically includes 3-6 images in both color and black and white.
Simplified Paperless Ordering
No forms to keep track of and parents only order what they love!
Why purchase portraits you haven’t seen? Thanks to state-of-the-art software called PhotoDay® parents get to view private galleries and select the images that capture their child's spirit most authentically.
Packages can include a variety of poses or families can build their own bundle using the a la carte menu, so they can spend as much or as little as they want.
Inclusive & Accessible
Great school pictures are for EVERY KID.
Inclusivity and accessibility have always been pillars of my approach to photography. From sensory needs to mobility challenges, I’ll work with you to customize a picture day that works for your students.
“Rose takes the most amazing pictures using natural surroundings. I’ve used others and when I found her, I stuck with her!”
— Gail, Owner, Kidazzle Daycare & Preschool, Kent, WA
Perks & Bonuses
-
SIBLING AND BEST BUDDY PORTRAITS
If you’d like to include the option for sibling or best buddy portraits on your picture day we can include that too! Each individual student gallery will include their solo and sibling portraits.
-
PARENT-AND-ME PORTRAITS
If your staff has children at school, shouldn't we capture a few adorable shots of them loving each other?
As a busy mama who forgets to get in pictures myself, it just makes sense.

STAFF PRINTING DISCOUNTS
Teachers and ECE don’t get paid anywhere near what they’re worth. My mom was an early childhood educator for 30 years. I know your staff deserve a little something extra! So, all staff will receive a special staff-only coupon code for their print orders.

Picture Day details at a glance
There’s no cost upfront, all purchases are made after viewing the pictures.
Before picture day you will receive detailed instructions to share with your families that explains what to expect on the day and the ordering process.
On your picture day I bring all the necessary equipment with me and set up in a predetermined spot either indoors or outside of the school.
Two weeks after picture day families will receive a link that directs them to an online password-protected gallery, which will include only pictures with their child. Each child will receive 3-5 images to choose from.
Families can place orders for digital files, prints, and gifts. Prices are competitive with package and a la carte options.
At booking you will have the option to have students pictures delivered to the school or ship directly to each family.
“Rose created such a stress free moment. She was amazing with the toddlers and somehow they magically followed instructions.”
— Sundus, Parent
