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:
A modern, timeless approach to traditional school photography that captures the unique personality of each child during a quick, playful, low-pressure session.
All students are photographed in natural light or with a small flash - no intimidating props or large lights.
I don’t charge a fee to come into the school and take portraits. 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. A detailed PDF describing all ordering procedures and shooting day preparation will be provided to each school to be distributed to families prior to photo day.
I will give out my contact information and handle any questions from parents and families about ordering and products.
I can take staff and class photos depending on the school’s needs.
I will bring a simple black or white backdrop with me, or use one the school provides if preferred.
What about pricing and prints?
There is no fee to come into the school and take portraits. All profit is made from ordering and 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. Bonus, I donate 10% of all print proceeds back to the school.
Availability?
I work with each individual school to schedule shoots any time during the academic year.
