ABOUT PICTURE DAY
Boutique fine art portraits are child-focused. All pictures are taken in natural light. The results are genuine, timeless and authentic portraits. I only take on a few, select schools so that I can provide superior customer service and artistic images. I offer a variety of natural images in both color and black & white, as well as quality prints and products.
Some students are much more comfortable in front of the camera than others therefore, I strive to connect with each student to capture their personality, while providing an environment where kids can relax and be themselves, naturally. Each and every image that is technically sound is placed in your child’s gallery.
We offer a variety of options at all price points with convenient online ordering
You are not required to purchase school photos however, a portion of all purchases go directly back to your school! All orders are hand inspected, packaged and delivered.
IMPORTANT DETAILS
All galleries are private and password-protected. The password to your child's individual gallery is his/her 4-digit birthday in MMDD format. (Example: May 10th would be 0510)
Make-up/Retakes will be offered ONLY for students that were not available to participate in picture day.
When you purchase digital files, you receive the rights to print and use your child's image(s) for personal use. Digital files can be ordered right from your gallery by clicking on the "Digital Media" tab. Digital files are high-resolution and will be delivered to your email. You may share on social media, email to friends and family, and make prints using your preferred lab. **Please note that I am unable to guarantee quality of prints outside of my own professional printing services.
Please be sure to make note of your order due date! I receive bulk pricing and discounted shipping on large orders placed at the same time, I happily pass that savings down to parents that order before the final due date. Late orders are subject to a $25 fee
Due to the custom nature of portraiture, all sales are final.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does it say "PROOF" across the photo? That is our way of protecting the photographs of your child from being used without permission. Purchased items (canvas, digital files, prints, etc) will NOT have a logo or proof across the image..
Do you offer retouching? Although all images are hand edited, additional retouching (such as removing acne, scaring, braces, glare, etc) is not done automatically. There is an option when placing your online order to have one image retouched, or to have all photos of your child in the entire gallery retouched.
Do you offer discounts on portrait sessions? Absolutely. I offer a generous discount off Family Sessions for HEEC Families. Please email regina@elementallens.com for details and availability.
Are your print prices the same if we book a portrait session? Because school orders are placed in bulk through my professional lab specializing in school portrait printing, I am not able to honor the same deal on prints for portrait sessions. The pricing for school photography is based on high volume. All other portraits are specifically commissioned on creating heirloom products & original art for your home.
