Fine Art

School portraits

beautiful. natural. modern.

Exclusively for Schools, Daycares and Playgroups my Fine Art School Portraits are a modern approach to school photos. No more cheesy smiles with strange backgrounds. The background will be a solid natural colour and the photos will be simple and classic. Instead of forcing a cheesy grin, the children will be encouraged to be themselves and will never be forced to smile.

I am able to offer all of the same services as large photography studios, however my photos are genuine and my service is more personal.

WHAT MAKES your PHOTOGRAPHY DIFFERENT?

My goal during my short time with each child is not to force a cheesy smile. I’m looking for natural expressions, which I encourage through honest, upbeat and genuine interaction. Results will range from serious or shy to sweet and silly. The solid background keeps the focus solely on the child’s face and expression.

HOW DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH SHY/SCARED/TIRED CHILDREN?

My photography style is candid, relaxed, emotive and authentic. I'm a mum, so I do my very best to make the children feel relaxed and happy in front of the camera. I keep it simple and light and even allow them to sit with a parent or care giver if they are feeling nervous. I focus on the precious, candid moments that naturally occur as a child expresses themselves. I want parents to look at these pictures and remember their child exactly as they were at this age.

You can expect to see your school photos delivered within two to four weeks of school photo day. This entirely depends on the size of the school, larger schools obviously taking longer.

I hand edit each child's portrait individually. This is something I care deeply about to ensure quality is maintained throughout the entire school gallery.

Parents will be e-mailed the link to a password protected online proofing gallery. There will be 2-5 images of each child and images are presented in both colour and black and white. Each family can choose the images they love best as opposed to having a pose chosen for you.

HOW DO YOU COLLECT PAYMENT FROM FAMILIES WHO PLACE ORDERS?

Everything is viewed, ordered and paid online through the password protected school gallery. There are no paper order forms to keep up with or cash money for the school to collect on my behalf.

Families will have the option to purchase a range of photographic products including digital images with printing rights, fine art lustre coated prints specifically to fit Swiss frames along with wall art and gift products.

A comprehensive ordering guide is available to assist families with their orders and any questions the school receives may be redirected to Amanda Joy Photography to answer.

Fine Art Prints, Wall Art and Gift Items can take between two to six weeks to arrive depending on the sales period agreed upon with your school. Printed goods are packaged and delivered to the school by Amanda Joy Photography. Families will collect their prints at the agreed upon location within the school, usually the child's classroom or main office.

Privacy is incredibly important to Amanda Joy Photography.

Every School Gallery is passcode protected, as is every individual student album within the School Gallery. Each passcode is unique and families will be informed of these after school picture day.

Occasionally I may reach out to an individual student's guardian asking permission to use their child's image in my portfolio and future marketing material. I will not use any photograph without proper written consent from the family.
