What Are Fine Art School Portraits?

What do your kids school pictures look like? Is it the typical blue backdrop, flat lighting, and plastered smiles? Perhaps your school uses a large, high volume photography company that comes to your school and your student is just a name on the roster. And then the photos are overpriced for such poor quality.

What if I told you there is a better way? A way that creatively showcases each student, is affordable for families, and is minimal work for your school. Fine art school portraits can provide you such an experience!

Creative Student Portraits

With fine art school portraits I work hard to make sure every student in front of my camera feels seen. I chat with them to make them feel comfortable and look for creative ways to capture their personality. I don’t want to force them to smile. Trust me, mom can tell! But I’m not afraid to get silly to elicit a true and honest expression. I simply want to capture each student as they are, in ways that are creative and meaningful to families and allow your student’s personality to shine. Not to mention, you don’t just get one pose of your student to choose from, you get multiple poses for ultimate choices.

“We loved our photos from Elizabeth Osberg Photography. She captured the unique attributes of our child’s smile and personality all in a few shots! The image quality was also excellent. We highly recommend her!”

Affordable Quality Images

I know that budgets can be tight. I have a family, too, and I understand the need to keep things affordable. Especially when it comes to large families. It’s my goal to make sure that I carry prints and products that all families can afford. There’s never a minimum purchase when ordering. Families can choose from a variety of solo prints, packages, digital options, and even canvas of their student’s portraits. And I work with a high quality lab with amazing customer service, so I know that you’re going to get amazing quality products for a great price!

“The images were high quality. I loved having several image choices and loved how reasonably priced the prints were to order. Overall an excellent experience. Thank you!”

Minimal Work for Your School

Offering school portraits at your school should not mean extra work for your school! I’ve been providing fine art school portraits for over twelve years and have my systems down to a science! I want to keep this process as hands off and stress free as possible for each of the schools that I work with. That means there are no forms or monies for the school to collect. All proofing and ordering is done online. The most that has to be done by the school is getting word out about picture day, setting up a picture day schedule, and helping distribute prints once they arrive. It’s super easy! And if your school has special needs, or requests, I will work my hardest to make sure those needs are met!

“Elizabeth Osberg somehow manages to catch each child’s personality in every shot. The kids are at ease with her and she makes them feel so comfortable. She has an eye for capturing special moments. Our walls are covered with her beautifully captured photographs. She is kind, patient and always delivers. Thank you!!!”

Thinking of making the switch for your school, but still have questions? I’d love to chat more and see if working together would be a good fit for your school. I’m currently booking schools in the Denver and Littleton, Colorado areas for the 2022/2023 school season. Let’s take back picture day and make it fun again!
