School Photography

My daughter's preschool uses Teddy Bear Portraits. They come one day to take the photos and do 3 different poses. Then they come back a week or so later with the 3 different poses printed out and the parents can just buy the ones they want. There is also a free gift for each child (really the parents) that goes along with it -- one year it was a canvas bag with the different poses printed on it; another year was a mouse pad with one of the poses printed.

Avery House Photography are excellent - give them a go. Contact is Matt Savage on ###-###-####. I'm not sure whether they've done school work before but I'm sure they are very capable.

Try contacting LifeTouch. They make visits to your school. My kids have had their photos taken in preschool by them. They take each child's photo and the school receives them in the mail. The company gives the parent a time frame to review the photos and decide if they want them. Should the parents choose to keep them, they pay for them. If they don't want the photos, you send them back. Nothing comes out of your pocket.

M.,
My husband and I own a photography studio in Glen Ellyn. We are word of mouth only, more of a boutique-type studio. We have never wanted to get into school photos because we like to do more life-style photography. However, a pre-school sounds like it could be a lot of fun and have the potential to do something a little different than your regular school photo. I'd love to talk with you and find out some more details. We are launching a new website soon, but our old one is still up and running:

and our blog - also not finished yet:

Hope to talk to you soon. I bet this is a crazy time of year with the start of school!

Hi M.,

I work for Picture Day, which is a school photo company. The owner, Brian Warling, is a good friend and we take pictures all over the Chicago-land area. These photos are the best around--not like your typical school picture, but at school photo prices. Brian has two young children himself so he relates really well to kids. My two girls' school pictures were BEAUTIFUL! We are small but can handle schools with large populations. Since we are not a chain you get personalized service. You can look at our website: www.picture-day.com, or call the studio at ###-###-####. I don't want to list my cell number here but if you call the studio they will pass the info on to me and I will call you directly. Look forward to hearing from you!

I have a great friend who's a fantastic photographer and would love to do this kind of work! I'm also a photographer & I've worked with Marco for years. He's from Brazil, graduated from Columbia College and has been working professionally every since. He's excellent at all kinds of photography and also just really great with people and portraiture. I can't recommend him enough.

Hi M.

just to give you another option. LIfetouch portraits have done my childrens school pictures. With all these suggestions, you should have fun and ample information to make an informed choice.

Good Luck!
