CONTEMPORARY SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY
School photography in Conejo Valley, Ventura County and Los Angeles County
I offer schools a modern approach to school photography — authentic expressions, clean styling, and natural light.
After 25 years as a Director of Photography in film and television, I bring that same eye to every picture day. The result is a portrait that looks like the child, not like a school picture.
Individual portraits, preschool and Montessori sessions, sibling and family photos, class groups, staff headshots, and yearbook photography. Whether you're looking for an alternative to traditional school photography or a more elevated experience for your families, I'd love to talk.
