School Picture Event Highlights

Every year, Calotype offers The School Picture Event. It’s for people who love yearly school pictures of their children, but wish they weren’t so bland and boring and Lifetouch-y. Annually in August, I open the studio for two days of personal, one-of-a-kind school pictures where clients get to watch the process and view their images right away.

Girl Dancer in Costume

Dancers put so much time and work into what they do- why not have professional photos taken to celebrate? This young lady dances at Solomon’s Dance Studio in Neosho. Can you guess some of the dances these costumes belong to?

Photographed in the studio.

Mom and Sons at Big Spring Park (Summer)

Back again to Big Spring Park in Neosho, this time with Lisha and her two sons for another 9 AM Session. Can you tell it’s early to be photographing on a weekend? What gives it away?

This was mom’s favorite- it ended up being an 18x24 Signature Canvas for the wall.

Lisha had a good idea for putting images together. She chose these favorites for a Canvas Collage for her wall.

Can you tell the younger son is sticking out his tongue in the top right photo of the two boys together? When I photographed the boys, I told them to look over at their mom mom. Of course, that expression naturally popped up and Mom loved it just enough to include it in the Collage. That’s the perfect place for images like that- ones you want to keep, but don’t necessarily want as your focal image on the wall.

Here are more of Lisha’s favorites:

Do you think moms should be in photographs more? If you had portraits taken with your children, would you want outdoors or something in studio? Do you have any ideas you’d like to share? Email me and let me know!
