AWAY ON PHOTO DAY

Families can sign up to Annie’s newsletter and get notified when Annie host modern school portrait sessions at her home studio!

why I use natural light

We opt for natural light whenever possible!
We’ll find a location within the school that is directly in front of a window. We use a windows as a light source whenever possible because some children may be sensitive to camera flashes, or bright artificial light sources. 

When we take photos of kids, we play games and keep our equipment to a minimal so children are not intimidated by all the photo gear.
