Vancouver Preschool Photographers

Not your average school photographer!
We don’t ask kids to say “cheese” or force them into awkward poses. Instead, we play games, make silly noises, and create a relaxed environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. Whether a child is shy, grumpy, or extra silly, we focus on capturing genuine expressions and true personalities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vancouver School Photography
How do we schedule photo day

We work with many preschools and daycares in the lower mainland. Contact us directly to book a photo day. We’d love to chat about our process and how easy it is to have beautiful portraits offered at your school.

How long will photo day last?

We work fast and can comfortably photograph 20-30 preschoolers in an hour.

When to book photo day?

Fall and spring fill up quickly, so it’s best to get in touch early. We recommend booking your photo day at least four months in advance to secure your spot. Book your Vancouver school portraits today!

ARE PRECHOOL PHOTOS EXPENSIVE?

We offer a variety of packages comparable to large photo studios. There is no cost for the school. Schools will receive complimentary staff headshots and class photos. 

BACKDROPS OPTIONS?

We offer just two options. Solid black or white. No lasers, no bookshelves, no props, no distractions! School will decide the colour of the backdrop.

AWAY ON PHOTO DAY

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

why we use natural light

We prioritize natural light whenever possible. Our team looks for bright spaces within the school—often right by a window—to create soft, flattering portraits. Using natural light helps keep the environment calm and comfortable, especially for children who may be sensitive to camera flashes or harsh artificial lighting.

When photographing kids, we keep things fun and relaxed by playing games and using minimal equipment, so children never feel overwhelmed or intimidated by bulky gear.
