A Sneakie Peakie of my first dab into School Portraiture

I am literally drop down on my feet EXHAUSTED from today’s portrait session over at Jordan Glen School. Oh….but it was SO worth it. The parents over at JG wanted to get their kids out from in front of the dreaded blue backdrop say “cheese” pictures -and outside in their environment where they are so happy playing and being….well…..kids! I was going to do the entire school today (Pre-K through 8th) but the 5th-8th graders decided to wait until next week. I was so glad that they did because there was NO WAY I was going to get the whole school. Even though I am so tired…I have to say..I had the best time. These kids ROCK! It was so cool to also be able to photograph some of these fine, fine, teachers with their own children. Here is just a taste of the over 60 kids I captured today!

For you photogs out there…these are SOOTC..not editing has been done.

 

This is one of the most awesome Kindergarten teachers around with her son Lincoln!

Ms. Nicki - Kindergarten: Don’t you agree that Faculity Pictures need to look cool too!

Last but not least, my dear sweet Amy who kinda puts it all together, with her beautiful daughter Katrina!
