2025 Picture Day

Wednesday, May 7, 2025

Backdrop: Classic Black

Fine Art School Portraits with Bloom Photos are natural photographs that will become treasured keepsakes. We offer a boutique experience and authentic, soulful photos that capture your child's youth exactly as it is at that moment. Smiles may come naturally but we’ll also chat, joke, and play with the children to get real expressions. The experience is fun and light for the children, and online ordering makes the process easy for parents and schools.

  • You’ll make your purchases after picture day! No pre-payments, orders are made through the online preview gallery that will be emailed to you within one week after picture day.

  • Makeups/Retakes: An email will be sent out after picture day to schedule makeups/retakes, prepaid only, at our local studio.

  • Scroll down for ordering details and styling tips.

  • Important: Check your child’s face for “crusties” before sending them to school on picture day :) Every kiddo (especially our younger ones) tends to have something around their eyes, nose, or mouth. A quick wash in the sink or with a baby wipe will do the trick.

Within one week of picture day, the preview gallery will be emailed directly to you.

No need to check back, we’ll email you when it’s ready :)

Everything you need to know.

  • Within one week of your child’s picture day, you’ll receive an emailed link to the proofing gallery. There will be a wide variety of poses (at least 2) in both color and black and white.. We include all the good photos in your gallery! The ordering process is simple and secure. All orders are made from the preview gallery, which is live for seven (7) days.

    Digital photos will be emailed directly to you with print release. Prints and products will be shipped directly to you for a small fee.

  • Parents, nearly anything goes for our Fine Art Portraits! Choose a style that works best for your kiddo and family. Your child will be photographed in their own outfit, and in a cap and gown provided by the school. It’s best to avoid clothing that matches the backdrop.

    For classic portraits- avoid graphics, logos, words, and neon clothing. Solid colors or simple prints are best, and choose a color that you love with your child’s hair and skin-tone.

    For personality portraits- choose clothes that represent your kiddo just as they are right now. Costumes, fancy dresses, giant hair-bows, sport-themed clothing, it’s all fantastic. Accessories are great and add to the fun! We discourage props as it slows down the picture day process. We work quickly so that the students and staff can get back so their day.

    Poses will include half-body and close-ups. Poses are not guaranteed, based on child temperament.

    Style hair however you like. Feel free to be creative but simplicity is lovely as well.

    Bonus tip: If you’d like to display your photos in your home, keep in mind accent colors that you may want to compliment. Consider the colors and style in the space where the photos will live and base your styling around that. This is completely optional of course!

    Important: Check your child’s face for “crusties” before sending them to school :) Every kiddo (especially our younger ones) tends to have something around their eyes, nose, or mouth. A quick wash in the sink or with a baby wipe will do the trick.

  • Retakes will not be offered for child’s wardrobe, hair, appearance, or temperament.

    We don’t photograph crying kiddos. If a child is upset we’ll have a teacher or parent remove and comfort them, and we’ll try to photograph them again if time permits.

We got you.

Your online preview gallery will include all the good poses.

Plus!

Every pose will be in both color AND black and white.
