Sunset Sessions are here!

We offer more than school photography—capturing families, couples, maternity, and newborns too—and Sunset Sessions are the perfect time for those portraits.

Sunset Sessions take place in fall and spring, when the light is golden and the air is gentle. The summer heat in Arizona lingers well into the evening, making outdoor sessions uncomfortable, so we wait for the seasons when the warmth turns soft and the sunsets feel like magic.

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 two weeks of picture day.
Questions? Email us at bloom@vanessabrack.com and receive a reply within one business day (M-F).
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.

Everything you need to know.

Within two weeks 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.
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 child and family. 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, full-body, 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!

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.
