It’s our Annual Calotype School Portrait Event!

Do you love yearly school pictures of your children, but wish they weren’t so boring? Every year at this time, Calotype opens the studio for upgraded school portraits!

It’s the same package we do every year:

One 8x10” print, 2-5x7” prints, 2-4x6” prints, and 8 wallets (all one pose). From what you tell us, this assortment provides most everything you need for yourself and family. I’ll take 3-5 different poses for you to choose from (you’ll come back later to view and choose which ones you like).

It’s just one child at a time (no siblings posed together).

YES, you can bring a prop! A book, a favorite stuffy… let your kiddo do their thing.

Pay up front when you book- this keeps things moving effortlessly and ensures everyone shows up!

I will have a few different backgrounds available to choose from.

Concrete gray painted canvas backdrop

Warm-toned brown/copper/espresso background

About Choosing Your Images

To avoid feeling rushed, I’ll ONLY be photographing- instead of having clients stay and choose their images right away.

In times past when we had clients choose their images right away, a few people felt pressure to choose quickly- and I don’t want anyone to feel that way! I’m here to make your life MORE comfortable, not add pressure! ;) So after photographing your child, I’ll have you pick a date to return to the studio or do a Zoom call, and you can view your images then with plenty of breathing room.

To book, click here or email me or call 417-658-8865.

THERE’S NO AGE LIMIT- as long as a child can sit by themselves, they are not too young (or too old!) Don’t let the term “School Portrait” make you think they have to be enrolled in a school! This is for everyone! (If you grownups need an updated portrait for LinkedIn, your side hustle, etc- take advantage of this!)

Cost is $55 plus tax per subject and due when you book. It does include the photo package or you can switch to just a single high resolution digital file, if you prefer, once you see the images.

Please note- due to the scarcity of openings for this yearly event, there are no refunds for cancellations or no-shows. I completely understand if your child is sick or some other busy life event happens, so you won’t lose your payment. We’ll just hold it until the next year’s school portrait event, or you can use it as credit toward family portraits at another time!
