Fine Art School portraits in Upstate New York
I want to give schools and families an alternative to traditional school portraits with a personal experience for their school portraits.
Nicole Lockhart Photography is not like the corporate photography industry. My service is customizable to each school’s needs. What makes these non-traditional school portraits so wonderful is authenticity. Each one of your students is perfect as they are, and I do not want to overshadow them with stiff poses and forced smiles. We have come to tolerate and expect those traditional school portraits with dated backgrounds and awkward poses. The experience is laidback and fun. Each student will have my full attention so they can relax and show me the person they are. In the end, schools and families end up with portraits that they will love and stand the test of time.
Frequently asked questions
What services do you offer?
Everything is completed online. Families will receive an online gallery to complete their orders. All albums are password protected. The galleries will be divided by the system your school is arranged; whether it's by grade, age, homeroom. Then each class will be divided by the student. Each student will have 2-5 images in their gallery both in color and black and white.
Families have options and get to choose the image they like best rather than having it chosen for them. Parents will have their choice of prints, print packages, canvases, and digital images to keep or print later.
A PDF will be provided laying out the ordering process and picture day preparation for you to provide to the parents.
Ordering is done online and the prints will be delivered to the school.
I will have all the equipment necessary for picture day.
The school will receive high resolution files to use for yearbooks, ID, websites, etc.
