ABout Picture Day
When is school picture day?
Monday, October 7th, 2024: Nursery, Preschool, Prekindergarten, Kindergarten
Tuesday, October 8th, 2024: Sibling Photos (all years), Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Middle School Years
Do I have to commit to buying something before you take my child’s picture?
Absolutely not. Here’s how it works: I take the photos, and soon after the proofs become available in an online viewing gallery. Expect about three different images of your student. You look them over and fall in love, or don’t. If you love them you can purchase a package or products a la carte. If you don’t, no big deal. Promise.
Ugh! My kid has nothing to wear!
I highly doubt that. Children look adorable in whatever they wear. You might want to leave the hoodies, flesh-colored shirts, neon, and loud graphic prints at home. Besides that, you’re good to go.
My child makes the weirdest faces for the camera.
My approach to photographing children involves having a conversation, learning about their favorite things, and telling some silly jokes. I don’t ask them to smile or say “cheese.” This leads to more organic and natural expressions. Sometimes they laugh out loud. Sometimes they are more serious and reserved. All these expressions are equally beautiful.
Do you offer sibling pictures?
Yes! If you have more than one student enrolled at Ying Hua, I will photograph them together if you indicate on the registration form that you would like aibling pictures.
Waiting is so hard! When do I get to see my child’s pictures?
You’ll receive a digital link to your photos about 3-4 weeks after picture day.
Is school photography your REAL job?
Not really. Photography is my real job, but school portraits are reserved for 1-2 special schools each year. My real job is documentary family photography, which captures the beauty and chaos of every day family life as it happens. Want to learn more? Click here.

F.A.Q.
I love these SO much, I want one huge on my wall that will last generations. Is that possible?
Definitely. I’m a full service photographer and for my documentary work I use amazing print labs which create gorgeous pieces on fine art paper using the highest quality inks. The color and detail of these prints are unparalleled. I can then have these mounted, matted or even framed for you. Feel free to reach out for a custom quote if this is something you’re interested in.
I can't decide between two of my child's photos. Can I split a package between images?
Yes, you can mix and match images within an individual student’s gallery to create your package. Photos from different galleries, such as siblings, cannot be put into the same package. However, you can order your other favorite images a la carte.
Those watermarks. They won't be on my prints and digitals, right?
Absolutely not. The images you purchase will be watermark-free.
Is there an advantage to buying the prints if I can just buy a high-resolution file and get prints made myself?
Well, yes and no. If you're a professional photographer with an account at a pro print lab, by all means, print yourself. But I can virtually guarantee that printing your child's portrait at CVS, Target, Shutterfly, or similar lab will yield disappointing results. I work with one of the top professional print labs in the country. The lab uses state-of-the-art printing technology, the best dyes and processes, and the highest-end paper to ensure gorgeous print quality that will look as good in 25 years as it does today.
