Charlotte First Day of School Photos
The first day of school is a huge milestone—especially when your little one is starting kindergarten. They may be feeling excited, nervous, or both, and as a parent, you’re working hard to make sure everything is ready for the big day. Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for: first day of school photos.
Sometimes, your child is all smiles. Other times… not so much. Between the morning rush, packed lunches, and drop-off jitters, getting a perfect shot can feel impossible.

How Long is a Mini Session
Kids get restless, even for photographers! The session is designed to not only be fun but quick and easy for all involved. Your session will be 20 minutes. Long enough for me to capture their personalities and get a variety of different poses for you. It’s a win-win for all and a great start to a new school year! If you have more than one school aged child, you can book a session for each one (It doesn’t have to be just kindergartners).
What Does the Back to School Session Include
Your 20-minute mini session comes with 3 edited high-resolution digital images for $125. You will have the option to upgrade and also purchase a print package. A $75 non-refundable retainer is due at the time of booking. You can expect to have your photos back in 3-5 business days.
What to Wear for the First Day of School Photos
Dress your child in whatever you’re planning for them to wear on the first day of school. That can be their school uniform or any back to school outfit you guys have chosen.
This makes the portraits even more meaningful when you look back years from now.

The back to school mini session will only be offered on August 16th. It’s best to book your session as soon as possible because once the sessions are all booked, that’s it until next year. You will be able to pick your timeslot and book your session instantly here.
