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.

That’s why I’m offering Kindergarten Milestone Photography in Charlotte, NC. It’s stress-free, professional portraits taken before the first day of school so you can relax and enjoy the big morning. These back to school mini sessions take place in my Charlotte studio on Saturday, August 16th, 2025 and are designed to capture your child’s personality, confidence, and excitement for the year ahead.

How Long is a Mini Session

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).

This makes the portraits even more meaningful when you look back years from now.
