How it works
School photos with Apollo & Ivy are different from the old standard school pics. No marbled backgrounds, green screens, or props here!
Fine art school photos keep the focus on your child’s unique personality. I spend time with them, make them smile and laugh, then capture their expressions, from pensive to sweet to silly.
Your next steps
- Fill out the form at the bottom of this page to pre-register your child for picture day.
You can request sibling photos, set a password for your child’s photos, and share anything you’d like me to know. You’ll get a link to the photos 24 hours before the gen pop.
After picture day
- Your child will have their own album of the best photos, usually 4 to 8 images, in color and black & white. If sibling photos turn out, they’ll get their own album too.
- You can order right from the online gallery. Choose from prints, canvases, digital downloads, and more. There’s no obligation to buy.
REGISTER FOR PICTURE DAY
If you have more than one child at LMN, enter the info for all children in one submission.

What to wear
Your child’s photos will be taken against a black backdrop, so keep that in mind when choosing clothing.
I recommend:
- Light-colored tops in solid colors or subtle prints. Consider colors that make your child’s eye color pop!
- Small bows (less than 4″ wide), headbands or barrettes at the side of the head.
- Details add visual interest: suspenders, ruffles, a cute little bow-tie… lots of options!
- For babies, try to choose tops that don’t darken when they get wet (slobber is inevitable with the littlest ones)!
- Avoid:
-
- Black, navy, dark gray… any dark colors
- Ultrabright and neon colors
- Small thin stripes or tiny checkered prints
- Logos or shirts with large writing
-
- Consider allowing your child to pick a favorite outfit within these parameters to capture even more of their personality!
