Renegade School Portraits

Hello, welcome to Renegade School Portraits. This is an alternative to traditional school portraits. The event is open to preschool through high school students on November 8th-10th, 2024. Renegades will be held at Happy Mermaid’s studio (on Hwy 20).

Cost: $38.50 per child. A typical album is 4-5 digital downloads with print release. This means that you can make your own prints.

How to prepare:

Choose a color of clothing that makes your child's eyes and/or skin pop. Do not choose neon colors. Stay away from clothes with words on it.

Hands sometimes get featured. I do not remove fake tattoos or chipped fingernails. Please have your child arrive the way you wish them to look in the portrait. I do remove acne and bruises when possible.

I encourage students to bring a simple prop that they can hold in their hands such as a musical instrument, a stuffed animal, a sport's prop, or a favorite book.

Preschool through elementary students write their name on a blackboard. They do this while they are waiting for their session. Sometimes kids add drawings or doodles. I think the image is much stronger if kids write their first name and leave the rest of the chalkboard blank. Please encourage them to do just that. (See example portrait above)
