Happy Mermaid’s School Portraits:

Each Session is about three minutes long. All students are photographed against a classic black background. 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 them.

Hands sometimes get featured. I do not remove fake tattoos or chipped fingernail polish. I do remove acne and bruises when possible.

The students start by writing their names on a chalkboard. The beauty of this photo is that each year the child’s handwriting changes. It’s fun to document those changes!

Next, we move on to a photo with a simple prop the child brings with her. This can be a favorite book or toy.

Lastly, we take photos without props to capture various expressions and poses. Each child receives 3-5 edited images in an album for parents.
