Hey There, I’m Laura!

I am a photographer based in Utah County with over 15 years of experience photographing children!

Rather than forcing an expression, I encourage students to be themselves, whether that be silly or somber, I know parents will love these natural and genuine portraits of their children!

HOW IT WORKS:

STEP 1:

First we’ll have a call to discuss important points like the size of your class, if you’d like class group photos or teacher photos, etc. Then we’ll schedule an on site visit to select a location for photos, and finalize your photo day schedule. I’ll provide your school with handouts and a personalized website detailing how families can prepare for picture day.

STEP 2:

On school picture day, I’ll arrive before our planned start time to set up the photo area. We’ll work together to bring each child to the photo area with clean faces, ready to have fun photos taken. I work hard to have the least disruption to their school day as possible.

STEP 3:

All student photographs will be delivered via an online gallery for families to share, enjoy, and from which they can directly order all print and digital products. Digital products are delivered immediately to email inboxes after purchase, and print products are sent to production and delivered through the mail right to the family’s home. No need for pesky order forms or paper work.

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS

  • Although I have a personal preference for early fall, scheduling school photos can be scheduled any time throughout the year that best works for your schedule and curriculum.

  • For Preschool Directors, me coming and photographing your students costs nothing.

    Parents receive my special school pricing that is affordable for families. I offer a la carte products as well as bundled packages.

  • I am able to work with smaller classes (6-8 kids) to larger classes (12-14 kids). With larger classes I do recommend doing a class collage (individual portraits of the students digitally combined) rather than a whole group photo.

  • All equipment is provided by me. I do sometimes need an extra set of hands when it comes to organizing and guiding children to the photo area.

  • Each student will receive several portraits in both color and black and white. All products can be ordered directly from each student’s gallery. Digital products are delivered via email immediately. Print products are produced then mailed directly to the parent.

  • Yes, I provide multiple wallet size prints of each student to be used for Christmas or Mother’s Day Gifts. I also give a class picture or class collage to each teacher.

What are Fine Art School Portraits?

Instead of cheesy backdrops and even cheesier smiles, I use simple backgrounds flattering lighting, and simple prompts for your students, resulting in genuine expressions and timeless treasures your families are sure to cherish for generations to come!

What Other Preschool Directors are Saying:

“I am an owner and operator of a preschool in Spanish Fork, Utah. We have had the great opportunity to have Laura photograph our preschoolers for the last two years. It has been amazing! Laura is so great to work with, she is quick, efficient, and has an amazing way of catching each child’s personality. Laura has also given me wallet size prints to use for Christmas gifts and Mother’s Day gifts. This has been such a time saver. The best part is she comes to you! She sets it up so that the pictures can be taken during class time. I cannot say enough good things about this photographer! I will always use her services in the future.”

-Carli Jarvis, KidCo Preschool

“Laura Watts Walsh has been doing photography for Whisper Creek Preschool now for several years! Her pictures are absolutely darling and are the highest quality! The parents have been so pleased with their pictures! Laura is a five star photographer and I would highly recommend her!”

- Terri Michels, Whisper Creek Preschool

Behind the Scenes:

I use a very simple set up of one light and a gray or white background and sometimes a box fan to make that hair look fabulous! Because I use artificial lighting, I am able to photograph your preschoolers even in the darkest corner or on the snowiest day!
