Dear Rawson Saunders caregivers, students and staff:

I am delighted to be back at your school for photos this year! If you are new to the school, this may be a different experience that you have had in the past with school portraits, as I am a small business solo-entrepreneur family and school photographer. For more information about how your school photos will work this year, read on below. Please feel welcome to reach out to me directly with any questions you may have about school picture day.

2023 School Picture Day:

Thursday, September 21st

What to expect from Picture Day at your school with Captured Austin?

  1. Respectful and fun interactions to bring out the best in your kiddo

  2. High-quality portraits from a talented and established local photographer

  3. Multiple poses/images to choose from in color and black and white

  5. A variety of prints, products and digital files to suit your needs

  6. Attentive and courteous customer service!

what are modern school portraits?

Modern school portraits are heirloom-quality professional portraits free of cheesy or ornate backgrounds, forced smiles, or props. These photos capture each child's unique personality in a way that parents treasure. 

how does it work?

A couple of weeks after picture day, you will receive a link to the photo gallery and will view your student’s photos in a password-protected online album, where you will be able to place orders for digital files and/or prints and products. Most student galleries will have a variety of images to choose from, and you can mix images within a print package. No minimum order is required! Your digital file purchases will be delivered immediately, while prints will be delivered to the school after the ordering deadline.

what should students wear for their photos?

Since I aim to create a beautiful timeless portrait of your child that you will display in your home, I highly recommend nice but simple clothing and hairstyle choices. Many parents end up ordering large prints or canvases, so you may consider the area in which they might be displayed, or colors that coordinate between siblings if you might display both portraits together. Almost all colors are fine, but I do recommend steering clear of large logos or neon.
