I’m so excited to share this incredibly fun mini-session with you today! When the my homeschool co-op cancelled classes for the upcoming school year, I knew this would be a great way to serve the families in my community! There’s something so special about children’s portraits that I began prepping for these Back to School Portraits!

My Backyard Studio | Children and Teen Modern Portraits

I scheduled these Back to School Portraits sessions over two days and while the weather was hot, the sky was clear and it made for a great time for all of the families! Each family signed up for a 5 minute time slot per child which was a perfect amount of time! The families were in and out in a jiffy! All ages signed up from 4 years old to high school seniors!! I enjoyed the younger kids searching for the rainbow in my lens which gave such cute, inquisitive expressions. While the teens and pre-teens weren’t interested in searching for the rainbow, they were all easy to work with and I had so much fun making them laugh. This was by far a favorite session of 2020!

Since this session was in my backyard, I set up my single-person studio in my shed. I used a black back drop and all the kids stood just inside the threshold. The light from the sun was beautiful from this angle! You can click HERE to see a behind the scenes video of this session in action.

To the each family who came, thank you so much for allowing me to capture these precious memories for you! Your children are beautiful! I can’t wait to do Modern School Portraits in 2021!  You all are first on the list to sign up this year — date in August! Stay tuned!

Enjoy this little peek into this upcoming session summer 2021!

See a family session go here!
