Fine Art Portraits Are...



An alternative to the traditional school portrait that captures the essence of who your child is. There are No forced smiles, weird props, or awkward poses. Actually, it's not a school photo at all:


it's a work of art.

Teens need portraits too!

Since I have a background in education, I use my skills from the classroom to ensure that students of all ages are comfortable in front of my camera. I actually think they even have a little bit of fun hanging out with me for those few minutes.

AT THIS AGE, CHILDREN CHANGE SEEMINGLY OVERNIGHT.

My aim is to capture the essence of your child TODAY.



I often have parents marvel at how genuinely their photos reflect their child's essence.

I will never force a smile, there are no awkward poses - it's just your child, authentically themselves on the day. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are far from the traditional cheesy photos we have become accustomed to with bright flashes and unflattering, busy backgrounds. My background and experience as a teacher allows me to provide a light and fun experience for your child, and I take pride in providing an environment where kids can relax and be themselves, naturally.


My goal

is to provide a custom, boutique experience to all families attending the schools who have chosen K. Manchuck Photography to photograph their students. 

My service is personal and professional.

Unlike large, corporate photography operations, I only take on a few select schools so I can provide superior customer service and artistic images.


What services do you offer?

I am a completely online operation. Families are linked to password-protected online ordering galleries. Galleries are set up according to grade, homeroom, advisory, or whatever grouping which makes sense for the school. 


Each child will be provided at least 2-5 images, presented in both color and black and white. The family may choose the photos they want printed, as opposed to having a pose chosen for them.


I also provide boutique product choices such as canvas gallery wraps and digital images for future printing and archiving. A detailed PDF describing all ordering procedures and shooting day preparation will be provided to each school to be distributed to families prior to photo day.


Prints are ordered online and delivered directly to the school within four weeks of picture day. 


I provide all equipment and personnel needed for photo day.

I provide the school with all high resolution digital files to use for yearbooks, website, school advertising, school ID's, or however the school wishes to use the images.

I handle any questions from parents and families about ordering and products.

I take staff and class photos depending on the school’s needs.

I am willing to work with schools to provide custom services that fit your unique needs.


How many students can you accommodate?

I have worked with as few as 60- 100 students, but can accommodate many more. Due to the organization and efficiency with which I run my school portrait program, I am able to accommodate many students without effecting the quality and customer service I provide.

Are your portraits expensive?

I have competitive rates and nothing is due up front, all profit is made from ordering. I offer a variety of collections and a-la-carte products to fit everyone's needs. CLICK HERE request a sample price sheet (*please note, prices are subject to change). 


What time of year do you conduct fine art school photo shoots?

I work with each individual school to schedule shoots any time during the academic year. Click here to see the next open date.
