2026-2027 School Year
Fall School Portraits UPDATES


For those who do not know me, I am the school photographer for five area schools, located in Sheridan, Daniels, and Roosevelt Counties. I am also the mother of two teenagers—one who graduated last year and the other, a high school sophomore. I love photographing children and value the joy they bring. My focus is on making every child feel comfortable and seen on picture day. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where everyone can be themselves. The best part of my job is witnessing kids’ pride in their smiles, their excitement about their selected outfits, and the kindness they show each other.
This fall, I’m bring some new updates!! These include updated training, improved software, and a refreshed setup. All are aimed at making picture day an even more positive experience for every family and school.
I’m excited to finally add a new tethered setup that lets students see their photos instantly on a screen in front of them. This will be grade-specific to avoid distractions for younger children. Picture day will become an interactive, reassuring experience. Parents will also be able to view images online faster, making the process smoother and more enjoyable.
Starting in August, I’ll be offering a prepayment discount, just as I did last year. I will also give you a preview of the new system and image quality, so everything feels familiar and comfortable ahead of time. Because retakes have been so rare—occurring in fewer than 1% of all photos, mostly due to scheduling conflicts—retakes for Westby, Medicine Lake, and Froid Schools will now take place at my studio alongside Plentywood retakes. This applies unless there are more students absent.
In addition, this year I will be offering new products, including fully customizable student and staff ID cards (see example photo) with your school’s logo! These cards are made of PVC plastic.
With all these improvements, I hope to make picture day as smooth and stress-free as possible for everyone, as well as much faster turnaround times!
