Fine art school photography
Want to provide a professional yet fun and unique portrait experience to your school community?
Photo Cred: Jen Joseph Photography
Unlike most large, corporate companies, I provide a relaxed and laid-back environment to schools by connecting with and meeting students where they're at when they appear in front of my camera. My approach is aimed to put students at ease to be their authentic selves for photos.
