What are Modern School Portraits? | Pierce County School Photographer

It’s a new school year and with that comes your kids school photo day. And even though they have been sent off with the best intentions sometimes the photo still comes back lack luster.

Whether there was a wardrobe/hair mishap or the choices of backgrounds and silly poses left you wanting something better for your kids yearly portrait, there is an alternative that you will love and want to hang on your walls rather than just purchasing because, well, it’s tradition.

From one mom to another, I’ve seen my fair share of bad school photos of my kid. Luckily I can redo them myself.

Modern School Portraits with Brooke Holliday Photography will result in portraits of your child that are timeless and bring out their Unique personality.

Modern School Portraits are different than what we have become accustom to at school. The truth is that school photo day can feel so impersonal for kids.


They take a name card and stand in line. When it comes time for their photo they are told exactly how to stand or sit, place they hands or feet and snap snap “next!”

No time is spent to get an authentic portrait.

Let’s face it public schools objective is to get a photo of each student for their admin purposes, so they don’t care if you love the photos and want to buy a photo package.

That’s the difference with Modern School Portraits, I care.

I want to bring out your child’s personality. I want you to love them so much that you hang this years portrait on your wall or mantle. I want you to share it on social media with your friends and family proudly!

I know all to well what getting a bad school photo feels like, for me, and my kid.

So let’s skip the generic school photo package and get a personal and authentic portrait worth the money!


If you want something more personal this year, (because it won’t be just an assembly line of faces), tell your school you want Modern School Portraits with BHP!
