    It’s picture day – their way.

    What makes my Bay Area children’s portraits different from the rest? My portrait events and school picture visits usually take place outdoors in natural light. Through my quick and easy “mini sessions,” kids from babies through high school seniors can be that best thing of all — themselves!

    Why parents love my kids portraits:

    • You’ll have a variety of authentic expressions and types of shots to choose from in both color and my custom black and white versions (see portfolio below).
    • You’ll have the opportunity to overlap siblings for a few photos together as well as get solo photos of each when you book consecutive time slots.
    • There is no sitting fee to participate, and high-res digitals and professional print packages start at $40 each.
    • You can view, favorite, and order easily through your child’s private online gallery.
    • You can purchase high-resolution digital images with instant delivery, with a photographer’s print release to create your own prints, cards, or photo gifts where you like.
    • You can order the same professional quality prints available for my family photo session and senior portrait clients with significant discounts I can only offer through school groups and special events.

    If you’re looking for an elevated alternative to traditional school pictures in the greater Berkeley / El Cerrito region of the East Bay Area, please read on to see how you can sign up your child for my portrait events, book a picture day for your preschool or parents’ group.

    More Praise from Parents …

    “I have gone to Shelly for portraits of my girls for 3 years in a row now and am always delighted with the results. Shelly has a very calm approach and they always warm up to her, even if we start the day feeling shy. She’s always flexible with them and they can relax… Shelly’s prices for a full gallery are very reasonable, and we have made a tradition of getting them made into photobooks to send to our family overseas …”

    – A.C., Google 5-star review

    “Shelly is a true professional and a fun photographer to work with! She did so well with our girls and made their personalities shine through in the photos that she took. Luckily, our preschool booked her twice for photos (one just preschool kids, another one for siblings), and both sets of photos were amazing! Her prices for the photos are reasonable too. I really enjoy Shelly’s photo style and would highly recommend her as a photographer for anybody looking for special photos.”

    – W.C., Google 5-star review

    “Shelly captured the essence of my daughter in her photo shoot! Friends and Family have complimented her work.
    Thank you and I highly recommend.”
