Parent Prep Page
Hello! I’m Kelli Horner. Welcome to the Parent Prep Page! Here, you'll find everything you need to get your child ready for picture day and understand what happens after. From tips on what to wear, to how to order prints, we’ve got you covered. Picture day should be stress-free and fun, so take a look around, and let’s make this a great experience for both you and your child! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
What is a Fine Art School Portrait?
Fine Art School Portraits are a fresh take on school photos, ditching those awkward poses and strange backgrounds for something timeless and classic. The backdrop will be simple, putting the focus where it belongs—on your child. Instead of forcing a stiff smile, we let kids be themselves, capturing their natural expressions. Smiles aren’t mandatory; the goal is to capture their personality in a way that feels authentic and real!
What Should My Child Wear?
Avoid graphics, neon, and really busy patterns. Solid colors are the best and all shots will be taken from the waist up.
How Will I Order My Photos?
Two weeks after your child’s photo day, you'll receive an email with a link to the class proofing gallery. There will be 2-5 photos of your child, available in both color and black-and-white. You get to choose which ones to print—I'm just here to make the magic happen! From the gallery, you can easily order prints, canvas wraps, or digital files. The process is simple and secure. The gallery will be live for 7 days, so be sure to place your orders during that time!
I can’t wait to photograph your kiddos! If you have any questions, please email me at kelli@watermelonpiephotography.com
