Preschool Portraits - Frequently Asked Questions - Bay Area Preschool Photographer
When new schools reach out inquiring about preschool portraits, they typically ask the same questions. Here are some FAQ’s in my emails:
What is your fee if we hire you? I’m FREE! My profit is from print/digital sales :)
What areas do you travel to? I typically work with schools within 20-30 miles of Los Altos, CA. However, if a school is located further, I will charge a traveling fee.
What is your processing time? I am to have galleries sent out to families within 7 days of photo day. Galleries remain open for 7-10 days. Print packages will be delivered to the school within 2-3 weeks.
How much time do you spend with each child? I typically spend anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the child. Some children take a bit longer to engage with me and some are ready to chat right off the bat!
How much room do you need to set up? I need enough for a small stool, some shade and a few feet of space. I do not bring in any external flash, stands, reflectors or large props. My gear and space are both minimal.
Are you contracting with new schools? Yes. I still have room in my 2024-2025 calendar to add a few more preschools in the fall and in the spring. I currently work with preschools in Los Altos, Saratoga, Menlo Park, Woodside, and San Jose.
