Individual Portrait Sessions
Portrait day is coming to Bright Start, and I’m so excited to capture the joy, curiosity, and personality that makes each of them so wonderfully themselves. The days I spend at Bright Start each year are truly among my favorite of the entire year.
I was once a Bright Start parent myself. My children are almost in college now, and I still find myself returning to their preschool photographs with a kind of awe — those small faces, those fleeting years, held onto in a way memory alone never quite manages. All of the pics on this page are my kids :-)
This season, I'm offering a range of options to fit what your family is looking for — from classic printed keepsakes to high-resolution digital collections with full printing rights, all the way up to a framed portrait ready to hang. Whether you want something small to tuck into a frame on the shelf or a complete collection to treasure for years to come, there's a package built for you. And if you just want the group photo and no individual photo session there is an option for that too.
All Sessions Must be Booked By September 30, 2026
