The Process of Working with Tiffany Brooks Studio for School Portraits
The process of working with Tiffany Brooks Studio to provide your school's portraits is straightforward and designed to be as simple and stress-free as possible. Here's what you can expect when you work with us:
Consultation: The first step in the process is to schedule a consultation with Tiffany Brooks Studio. During this meeting, we learn more about your school, your vision for the portraits, and your specific needs and preferences.
Scheduling: Once the consultation is complete, Tiffany Brooks Studio will work with you to schedule a time and best location for the portraits to be taken. We accommodate your available space and will ensure that everything is arranged to your satisfaction.
Portrait session: On the day of the portrait session, our team will arrive at your school and set up the equipment needed to create the portraits. We will work with you and your volunteers to make the flow of the day as unobtrusive to class time as possible. We pride ourselves in getting each class through their portraits in about 15 minutes.
Image Review and Ordering: After picture day, we review the images and select the best ones. These are edited and prepared for the families to view and make their selections. These are then uploaded to our online ordering website, and custom links are sent to each family. They will be available online approximately 2 weeks after picture day. Each family can only view and select from their own children’s photos. Please note that there are no pre-orders. This allows parents the opportunity to view their child’s photos before they purchase.
Delivery: The final step in the process is the delivery of the finished portraits. Once orders have been processed, the packages are delivered either to the school by class, or delivered to the families’ homes if they have selected that option.
Retakes: We schedule picture retake day 3 weeks after picture day for absent children. This also gives parents time to view and decide if they’d like their child to be re-photographed. If necessary, additional retake sessions can be scheduled in the Tiffany Brooks Studio.
Scholarships are available for families in need (determined by the school counselor), and complementary packages are provided for parent volunteers.
Individual portraits are taken in the fall and class photos in the spring (indoors or outdoors).
