hello and welcome to your...

Paloma School Portraits Dashboard

Here are a few important things:

Your photo schedule

Mon 9/30 – Pre-k/Kinder, 1st grade, 7th grade, 8th-12th grade

Thurs 10/3 – 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grade

Thurs 10/3 – Sibling Day (registration required for sibling day)

What is sibling day, you ask?

You can register for a group photo with all the siblings together, and/or you can register for a sibling who is not attending Paloma to have their photo taken. That way you have a matching set. 😊

Registration

This is your chance to communicate all your preferences such as:

Is there someone else who wants to see your child's gallery?
Does your kiddo have any special needs or concerns?
Would you be ok with me sharing your child's image?
Will you be missing photo day and requiring a make up day?
Would you like more of Naomi Boyer Photography (NBP)?

It's a small form, but super important to fill out. Please do so asap!

In case we haven't met...

Hi there, I'm Naomi. Taking photos that will become treasured keepsakes is something of a passion of mine.

Over the years, I've learned a few things about getting a great photo for kids. I've learned that asking kids to smile is a surefire way of getting that frozen deer-in-the-headlights look. I've learned that they need a little bit of silly to bring out the light in their eyes, and they need a little bit of posing as well. This helps them feel cared for and guided through the process.

I've also learned that each child responds in his or her own way, and that's ok! Shy smiles and wondering eyes can be just as beautiful as wide grins and belly laughs.

Teens can naturally be a little more withdrawn and artistic, and I'm happy to provide a portrait for them that reflects just that.

I hope that you love your photos... but more than that, I hope you can join me in celebrating your child for exactly who they are--shy smiles, silly faces, or artistic teens.

How to LOOK YOUR BEST

We will be photographing against a white backdrop, so if your kiddo wears white, they may end up looking like they have a floating head. 😆 For that reason, avoid any white or pastel colors that don't offer enough contrast to the white background.

Dress your child in a nice, clean Paloma approved outfit.

Colors that work especially well are jewel tones and medium-toned clothing. Pastels and darker clothing don't shine quite as much against the white backdrop.

Accessories like necklaces, bows, bracelets, or even favorite stuffies (especially for the younger students!) are great and will infuse personality into your photos.

Make sure they've done their hair before they leave for school. We will have assistants on the lookout for messed up hair, boogers on noses, and leftover breakfast or drool on faces, but it's always good to have a final check at home!

Your gallery will include a variety of images

The goal is to get a mixture of different kinds of emotions and poses from each child.

All images are offered in both color and black and white, so you can pick exactly what you like to print or download.

You will have 14 days to order. and I mean it! 🙃

Online ordering will be available for a period of 14 days.

During that time, you will have LOTS of reminders. Since I pay for the gallery space, I cannot keep albums open indefinitely or fulfill requests to keep re-opening galleries for free. As you may imagine, this causes a lot of extra administration work on my part and I will have to charge you a $25 fee to re-open your gallery... which obviously, I'd rather not do.

So please please pleeeease get all your ordering and your downloading completed within that 14 day period.

Please and thank you!

FYI--There is no charge to the school or the parent for having their child's portrait taken, ensuring that you only pay for what you want to have in your home.
