Fine Art School Portraits in Baltimore, MD
My goal is to provide a custom, boutique experience to all families attending the schools who have chosen Niki Jones Photography to photograph their students.
My service is personal and professional. Unlike large, corporate photography operations, I take on a few, select schools so that I can provide superior customer service and artistic images.
My aim is to capture the essence of the children in front of my camera. No awkward poses or forced smiles, just the authentic child, on the day. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are far from the traditional cheesy photos we have become accustomed to with bright flashes and unflattering, busy backgrounds. I provide a light and fun experience for your children and take pride in providing an environment where the kids can relax and be themselves, however they're feeling that day!

WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
This is a completely online operation. Families are linked to password-protected online ordering galleries. Galleries are set up according to grade, homeroom, advisory, or whatever grouping that makes sense for the school. Each child will be receive 2-5 images, presented in color and black and white. Families chose the photos they want printed, as opposed to having a pose chosen for them. I also provide product choices such as canvas gallery wraps and digital images for future printing and archiving.

What are other schools saying?
Niki has been taking our preschool photos for 3 years, and she is amazing. She is kind and patient with the kids, knows how to get a smile, or when to wait and let the child warm up to her for a picture. Her pictures are filled with light and personality. The class pictures are also well done. The turnaround time for pictures is short; her website for ordering is easy to follow.
In short, you won't be disappointed. - Laura R., Director of Baltimore area preschool
