No Outdated Backdrops, Real Professional Photographers,
Easy Online Ordering
82 West Photography takes pride in getting your child's personality to shine through during their portrait session. We employ real professional photographers with backgrounds in early childhood education. Will your child be holding a fishing pole in front of a backdrop made in 1967, no way! We take the children outside and use natural backgrounds that are on par with a high-end family portrait session. We want these images printed on your wall, and we don't move onto the next student until we are confident that you will have great images.
Our Process and Approach
Unlike some of the companies that you have seen photograph your child in the past, we take almost 20 images per student with varying poses. YOU get to decide on your favorite image. We don't require a prepayment method with order forms. We use the best school Photography sales platform on the market. You get to view the password-protected gallery and make the selections that you wish. Modern, Simple, Efficient, Timeless, Beautiful. These are the core values that we have built our business on. We want the process to be smooth for everyone.
