School Photography
in Northern Virginia
Picture it: A picture day that feels organized. No long lines, no paper order forms or QR codes to give out.
Would you prefer to use my modern white backdrop, create a custom backdrop using items from your classrooms, or be out in the school garden? Whatever it is, we'll work together to create a beautiful gallery that represents your community.
Group photos? Love to do them. We can also take sibling photos and special portraits for your graduates.

School Gallery
What To Expect
Fundraising
There is no cost to bring me to your school! In fact, 10% of net proceeds go directly to your school, making picture day a hassle-free fundraiser. If you’re looking for a school photographer who is genuinely invested in our community…you’ve found her.
Convenience
Complete online ordering. Parents can view, select, and purchase their child’s photos online at their convenience, ensuring a stress-free experience from start to finish.
Flexibility
Working in a school comes with enough surprises; your school photographer shouldn’t be one of them! I can pivot quickly to accommodate changes or unexpected circumstances.
Customization
Every school is unique, and your picture day should reflect that. I take the time to understand what works best for your staff and families, ensuring a customized experience that aligns with your school's specific needs.
Communication
When a school or a parent reaches out, they will always receive a personal response from me. I prioritize clear and prompt communication. Whether it’s scheduling, ordering, or any other inquiry, I’m here to help.
Experience
I have been providing the highest quality imagery and products as a school photographer in Northern Virginia since 2016, working with kids of all ages from infants through high school.
Effeciency
I know that instructional time is valuable, and I make every effort to minimize disruptions to the school day. Before picture day, I'll provide a detailed schedule so teachers can plan. My streamlined approach ensures that students are photographed efficiently and return to class as quickly as possible. Say goodbye to long lines!
Privacy
As a fellow Northern Virginia parent and professional school photographer, I take privacy and security seriously. My online galleries are password-protected down to the individual student level, ensuring that only authorized users can view specific photos.
What Schools are saying
I'm Director of Admissions at Children's House Montessori School of Reston and for many years now we have been so very lucky to have Second Ave Photography come to take our Fall and Spring school pictures. Blaire is simply phenomenal and the children absolutely love her. Our students are very young (3 to 6 years of age) and Blaire is able to make them feel totally comfortable. The children love Picture Day and Blaire summons smiles effortlessly. The pictures come out beyond incredible with the natural background of our school gardens.
Parents are always in awe of how supremely beautiful the photos turn out and we always hear comments like: "Oh, I wish all my kids' school pictures would be like these!". Blaire is a true gem and we will be forever using Second Ave Photography for our school pictures.
Tips from a Northern Virginia School Photographer
What Parents Are Saying
"When I heard a non-traditional school photographer was going to be used, I was skeptical at first. Many of us have endured school photos (as if they were a rite of passage). Often staged with (cheesy) props, tilting your head to unnatural angles and poses. When I saw the results of my daughter's photograph I was very impressed and the skepticism faded fast. The photograph reflected back something special about the child, her character and uniqueness came through."
