When it comes to school portraits, you want more than a quick photo and a forced smile. You want images that reflect your child’s personality—portraits that feel genuine, timeless, and true to who they are in this season of life.

At Leigh Ann Goodin Photography, families throughout the greater Birmingham, Alabama area experience a custom, boutique approach to school photography. Unlike large, corporate photography companies, only a small number of select schools are served each year. This allows every family to receive attentive care, thoughtful communication, and beautifully crafted images that stand out from traditional school photos.

Portraits That Capture Who Your Child Really Is

Every child is unique, and school portraits should reflect that. Instead of stiff poses and “cheesy” expressions, your child is photographed in a relaxed, encouraging environment where they can be themselves. The result? Natural expressions, real smiles, and portraits that feel authentic—images you’ll love displaying in your home and sharing with family for years to come.

A Fun, Stress-Free Photo Day

Photo day should be something your child looks forward to. The experience is designed to be joyful and easy, helping children feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. When kids feel relaxed and supported, their personalities shine through—and it shows in every image.

Simple Ordering for Busy Families

Your time matters, which is why the ordering process is straightforward and convenient. After photo day, your family receives access to a private online gallery organized by class. Each child is presented with 3–6 thoughtfully edited images, with sibling sets available upon request.

From the gallery, you can choose exactly what works best for your family, including professional-quality prints and digital images for future printing and archiving. All orders are placed online, and finished prints are delivered directly to the school within one month of picture day.

A Seamless Experience for Schools and Families

Everything needed for photo day is handled—from professional equipment and staffing to parent communication and ordering support. Schools are provided with helpful information and reminder content to share with families, making the entire process smooth, organized, and stress-free for everyone involved.

If you’re looking for school portraits that feel personal, polished, and truly reflective of your child, a boutique photography experience makes all the difference.
