In 1921, S. P. Barksdale was a young man in Philadelphia selling photos and ads door to door. Working for a local magazine, began calling on schools and other clients to sell photos. Thereafter, the equivalent of the modern school portrait was born. Quality school portraits span the test of time beautifully.
While school portraits have been a custom around the world for more than 100 years, the subject matter has reliably stayed the same.
It is not uncommon to see generations of school family photos on special occasions and on social media.
Capturing moments in time requires quality and sincerity. Taking the time to administer patience and detail to a lifelong passion, shows up in the results.
School Portraits by Adams photography has decades of reliable and quality service. Updating equipment and tools to meet the needs of modern school portraits, fits the description of a team that is squarely focused on the results.
Every Child is Unique
The interaction with every child is a singular event. Engaging with your child and getting to know them for a brief moment in time, really represents our dedication to quality school portraits.
Take for example, the backgrounds chosen to accent your child’s portrait is carefully selected to balance light, a variety of skin tones and the rainbow spectrum of clothing choices, each parent will make on school picture day.
While most people don’t even consider such an overlooked detail, it matters. We’ve reviewed high school portraits from the early 1920s and the 1940s and the attention to detail remains consistent.
Musing at the high school of your grandmother usually brings a torrent of feelings and memories. The same musing will envelope you and your children’s children over the next generation.
With that said, skipping picture day seems simply unthinkable. Choosing a quality company can and will make all of the difference not only now, but for years to come.
Modern school portraits are not on trend but, factor in the latest technological advances to ensure that your photos are the best that we can offer.
