Hello Inly Families

I'm Heidi Harting of Heidi Harting Photography.

For those of you who don't know me, I have had the pleasure of photographing Inly students for the past 16 years. I have always approached school portraits the same way I do my private commission family/child portraits. My goal is to deliver a beautiful portrait of your child that you will treasure not just this school year, but always.

What to Wear

  • There are no right or wrong colors, wear what looks best but please avoid slogans and large logos.
  • The day may be chilly so be sure and include a sweater that will compliment the outfit that your child can manage by themselves.


Hair

  • Please send your child to school with their hair styled as you/they like it.
  • We do not restyle hair but with a fresh comb will comb flyaways.

Glasses

  • We can reduce glare but transition lenses (light to dark) will look like dark sunglasses. Please send an alternative option or consider no glasses.

Sibling/Family Portrait Details & Tips

We are happy to offer sibling portraits after school on Monday, September 19th from 3:30-4:30pm & Wednesday, September 21st from 3:30pm - 4:30pm (sign-ups will be available via Sign-Up Genius).

This is the perfect time to update your children's smiling faces together and get images for your holiday card. You will have two images to select from.


Please note: It is the parent/caregiver’s responsibility for bringing children to this photo session. Teachers are not able to bring students, even if they are registered for after-school programs.


  • While waiting your turn, this is the time to get your children ready by combing hair and wiping faces.
  • If snacks are given: we recommend nothing messy or staining: water, apples, grapes, fruit snacks, plain popcorn are all photo friendly.

FAQ

What if it rains on my child's scheduled Portrait Day?

You will be notified by the school as early as possible if the weather is not suitable for Portrait Day and given the new date.

What if my child has blemishes?

All images are lightly retouched at no additional charge when necessary so that you will receive a portrait that you will cherish forever.

What if my child is absent?

Don't worry! Every child will be photographed.

Do you offer make-up days?

I do my very best to capture your child's personality and typically do that in one if not all the poses. You will have several images of your child to select from. If that expectation has not been met, then of course I will rephotograph your child. My goal is to deliver a beautiful portrait that you will treasure forever.
