Fine Art School Photography
The Little Whimsy Portrait Co. Way
At Little Whimsy Portrait Co., we offer a boutique, heart-led approach to school photography that honors who your students truly are — not just what they look like.
We partner with a select number of local schools and preschools each year to ensure every child is seen, every family is supported, and every image is handled with care. It’s personal, professional, and thoughtfully paced — a far cry from the rushed, one-size-fits-all approach you may be used to.
No forced smiles or cookie-cutter backdrops. Just clean, timeless portraits that celebrate personality and presence.
Sessions are light, fun, and designed to help kids feel seen so their natural spark can shine. The result? Genuinely joyful, scrunchy-nose, eyes-lit-up kind of photos that families treasure.
Because we believe picture day can be more than a checkbox.
It can be a keepsake.

Looking For:
A custom Boutique Experience
Our goal is to provide a custom, boutique experience to all families attending the schools who have chosen Jen Harvey Photography to photograph their students.
personal & professional Service
Unlike large, corporate photography operations, we only take on a select number of local schools so that we can provide superior customer service and artistic images. But that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on professionalism, quality, or time. We provide a more personal and what we believe to be better experience for both the schools and the families we work with.
to capture the essence of the child
Our aim is to capture the essence of the children in front of the camera. We will never force a smile. No awkward poses or faces, just the authentic child, on that day. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that are far from the traditional cheesy photos we have become accustomed to. We provide a light and fun experience for your children and take pride in providing an environment where the kids can relax and be themselves, naturally.

Frequently asked questions:
Q: What do you offer for schools?
I photograph individual student portraits, group or class photos, and staff images. My approach is simple, natural, and designed to capture kids as they really are.

Instead of stiff poses and forced smiles, these portraits are relaxed and timeless. Each child gets several images to choose from, and families can select the ones they love best.
Q: How do families get their photos?
After picture day, every family receives a private online gallery. Each child will be provided 2-5 images, presented in both color and black and white. From there, they can view the portraits and download or print their favorites. Everything is handled online for ease and convenience. Prints are delivered to the school with in 4wks of picture day.
