Greetings Ridgeview Day School Families,
Picture Day is just around the corner!
Wild Ferns Artistry will be at your school:
November 7th, 2025
My name is Beth, and I’m the school portrait photographer with Wild Ferns Artistry. I’m thrilled to capture your children this year and to provide your school with fine art portraits that highlight the authentic personality of every child. My goal is to make the experience personal, simple, and enjoyable for both families and staff—so that photo day feels seamless and memorable from start to finish.
What Are Fine Art School Portraits?
Fine Art School Portraits offer a modern, timeless approach to traditional school photography.
Gone are the stiff poses and busy, artificial backdrops! Instead, children will be photographed against a simple, neutral beige background that keeps the focus on them. Each session is relaxed and child-led…no forced smiles, just natural expressions that reflect who they truly are. The result? Classic, authentic portraits your family will treasure for years to come.
What to Expect on Photo Day
On photo day, classes will visit the portrait area together. Each child will spend about a minute with me as we chat and capture a variety of expressions. This calm, efficient process keeps students comfortable and happy while ensuring everyone has a positive experience.
What Should My Child Wear?
Simple is best! To keep the focus on your child, please avoid large logos, heavy patterns, or bright neon colors, which can distract or affect skin tones.
Solid, neutral, or muted tones photograph beautifully. Though, these days are short and memories really are the goal. I want to photograph what you both love.
How Can I View My Child’s Images?
Your school will receive a link to the online gallery ten days after Picture Day. So be on the look out for an email from them! Each child will have 2–5 images (in both color and black & white) in their own individual album, making viewing and ordering easy.
If you’d like your child’s album to be password-protected for added privacy, please email me before photo day at hello@wildfernsartistry.com, and I’ll be happy to set that up.
How Do I Order?
You’ll have the freedom to choose only the images you love.
Prints, canvas wraps, and digital files can all be purchased directly through the online gallery…no pre-set packages or minimums required.
The gallery will remain open for 14 days, so please be sure to place all orders during that time.
How Will I Receive My Images?
Digital files are delivered instantly—download links are emailed as soon as your purchase is complete.
Prints and products will be delivered to the school within two weeks after the gallery closes to be sent home with students.
This ensures families receive their portraits quickly and conveniently.
Pricing
All tangible products are printed by a professional photography lab to ensure beautiful, true-to-life color and lasting quality. Please note that professional prints may appear slightly different from those produced by consumer labs due to the superior materials and color calibration used.
Pricing is reviewed annually and may vary slightly from year to year. Current pricing is listed below.
I can’t wait to capture your kiddos! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me: hello@wildfernsartistry.com
