TLDR: School photo day just for homeschooled kids. 🎉

My 2nd annual school photo event, exclusively for homeschooled kids, is coming up Thursday and Friday, September 10th and 11th. 🎈

These school photos are different than what you're used to - instead of forced smiles and tacky backgrounds, boutique school photos are fun, capturing children's true expressions and personality (see the photos below to see what I mean).

Here's the info:

📅 Dates: Thursday, September 10th, and Friday, September 11th, from 9am-11am ONLY.

📍 Location: Tierrasanta (address sent after booking)

💵 A $20 retainer holds your spot and is applied toward your photo purchase.
You can see my school photo pricing here:

✅ The booking link is below —save your time slot before they’re gone.

A bit about me: I’ve been photographing San Diego families since 2017 as Love Michelle Photography, with dozens of 5-star reviews from happy parents.

I’m fully licensed, insured, and absolutely love working with kids. Can’t wait to meet you and photograph your child!

Moms, have you thought about having professional hair & makeup done for your family photos?

I include it in every session, for several reasons:

-it’s an integral part of the premium photography experience I provide (along with your in-home styling consultation and artwork design and printing). It’s an experience to be enjoyed, letting me handle all the details.

-You are usually the one behind the camera, not in front. When you show up in front of the camera, fully present with your family, those images will hang on your wall and last for decades. Showing up looking and feeling your best gives you that extra boost of confidence that will show through in the final product.

-Let’s face it, mom, you deserve some indulgence. So sit back and relax with that glass of wine while someone handles the curling iron and concealer. You’ll show up that much more relaxed and confident, ready to just an enjoy an evening of fun with your family.

You can read more about why I include hair and makeup, here: https://lovemichellephotography.com/2026/07/07/hair-makeup-family-photos-san-diego/

Hair and makeup isn’t an add on with me. It’s already part of the full experience, alongside your discovery call, your styling consultation, and the custom artwork that eventually lives on your wall.

Fall 2026 dates are already filling, and I’d love for you to experience what a fully curated photography service feels like. Send me a DM, and we’ll talk.

Choosing the right school photographer can make or break photo day, and affect parent satisfaction.

My latest post covers what preschool directors should consider when choosing a photographer, including privacy & security, parent satisfaction, and how easy the photographer makes the process for the school.

Should you have family photos take during your vacation?

My latest blog post answers this question, and though it applies specifically to a San Diego vacation, the general principles apply to anywhere special you and your family visit.

Should you have professional hair and makeup done for your maternity photo session?

Since my maternity sessions include professional in-home hair and makeup, I'll admit I'm a bit biased (hint: the answer is yes).

But I've still written about the pros and cons of it in my latest post, and you can read it here: https://lovemichellephotography.com/2026/05/08/should-you-get-hair-and-makeup-for-maternity-photos/

And thank you to Erin and Mark for graciously letting me use their new maternity portraits here. Doesn't she look just beautiful??

"The only thing I'm really nervous about is that I'm awful at posing. I'm really stiff and it ends up looking awkward."

Samantha is a graduating senior at PLNU, and this is what she told me during our pre-session discovery call when we were planning her graduation photos.

I reassured her that we won't be posing, just running and playing and talking and acting a little silly.

And boy, did she ever kill it! You'd never know from these photos that she was afraid of looking awkward and stiff.

Great job, Sam. And congratulations!

Mamas, did you know you receive professional hair & makeup included with every session, from an artist I send to your home?

I do it because when you finally get to show up in the pictures, you deserve to look and feel beautiful and confident. ❤️
