Portrait day is coming to Bright Start
I’m so excited to capture the joy, curiosity, and personality that makes each of your chldren so wonderfully unique. The days I spend at Bright Start each year are truly among my favorite of the entire year.
I was once a Bright Start parent myself. My children are almost in college now, and I still find myself returning to their preschool photographs with a kind of awe — those small faces, those fleeting years, held onto in a way memory alone never quite manages.
This season, I'm offering a range of options to fit what your family is looking for — from classic printed keepsakes to high-resolution digital collections with full printing rights, all the way up to a framed portrait ready to hang. Whether you want something small to tuck into a frame on the shelf or a complete collection to treasure for years to come, there's a package built for you. And if you just want the group photo and no individual photo session there is an option for that too.
A simple, timeless keepsake — the classic starting point, with the option to add on exactly what you need from our sales gallery.
