Back-to-School Portraits with Style | Now Booking Picture Day Minis in Tallahassee

Elevated Tallahassee Back to School Photos

Sarah Gray Photography is now booking Tallahassee back-to-school photos—designed for families who appreciate clean, timeless portraits with a luxury feel.

The backpacks will be full, excitement on the horizon, a new year of growth charts to measure on the wall. After they’ve met their teacher at orientation, and before you send them off to school, let’s take the back-to-school picture that you REALLY want to share on that first day and to mark the start of a fresh year.

Let’s make this year different.

Why elevated back-to-school photos?

  • there’s no morning rush to grab that first day photo as everyone is rushing out the door. I have plenty of less-than-stellar facial expressions from my kiddos over the years.
  • beautiful, simple, backdrop that lets your kiddo’s personality shine
  • what better place than our favorite… the Old Bradfordville Schoolhouse
  • edited and ready for you before the weekend’s end
  • option to purchase prints

Checked off your list before the chaos hits.

Mom post here:

I am teary eyed as I type this. Today was the last Elementary Chapel for this 5th grade class (my son’s class). During this “Legacy Chapel” they passed the leadership plaque down to the 4th graders as they prepare to be next year’s lower school leaders.

I am so proud of our current 5th graders. This class has navigated more than anyone would have ever imagined and they have a unique bond amongst each other on this side of those collective pains. They started Kindergarten the year of the pandemic and have seen firsthand the hurt of sickness and death in this fallen world. 

Still, they are joyful, playful, hard working, and compassionate in a way that constantly surprises me. No doubt that God has great things in store for them; and our school community is beyond blessed to have each and every one of them and their families as a part of it.

Class of 2033, let’s go!
What my portfolio doesn't tell you about me
When was the last time you looked at an old family photo and thought, 'I wish fewer people were in this'?

Probably never.

That is exactly why I always say yes when families ask whether they should include the grandparents, the cousins, the aunt and uncle who are only in town for a few days.

When you are not sure, say yes anyway. We will find a way to make it work.
