Over the years, I’ve photographed students, faculty, and campuses at private high schools nationwide. And I must say—it’s some of the work I love most.
Why? Because private schools aren’t just about academics or athletics—they’re about community, character, and stories waiting to be told. Each student has a journey, each classroom has energy, and every campus has a personality. My job as a photographer isn’t just to “take pictures”—it’s to capture those stories in a way that feels authentic, vibrant, and inviting.
When I photograph private schools, I get to focus on the things that make them unique: the quiet moments of a student engrossed in study, the laughter on the sports field, the camaraderie during arts performances, and even the small details that hint at tradition and culture. These are the visuals prospective families connect with—they want to see what life is like, not just a posed brochure.
I’ve found that recruitment photography is best when everyone on campus feels relaxed and natural. That’s why I take the time to build trust, observe fundamental interactions, and let moments unfold naturally. The result is a gallery that not only looks professional but actually communicates the heart of the school.
Over the years, I’ve worked with many schools to create visuals that elevate their recruitment efforts. From day-in-the-life photo sessions to capturing special events, I aim to tell a story that draws viewers in and makes them feel part of the community before they even set foot on campus.
Below, I’m excited to share a few examples from my work—photos that perfectly capture the essence of the schools I’ve photographed. Each image represents not just a moment frozen in time, but a story waiting to be discovered by future students and families.
Photographing private high schools isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. And nothing excites me more than helping these schools show the world who they are, one authentic, compelling image at a time.
