School & Playgroup Portraits
We endeavor to create photographic images that capture the true essence of children in their learning environments, with all of the props (tools, toys, books) and sets (playgrounds, play rooms, and classrooms) that fill their childhood. By entering into the child's world we are able to record realistic photographs that are touching, beautiful, and truly unique.

Portraits with Personality
The candid portraits let the children's personality show through. They demonstrate the wonder and joy of childhood without the forced smiles of traditional school portraits.

No Class Disruptions/No Posing
Henry spends approximately one hour in each class or small group, working much like a photojournalist, blending into the environment as much as possible. A camera is the only equipment used. No lights, no backdrops, no tripods, just your students in their environment participating in their regular classroom activities.

No Cost
There is no cost to your school or playgroup. Parents and teachers may order if they choose, after they have seen the proofs.

No Hassle
Parents can review proofs on a password protected website created just for your school or playgroup. Orders can be collected in the classroom (in the envelope provided), sent directly to Dodgen Photography or placed online. Completed orders can be delivered to the school or directly to the child's home.

Staff Discount
Staff members and the school will receive discounts and promotional material on all playgroup orders. Yearbooks are also an option.
