Fine Art School Portraits

Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia, District of Columbia

OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A CUSTOM, BOUTIQUE EXPERIENCE TO ALL FAMILIES ATTENDING THE SCHOOLS WHO CHOOSE OLEA & COMPANY LLC TO PHOTOGRAPH THEIR STUDENTS. 

Our service is personal and professional. Unlike corporate photography operations, we only take on a few select schools to provide superior customer service and artistic images.

We aim to capture a child's spirit in front of the camera. 

We never force smiles— incorporate awkward poses or faces. Instead, our goal is to capture the authentic child on picture day. The result is genuine, timeless portraits, the exact opposite of the traditional cheesy photos we have become accustomed to with bright flashes and unflattering, busy backgrounds. Instead, we provide a light and fun experience for your children and take pride in providing an environment where they can naturally relax and be themselves.

All photographers have passed State of Maryland Child Safety Background Checks and are VIRTUS approved.
