Royal Palm Academy Kicks Off “Make-up Day” Season For Splendid In SW Florida

Naples. FL

Students at Royal Palm Academy had school picture Make-up Day and photographers at Splendid Portraits breathed a sigh of relief.

“We’ve been driving pretty hard since late August and now that Make-up Days are starting, the number of students we photograph each day will drop off. We could use the rest.” says Ian E., Photography Manager at Splendid Portraits in Cape Coral.

Calvary Chapel School – Cream & Sugar With That Education?

Sarasota, FL

A ministry of Calvary Chapel Sarasota, CCS provides a “Bible-based, academically sound education for children K4 through 8th grade”… and last Thursday was School Picture Day!

It’s a beautiful school with mural work in the hallways and a fantastic coffee shop in the church lobby. The coffee was voted the best cup of coffee in Sarasota! On top of that, students achieved SAT scores an average of 2.8 grade levels higher than the national norm.

Look out Starbucks because that must be some pretty good coffee.  :)

Thank you Principal Nicholas Summers for allowing us to be a part of your school community.

Maret Group Pictures Taken In Front Of Historic Woodley House

Washington, DC

Maret School, now approaching its 100th anniversary, choose  to photograph it’s students in front of the historic Woodley house on a picture perfect day. 

It’s a technically difficult image because the background is light and the foreground is in the shade.  Splendid photographer Ilse E. did great work.

Happy 100th birthday, Maret!

British School of Washington Faculty Picture

British School faculty pose for their annual faculty picture outside their campus building in August. It’s a technically difficult picture because we take the picture in direct sunlight and everyone needs to be eluminated evenly.  Splendid photographer Ilse E. always manages to pull it off.
