Baltimore School Photography
Niki Jones Photography
Modern, fun, and stress-free portraits for Maryland schools and co-ops
My goal? For parents to look at their child’s school photo and think, “That’s my baby. That’s the smile I see at bedtime, the nose crinkle when they belly laugh."
I want every image to feel familiar and true to who their child really is.
My approach to school photography is rooted in connection. I offer a personalized, boutique experience that feels nothing like the rushed, one-size-fits-all photos we grew up with.
Every child deserves to be seen, not just posed. I take a few unhurried minutes with each student to create space for real smiles, quiet confidence, and personality to shine through. No harsh lights, no busy backdrops, just honest, beautiful portraits that reflect who they are in this season.
BOOK YOUR SCHOOL ANY TIME OF YEAR
If I could give 10 stars I would. Niki is absolutely amazing! We’ve gotten school photos done by her on two separate occasions and the results are stunning. Our shy and timid little guy’s true personality shines through in Niki’s work. She has a way to capture the true personality of a child and it’s beautiful.

Baltimore School Photography FAQ
WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
I provide the same services and products as large commercial studios, but with a more personalized and genuine approach. In addition to individual and class portraits, staff headshots, digital files for internal school use, IDs, and more are available.
Each child receives 2-5 images, presented in color and black and white, within the school’s private, password protected gallery. Families chose the photos they want printed, as opposed to having a pose chosen for them. Families can choose a la carte prints and/or digital files as well as print packages. A private page especially for your school, describing all ordering procedures and picture day preparation, is provided to each school to share with families prior to picture day. This is a completely online operation.
Prints are ordered online and delivered the school within four weeks of picture day.
I provide all equipment needed for photo day.
I handle any questions from parents and families about ordering and products.
I take staff and class photos depending on the school’s needs.
I work with Baltimore schools to provide custom services that fit your unique needs.
HOW MANY STUDENTS CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE?
I provide this service to schools as small as 45 children and schools with as many 200 students. I have experience photographing children from birth to high school.
IS THIS EXPENSIVE?
I have competitive rates and nothing is due up front. Parents purchase exactly what they want when ordering. I offer a variety of collections and a-la-carte products to fit everyone's needs.
I also donate 10% of gross profits to the schools and groups that work with me!
WHAT TIME OF YEAR DO YOU SCHEDULE PICTURE DAY?
I work with each individual Baltimore school to schedule shoots any time during the academic year.
"Niki has been taking our preschool photos for three years, and she is amazing. She is kind and patient with the kids, knows how to get a smile, or when to wait and let the child warm up to her for a picture. Her pictures are filled with light and personality. The class pictures are also well done. The turn around time for pictures is short; her website for ordering is easy to follow. In short, you won't be disappointed."
