About Willy Wilson & Life Unstill Photography
I have been a portrait photographer in Denver, CO since 2009, focused on family and business portraiture. With two of my own children and years of working with schools, I am extremely fast and skilled at getting great expression and poses from kids. I have it down to a science! Kids’ portraits are beautiful and families feel proud to hang their school photos in their homes.
About The Experience
WHERE AND WHEN DO YOU TAKE THE PHOTOS?
We use all natural light and will utilize the most optimal parts of your campus given the time of day and direction of the sun. If we are doing your photos indoors, we will find a location that provides enough space for the equipment and backdrop and as much natural light as possible.
WILL YOU OFFER DIFFERENT POSES?
It Depends! Schools who go with the prepaid packages will receive one pose, selected by the photographer. Students at schools using an online gallery will receive a variety of different poses.
WHAT PACKAGES DO YOU OFFER AND HOW DO PARENTS PAY?
As unique as your children and school are, so are our packages. Please contact us so we can provide you with pricing that takes your school’s needs into consideration.
HOW LONG DOES THE WHOLE PROCESS TAKE?
After we take the pictures, it will take approximately 2-3 weeks before proofs are released to the parents online. The ordering of images will be offered for one week after proof release. Prints will then be delivered to school approximately two weeks later.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE THE PROCESS RUN SMOOTHLY?
We will need access to an outdoor or indoor area for our picture days. Office support communicating with the families to let them know photos are coming soon and to help remind them to place their orders. It’s helpful to have staff or parent volunteers coordinate getting kids back and forth to class and helping with clean faces, combed hair, and clothes in order.
DO YOU PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL ON REVENUE?
If you are interested in a revenue partnership, please let us know - package/print/digital pricing to parents will be adjusted accordingly.
IS PARTICIPATION REQUIRED?
Up to you! At some schools, we photograph children by sign up only, and at others, every child. There is no “right” answer to this and depends on the needs of the school for admin photos.
WE ARE ALREADY CONTRACTED WITH A COMPANY - CAN WE STILL WORK TOGETHER?
Yes! While fall is the optimal time for outdoor school photography, many schools already under contract with another company. You can work with us in the spring! Many of our schools start out using a backdrop photography company in the fall and bring us in in the spring for fresh phots and class photos. Spring photos make the great Mother’s and Father’s Day Gifts and class photos are valued by students and staff alike.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
My name is Willy Wilson, I am a fine art photographer. I am a mom with high school kids and I have spent more than 10 years on the PTA (ask me about fundraising!) Capturing your family in photos is something my own family rarely did and I think that makes it that much more valuable to me as an adult. I hope you choose to document your family before the kids are grown!
