A BOUTIQUE SCHOOL PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

WELCOME to RECESS

a fresh take on a time-honored tradition

SERVING SCHOOLS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH TEXAS

Redefining picture day for schools.

Picture day doesn’t have to be a dreaded event for your institution. We believe school portrait day can be efficient and stress-free for school staff as well as students without sacrificing on quality of work. With this is mind, we created our modern school portrait program, Recess. We’ve built this program with the goal of creating a fun, enjoyable atmosphere for documenting your students and staff.

Giving parents print-worthy photographs.

As moms, we also think parents deserve beautiful, timeless photographs of their students. We aim to capture each student in a way that their unique personality shines through while still providing our schools with the photographs needed to achieve their yearbook and marketing goals.

The women at Loft Creative are not only gifted photographers, but wonderful people! Our parents rave about the work they do and we love having them around on photo day. They’re organized and kind to our kiddos. Thank you, Recess, for the fantastic work you’ve done the last couple of years!
— Meagan, Director, Freedom Kids Academy
WOW! These are incredible. Definitely not what my school pictures looked like. So impressed by your photography. We will be purchasing soon!

4 Reasons to Bring Recess to Your School

  • PAPERLESS ORDERING

    Gone forever are the days of paper order forms and collecting payments.

    Each student receives a unique online gallery for their parents or guardians to view and order products. Schools are not responsible for any exchange of money or order forms and parents only order after seeing their students portraits.

  • NO MINIMUM ORDERS

    Parents can shop an array of a la carte print products and collections as well as digital download options for future reprinting and archiving.

    We do not require parents to pre-order. They only purchase after they’ve seen their student’s gallery.

  • PARENTS LOVE US!

    Parents rave about the fresh take on the time honored tradition of school portraits. They look forward to having us return each year to capture their student’s portraits.

    “ Loft Creative crushed the school portrait game. First time I have ever ordered an individual school picture!” - Courtney, parent

  • A LOCAL, RESPONSIVE TEAM


    We are not another big box portrait company. Our schools love us because we are locally owned and operated.

    Our team is focused on creating a boutique photo experience that meets your specific needs.

Magaly Rodriguez,
Founder & Head of School, Paloma Montessori School

We LOVE Loft Creative for our school portraits!  We have used their services for the past 2 years and have been happy with their professionalism, kindness, and efficiency! I can’t even explain how wonderful the pictures are, we were blown away by their ability to capture each child’s unique personality. Our school looks forward to having them back for many years to come!”

Because your school isn’t mainstream…your portrait day shouldn’t be either.

You are ready to book Recess when…

  1. Your portrait day experience is lacking organization, communication, and quality photographs of your students and staff.

  2. Your parents are underwhelmed by the past photographs they’ve received of their students.

  3. Big box providers aren’t meeting your personalized needs or necessary level of service for your unique student body.
