Family, Children & Newborn Portrait Fundraiser



Portrait Fundraiser

Fundraiser information:


You can have a beautiful family, or children's portrait and your $50 session fee goes directly to your PTSA fundraiser.

Our normal outdoor family portrait session fee is $150. For your auction fundraiser we’re offering a 66% savings on our session fee. The portrait session fee is just $50. Contact your fundraiser coordinator asap.


The $50 session fee is a donation to your auction fundraiser and the session fee check will be payable to your fundraiser.


Your portrait session can be created anytime through the summer. We’re offer very reasonable a-la-carte-pricing, with a minimum $100 purchase. Please email for a PDF price brochure. Your portrait choices can consist of both family portraits and portrait selections of your children.


Now that you’re all set on creating family portraits, where would you like to go? Outdoor portrait opportunities on the Eastside are unlimited. I have some great portrait locations at local parks, in your back yard, in your formal living room, there are so many choices. The ideas and opportunities are endless. You can include family lifestyle elements like your boat, classic car, high school sports attire, horses, pets and more.


During your family portrait session we can also create separate portraits of your kids. If you have a graduating high school senior we can take several portraits for your graduation announcements. Or, if you have a college grad, kindergarten grad, newborn, or kids of any age, we’ll take some creative portraits of them too.


Contact your fundraiser coordinator to purchase the $50 fundraiser and book your family and children’s portrait session with Plateau Portraits. This is an exciting opportunity and a limited number of dates and times will be available.


Please let us know which family members your portrait session will include.

In planning the portrait session it’s important that you let us portrait prints you would like.


Professional portrait retouching is included on your portrait pose selections.

Clothing tips:


Wear long sleeved garments and long pants. Solid medium tones look the best. Choose earth tone shades of green, brown, khaki, grey and blue. Women can wear more feminine tones like baby blue, magenta, pink, etc. Do not wear too dark or too light colors. Solid colors are always the best choice. Avoid patterns such as stripes, plaids, florals, prints, logos and bright colors.


The goal of any fine portrait is to direct the viewer’s attention to the subjects faces in the portrait. Avoid white shirts and shirts with a white collar, as the white next to the face pulls attention away from the face. Remember, when viewing an image, the eye is drawn to the lightest area of that image, which emphasizes it. Long sleeves are essential, as bare arms call attention to themselves and will overpower the face.


Shoes and socks or hose should match the tone of the outfit, no white shoes or socks.


Avoid wide or particularly deep V-neck garments, turtle necks, as well as bulky cowl neck sweaters that completely hide the neck.


Women being photographed in full length should wear pants, long skirts, or dark stockings in order to keep the eye from being directed toward the legs and away from the face. Men should have their hair cut about one week before the portrait session.


Since 1989 Plateau Portraits has been known for quality portraits on the Sammamish Plateau. We’ve created high quality family portraits, senior portraits, school portraits, First Communion portraits, business portraits and sports team portraits.
