Out with the old, in with the new! Smile School Portraits is leading the way in capturing genuine, modern, and fun photos of kids in the Twin Cities Metro Area.

Smile School Portraits was created by a frustrated mom of 3 who was disappointed in the pictures that were coming home from her then four year old preschooler.


“Smile School Portraits was created as a way to bring amazing photos home for amazing kids.”

-Melissa Soto, Founder & Lead Photographer Smile School Portraits


As a new parent to preschool, and wondering if this was the norm, she started a discussion with other moms and found out she wasn’t the only frustrated one. Other parents were feeling the same way. So, instead of talking about it, she decided to do something about it. She was already a family photographer and had the skill to create something modern and genuine for all levels of children. She said, “Every child deserves an image that reflect exactly who they are. If that’s not happening, then let’s change that.” The problem was there wasn’t any options to choose from.

So with a whole lot of photography skills, endless hours of education, a lot of trial and error, followed by heaps of success, she created Smiles School Portraits as a way to bring amazing photos home for amazing kids!

The result? A modern, genuine, FUN approach to school photos. No more cheesy smiles with strange backgrounds. And every school gets happy parents who rave about the genuine and timeless portraits where their child’s personality shines!

If you’re ready to see how we can bring amazing fine art school portraits home to the families you serve in your preschool, childcare center, daycare, or business, then let’s connect. This time is so fleeting! Together we can change how we capture our children.

Amazing photos for amazing kids are only a SMILE away!
