Meet your photographer

Hi, I’m Machel and I am a full-time photographer based in Myrtle Beach, SC. I would like to introduce you to “Schooled - Fresh & Modern School Portraits.” I bring a new experience to the tired school photography that so many of us have learned to accept as the only option. My approach is to capture real faces, real expressions and real personalities that create “fresh & modern” portraits families will cherish for years to come. With schooled your school photos will be more memorable, top quality and not to mention a more FUN photo experience for everyone involved!

I’m not sure if you’ve seen anything quite like this before, so I’m always available to answer any questions. I look forward to working with your kids and your school!

What Should My Child Wear?

Remember, we are bringing a high quality, studio caliber photo experience to your school, so feel free to dress your dudes in dapper duds and your dolls all dolled-up! Solid colors, soft prints (stripes, plaids, flowers), layers and accessories are all great options.

Your children should be themselves. If you think your child might be shy or nervous, feel free to bring their favorite blanket or stuffed animal to accompany them in their photos. Our goal is to capture your child, their personal style and their personality at this moment in time. Whenever they love what they’re wearing, it translates into fun and wonderful images!
