Children's privacy is our top priority. We do not sell or share any student data with third parties. Ever. You can trust us to handle your school's photo day with the same care and responsibility you'd expect from your own staff.
We offer individual student portraits, class photos, yearbook images, school IDs, and Pre-K photography. We handle everything from arrival to image delivery, making photo day as smooth and stress-free as possible for your front office staff.
We hire what we call "Ninjas" energetic, detail-oriented photographers who are skilled at connecting with children quickly to draw out genuine, natural smiles. This means fewer retakes and happier parents when photos come home.
About Us
At Elevate Snaps, we're more than photographers, we're educators, parents, and people who genuinely care about creating a great experience for schools, students, and families. Owner Michael Nelson is a father of two, a former school teacher, and an entrepreneur who has spent years serving schools and youth organizations through photography. When he's not behind the camera, you'll often find him tackling American Ninja Warrior-style obstacle courses for fun. Michael's background in education gives him a firsthand understanding of the challenges schools face and the importance of organization, communication, and making every student feel valued.
Alongside Michael is Andy Dunn, a father of two, former school teacher, and holder of a Master's Degree in Photography. Andy combines technical excellence with an educator's heart, helping ensure every photo day runs smoothly while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Together, Michael and Andy understand the realities of school life because they've lived them.
Rounding out the team is Maddy Warn, whose positive energy is contagious. With a degree in Broadcast Media and a natural ability to connect with children, Maddy helps students feel comfortable, confident, and excited in front of the camera. Her enthusiasm and warmth often turn nervous smiles into genuine ones, helping us capture authentic moments that families treasure.
As former educators and parents ourselves, we understand that school photography is about more than pictures, it's about creating a positive experience for students, making life easier for school staff, and preserving memories that last a lifetime.
