The Hillbrook School
Education Marketing Photography in Silicon Valley, CA
Hillbrook School is nestled in the picturesque rolling hills south of San Jose, California. A meandering creek runs through a campus filled with towering oak trees. There’s an outdoor amphitheater, a full learning garden, and many outdoor classrooms.
My first visit to Hillbrook was for location scouting and planning a few weeks prior to our education photography project. Walking around campus with the Director of Marketing and Head of School, I knew the potential for great photo storytelling was incredible.
The school community is vibrant and the mild San Francisco Bay Area climate allows many classes and school activities to be outside. Being a private school with 330 students in kindergarten through 8th grade, we decided that three days of photography on campus would be the ideal amount of time to create a robust and diverse gallery of photographs to support Hillbrook’s branding and marketing efforts.

We help schools tell their visual story. Our creative team has more than ten years of experience photographing for school and education clients all over the world. We understand how to seamlessly blend into the school community to create images that communicate the genuine and unique quality of your students, teachers, faculty, and staff.
Our education photography projects are designed to create a large collection of authentic and genuine images that our independent school clients can use to tell their own story. Most of our school clients use images for their websites, social media, branding, marketing, fundraising, and new student recruitment. Many of our school clients also appreciate having dynamic and artistic images to contribute to their historical archives.

Passionate and captivating photography is a vital element for any modern brand strategy. Our independent school clients use the photos we create together for their marketing, websites, social media, print materials, and as an historical archive. Our images will help shape brand messaging and bolster engagement and enrollment.
We have created dozens of education photography stories all over the world for independent schools, private schools, boarding schools, public schools, universities, colleges, philanthropic foundations, government agencies, and education companies.
