Say goodbye to awkward surprises—
our photos actually look like your child (on a good day)!
Welcome to Tove Hansen Photography, where bad school photos are a thing of the past. Based in Mascoutah, Illinois, we specialize in capturing natural smiles and authentic expressions—no stiff, forced grins allowed. Our secret? A little charm, a lot of humor, and just enough silliness to keep even the most camera-shy kids at ease.
We also believe variety is the spice of life (and the key to awesome photos). That’s why we serve up multiple poses for every student, ensuring you have options you’ll love—not just one photo you tolerate.
Browse our site, laugh at our jokes, and see why families rave about the pictures they actually want to frame.

“Hello Tove!!! Yes, 3 exclamations, I can not express how happy we are with the photos you took of our son! It is everything we could have hoped for!

You spoke, we listened.
We’ve been offering school photos since 2016, and one thing is clear: parents everywhere want the same thing—great photos, a smooth process, and no headaches. We’ve spent years listening to parents and school staff, gathering feedback, and understanding the frustrations with traditional school photography. Armed with that insight, we’ve created a fresh, stress-free approach that checks all the boxes.
Each student or staff member we photograph should leave feeling better than they arrived. You can always count on us to hype you up!
We’re pros at working with your school to keep things smooth—minimal disruption, zero admin headaches, and top-notch service from start to finish.
Families come in all shapes and sizes and so do budgets! We offer a range of packages and individual items to suit everyone.
“…[Tove] made each child extremely comfortable as they sat down. She said each of their names, she told jokes, asked them about their favorite things. It was truly inspiring. I don’t think there was a single parent unhappy with the photos and that’s because of Tove.” -MS
