Our Services
Our services starts from the moment we connect about picture day. We’ll discuss your schools needs and how we can best serve you.
Our number one goal is to make your picture day experience - easy peasy, lemon squeezy - because your time is precious and we want you to focus on what you do best. We communicate directly with parents before and after picture day and take the load off your administrative staff.
Let us take all the work out of school picture day and bring the fun back in!
Picture day is as easy as 1 - 2 - 3!

Mom-Owned - We’re local and mom-owned! We are parents and live in your own community. We love being involved in our own child’s activities and many times I see the kids I photograph around the area. We bring that connection to the schools we work with…you’ll see who you talk to on the phone. We love our schools, teachers, and administrators!
TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
We’ve heard from other administrators and they are tired with the same old story of unorganized, unavailable, and outdated companies who promise a great picture day with amazing photos, but don’t follow through on that promise. Does this sound familiar to you? We truly hope not. But if it is, we want you to know that you have another option and we’re here to help.
We are your solution to the picture day problem. Let us take the troubles out and put the FUN back in! If you’re looking to have the best picture day ever, reach out today!

We Make Photo Day Fun Again!
We work with each child individually to capture them in an authentic way. I never force a pose, but rather provide a relaxed, fun environment. The results are genuine and timeless portraits that most wouldn’t associate with a traditional “school picture.” I know the importance of every minute of class time, so I work quickly - each child’s portrait takes between 1-2 minutes.

Online Ordering - Made Easy!
No fumbling around with order forms and collecting payments. Our easy online ordering process makes it simple for parents to order their child’s school photo. And, parents actually get to see what they want to order instead of having a pose chosen for them. Each child’s gallery comes with 3-5 images both in color and black and white.
