School photography that feels as good as it looks
To get great pictures of anyone, whoever is being photographed needs to feel comfortable and relaxed. That’s why we believe in working harder to give everyone a chance to feel good. So rather than uncomfortable, forced poses, the result is great pictures, full of life, personality, natural expressions and real smiles.
Easy for schools, fun for students, and loved by parents.

Our fresh approach
We’ve built our reputation on doing things differently
We find talented photographers who really connect with people. Photographers who know how to create the right mood in the room. We like to play music and work hard to make sure everyone is relaxed and feeling good. It makes photo day upbeat, fun and enjoyable for everyone. And of course it shows in the pictures.
And it’s not just on the day that things feel a little different. A designated account manager will give you all the support you need; before, during and after each visit, to help ensure everything runs smoothly from beginning to end .
What people say
“Absolutely love this company. It supplies all the photos at the school my kids go to and any time I have ever had an issue (or needed my kid photoshopped in because they weren’t in school that day) they have always been wonderful. Their customer service is second to none!”
My children’s school has been using them for the past 15 years. To be honest their customer service is amazing and they’ve been so easy to contact. One year the school tried another photography company, and it was a disaster. All the parents complained.
Professional, reliable, and good service. My recent inquiry (even though it was about pictures from some time ago) was supported very fast.
“I absolutely love the portraits. They truly capture the essence of each child”
Cheryl Rogers, Principal, The Cushman School
