Is there really no cost to my center?

Yes. The partnership costs your center nothing. We earn revenue only when parents choose to purchase photos — everything listed on this page is included.

Can you work around our nap time schedule?

Absolutely. We build your entire photo day schedule around your center's routines — nap times, meal times, outdoor time. We adapt to you.

How do you handle children who are shy or scared?

Our photographers specialize in working with young children. We take our time, use fun props, speak softly, and never force a smile. We've won over even the most camera-shy toddlers.

Do you photograph infants and toddlers?

Yes. We have experience with children of all ages, including infants. We use age-appropriate setups and take all necessary precautions for safety and comfort.

What happens if a child is absent on picture day?

Every partner center gets one make-up day included, scheduled 2-3 weeks after the original photo day.
