Christmas Photos

On-Site Picture Days

Bring the holiday spirit to your center with professional Christmas portraits. We set up a festive holiday kitchen right in your building, photograph every child (and their families, if you like) with patience and care, and families order beautiful keepsakes online. Your staff stays focused on the kids. We handle the rest.

The Holiday Set

This season's set is a cozy Christmas kitchen, complete with chef hats, "Be Merry" aprons, whisks, mixing bowls and plenty of holiday cheer. Kids get to play, giggle and be themselves, and that is exactly when the best portraits happen.

Kids, Families or Both

Choose the picture day that fits your center. Many families love having their little one's portrait and a family photo from the same season.

Option One

Kids' Portraits

Individual holiday portraits of each child during the school day. Optional class groups and staff photos. Parents never have to leave work.

Option Two

Family Portraits

Short family sessions on the holiday set, scheduled during pickup hours or at a festive Family Photo Night at your center. A sweet way to bring families together.

Most Popular

Both

Kids' portraits during the day plus family sessions at pickup or a Family Photo Night. Families get every holiday keepsake they want from one easy event.

Minimal Disruption

Parent-Friendly Ordering

Each family receives a private, secure online gallery to view and purchase prints, digital files and holiday packages.

How Holiday Picture Day Works

A simple, organized process from the first call to the final delivery.

  1. Step One

    Pick Your Date

    We schedule a free consultation, choose a picture day that fits your calendar and confirm your classroom schedule and setup space.

  2. About 2 Weeks Before

    We Send the Parent Materials

    You receive a ready-to-share parent flyer (printed and digital) announcing picture day, the holiday set and how ordering works. Families who prefer to sit this one out simply let your staff know.

  3. Picture Day

    We Set Up & Photograph

    We arrive early, set up the holiday kitchen and photograph each child, one classroom at a time. Staff photos and class groups are available too.

  4. Shortly After

    Families Get Their Gallery

    Each child receives a card with a personal code to view their private gallery online. No paper order forms or cash for your staff to collect.

  5. Before the Holidays

    Delivery

    Prints are delivered to your center for easy pickup or shipped directly to families. Digital files are downloaded right from the gallery.

Questions Directors Ask

Do not see your question? Call or email anytime.

Is there any cost to our center?

No. There is no upfront cost or minimum order. Families purchase directly from their private gallery, and your center earns 10% of every order.

How long does picture day take?

Each child is usually on the set for just a few minutes. Most centers are finished in a morning, depending on enrollment. We build the schedule around naps, meals and outdoor time.

Are families required to buy photos?

Never. Families can view their gallery with no obligation to purchase anything.

Which children get photographed?

Every child in attendance, unless a family lets your staff know they would like to opt out. We always follow your center's photo and media policy, and families are never required to purchase.

What age groups do you photograph?

Infants through school age. Babies and toddlers are photographed with simple, safe props and a staff member nearby at all times.

How do parents order?

Each child goes home with a card that has a personal access code. Parents scan or type it in to view the gallery and order prints, digital files and holiday packages online.

When will photos arrive?

Galleries are delivered shortly after picture day so families can order in time for the holidays. Prints are delivered to your center or shipped directly to families.

Can staff and siblings be photographed?

Yes. Staff portraits and class group photos can be added to your picture day. Ask us about sibling photos for children enrolled at your center.

Can families be photographed together?

Yes. We offer family sessions during pickup hours or at a Family Photo Night at your center. You can book kids' portraits, family portraits or both.

Do you offer photos beyond Christmas?

Yes. Centers can partner with us year-round for fall pictures, Christmas portraits, spring pictures, graduation portraits and staff headshots. Book one season or all five. There is no long-term commitment required.
