What Sets Us Apart?
iPhotoSchools is a local company redefining the school picture day experience. Our goal is to provide a local alternative to the mass market giants currently dominating the class photo industry. Because we live and work within the same community every day, we are more in tune and more responsive to the needs of our customers. Unlike our competition, we see our customers every day — a powerful additional incentive to make sure we provide quality photos and terrific customer service. By doing our best every single photo day, we find it easier to keep our heads up and make eye contact when we go to the grocery store or out to see a high school football game.
We are local
And we like it that way - our customers know us by name and have our cell phone number
We give back
We work to give back to the schools and organizations we partner with.
We care
We live here, our kids grew up here - that is the best incentive to care!
At iPhotoSchools, we want to be sure we are collaborating with each school we partner with individually.
Every school is different and we will always do our best to accommodate your students and staff to make for a successful and stress-free photo day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the photography date, we will ask your school to supply us a student list. This list should include name, grade, homeroom and teacher’s name. We would like to have the file for this information via email. The file format should be Excel, comma delimited.
A suitable place for picture taking would be: gym, stage, library, and empty classrooms (without desks). Our photography setup takes an area of 15 x15 feet. This allows us enough room for students to move through the process and create a smooth picture day. We are happy to stop by your school to see what would work best for everyone.
The average class of 25 students takes approximately:
K-2nd: 25 min.
3rd-6th: 20 min.
7th-12th: 15-20 min
Note – we do not rush the students through, but take our time to make sure we get a good photo. This is especially true for the younger kids that can be quite concerned with the big lights, people they don’t know etc.
Classes should arrive at the photographer in an orderly fashion with the help of a teacher present. Students should come to the photographer with the picture envelope in hand.
Yes, although we do not make picture day the school’s responsibility, the day will move along smoother with the school’s help. In many cases the school will provide a staff member or volunteer to help coordinate the flow of children. We welcome any participation, knowing this will only help to make the picture day experience go more smoothly.
We photograph all students regardless. Photos will be used for the yearbook, and this keeps the student from feeling left out.
