Paperless Process

Experience the simplicity and ease of a completely digital solution from beginning to end. No more need for dealing with stacks of paper order forms, complicated payment processes, printed proofs, and time-consuming photo returns. We offer the smart solution for school photos. 

Professional Photographers

We work with professional child photographers from your community.  We make sure the photographers have appropriate equipment, match our photography style, have fully established local portrait businesses and pass a complete background check.  We then train them to use our system.

Your School
As the Backdrop

We use your school’s grounds and facilities as the backdrop in order to capture authentic photos tied to the environment that nurtured your students’ education. This creates albums of beautiful, meaningful pictures for your students and families.

Environmentally Friendly

We designed a process that prioritizes conservation, within the framework of the school photography industry. Our process is completely paperless, except for purchased prints. Our outdoor, natural light style allows for a reduction of energy and equipment. And, our administrative teams work remotely, resulting in fewer cars on the road and reduced energy usage.

Online Ordering

Empower families with a fun and flexible online shopping experience. They can customize print packages to their preferences and choose from a wide variety of fun templates. Orders are sent directly to homes.  And, OUR Customer Support Team will handle any questions or concerns directly with families, leaving your staff to higher priorities.

Happy Staff. Happy Students. Happy Families.

Your staff will be happy to not be spending time managing a school picture company. Your students will be happy having some freedom to show personality, thanks to our multiple poses and more relaxed vibe.  Families will be happy creating prints of exactly what THEY want, not limited, rigid options decided on by a photography company. All that makes you happy, which makes us happy!

I just wanted to send my sincerest THANK YOU for everything you do. I often complain about some vendors, but with Schoolhouse it is the complete opposite and cannot sing your praise enough.

I loved how the pictures are like a mini photo shoot, rather than the typical school head and shoulders shot on a blue background.

ParentNew Jersey

Working with Schoolhouse Pictures has been a great experience. They make everything easy from scheduling the photographer to designing the yearbook. Our representative is easy to work with and very responsive. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Schoolhouse.

Richmond Friends SchoolIndiana

These pictures are perfect. We so appreciate your time and energy. They all look fantastic!!! Also, thanks for taking such great pics of [my daughter] this year. She keeps looking at the first one and saying ‘My eyes look so blue’. It is wonderful to have her feel so good about herself. You know with your own teenagers how self critical they are.

You are a delight to work and converse with, you're organized, you provide exceptional customer service to not only the students and families, but our team as well. I wish everyone we worked with was as professional and diligent as you.

We could not be happier with Schoolhouse Pictures! Our team was wonderful to work with. They were extremely accommodating, approachable, professional, and worked great with our students. We received positive feedback from our parent constituents and had the largest amount of portrait purchases in all my years here. Schoolhouse lives their mission and I can honestly say they truly exceeded my expectations. I would recommend them to any school looking for a high-quality product and 5-star service.

School AdministratorPennsylvania

Thank you very much! I appreciate your time and effort you've put in to helping me out the last few days. You have impeccable customer service.

ParentTexas

Schoolhouse Pictures is an amazing company. Our Montessori day care uses them and I can honestly say that they have a fantastic team to work with! The photographers are always punctual and professional, and the pictures speak for themselves. Our parents are always very happy and subsequently so are we. I can't recommend Schoolhouse pictures enough!

Montessori Childcare AdministratorNew York

You are an excellent customer caring business and I needed to tell you so you know it’s appreciated. Not only did we receive the photos I ordered in record time but you listened to my request for portrait placement. Would that all businesses operated in the same fashion!

ParentFlorida

We have enjoyed working with Schoolhouse Pictures for the past five years. We have always experienced excellent service with Schoolhouse. They work well with our school community by always being respectful, responsive and professional. The pictures taken of our school, students, faculty and staff have always been exceptional. We are very happy to have these moments captured by Schoolhouse Pictures!

Montessori SchoolTexas

WOW! Thank you for that incredibly quick reply! I just placed the order and immediately got the email for the digital download! Thank you and your company for taking such beautiful shots of our [daughter] and her class.

ParentNew York

I had a vision for what I wanted our school photography to look like, and it didn't include those boring photo's with a simple backdrop and a cheesy prop. Rather, I wanted REAL photography. A product that captured the heart and personality of each child in their natural environment. I was searching for a company and/or photographer that would offer a finished product that parents would enjoy hanging in their home. I found Schoolhouse Pictures online and they are the perfect match for what I was looking for! They offer stunningly beautiful photography and are wonderful to work with too! The photographer is skilled in working with children, which is a huge help on picture day! Thank you, Schoolhouse for capturing special and beautiful moments with our students year after year!

School AdministratorPennsylvania

Our son's photos are breathtaking. Last year's and this year's, have captured his character beautifully. Thank you.

ParentFlorida

The photographers are all very professional, yet very good at establishing a trusting relationship with the children they photograph. We love the relaxed, natural style, and the end results are always beautiful. Administratively, they always reply promptly and ensure that we are very happy. The direct ordering saves the parents' time, saves my time, and saves paper & waste. I recommend them highly.

School AdministratorDelaware

You really understand the true value of customer service, not many do these days! Have a terrific day!

ParentVirginia

Since the day our school started working with Schoolhouse Pictures it has been nothing less than amazing. From their knowledgeable customer service to their wonderful, friendly photographers they have been a breeze to work with. Picture orders with parents are handled through online orders and do not have to come through the school, which frees up a lot of time and energy in the office. Our yearbook has been easy to put together and fun for our teachers and students to compile. Shout out to our wonderful team who are always ready and able to help!
