Our Process

How it works

  • A picture day coordinator will call you a couple of weeks before picture day. During this call, they will confirm your date, go over enrollment, and discuss any questions or concerns. 
  • Sending us your rosters and parent information is crucial for a successful picture day. We will need these emailed to us at least 2 weeks before picture day. 
  • You will receive a picture day kit that includes everything you need for a successful picture day such as posters to display, stickers for each child, and a sibling signup sheet.
  • 3 days before picture day your families will receive an email and text with information regarding picture day. The email will include a sample of the backdrop for your school.
  • Team Sunshine will arrive at your school an hour before the start of pictures to set up. During this time we will have a brief meeting with the coordinator to make sure it will be a smooth and successful picture day.
  • We will efficiently photograph all students and staff members ensuring each person receives the same great quality portraits that we are known for. 
  • Our fantastic photographers are great at making your students feel confident and excited to take their turn in front of the camera.
  • Our passion for what we do enables us to be flexible and adapt to any unforeseen circumstances. Our team is on-site to provide you with the best experience possible. 
  • Galleries will be online 1-2 days after picture day. Parents will receive a link to their private gallery via email & text using the information that was provided before picture day.
  • Parents will be able to view their portraits and place an order online. We have a variety of different printed and digital products designed to fit every budget.
  • All orders placed within the first week of picture day will receive a discount code and free shipping. Those orders will be delivered to the school in 3-4 weeks. 
  • Saved the best for last! Monetary donations from the first week of picture day sales are sent directly to your school.

WHEN WE PHOTOGRAPH

With our Fall and Spring portrait programs you’ll see us twice a year!

Each year we custom-create a seasonal program for both Spring and Fall! This generates excitement for our families and creates portraits they’ll want to purchase every season!

CLASS PORTRAITS

Our 2 styles of class pictures (Group or Composite) will fit any school’s needs! Before picture day we will work with you to determine which style works best.

CAP & GOWN PORTRAITS

Do you want to make promotion even more special? Let us help you!

If your school celebrates its promoting students, we’ve got you covered with exciting cap and gown sessions—seamlessly combined with your Spring Picture Day!

SIBLINGS PORTRAITS

Is your school interested in offering sibling sessions?

If you have sibling sets at your school we would love to work with them. Families must register on the sign-up sheet provided to your school before picture day.

TRADITIONAL PROGRAMS

Don't want a themed seasonal program? We have several options to choose from!

If you prefer a more traditional program, that’s not a problem! With our solid backdrops your parents will still get the same great poses and expression with a timeless feel.

Why our teachers love us

On picture day we communicate with each teacher so they know when to bring their students in, allowing us to be less disruptive to their classroom. They love experiencing the magic of picture day with their students.

The genuine smiles captured in their portraits tell a story of happiness and confidence. Our work speaks for itself! And if, for any reason, a parent isn’t completely satisfied with their child’s portraits, we are always delighted to offer a retake.
