What parents tell us.

“Our son was nervous about picture day. That evening he wanted to know when the next one is.”

Parents from class 1b, Lindenplatz Elementary

“The school-start picture now hangs in Grandma’s hallway. And at our place. And at the godmother’s.”

A family from the neighborhood

“Picture day ran so quietly that the lesson next door just carried on.”

Principal, Riverside Elementary

Questions before the first day of school.

What parents ask us most often at the school gate.

What should my child wear on picture day?

Whatever they like to wear. Solid colors look calmer than big prints. The favorite jacket can come along.

Do I have to buy photos?

No. Look first, then decide. Without an order, picture day costs you nothing.

Who can see my child’s pictures?

Only you. The code on the photo card opens your child’s gallery, and all families in the class share the class photo.

The photo card is gone. What now?

Send us the school, the class and your child’s name. We will email you the code.

Can the school cone come to the studio?

Absolutely. The school bag and a cuddly toy too. If the school cone is still a secret, we photograph it from behind.
