Real Photographers with Real Experience
We employ real professional photographers with backgrounds in early childhood education. Each member of the team goes through several days of hands-on training both with the technical side of photography as well as the appropriate communication to bring out your child's true spirit. You will often hear the photographers singing lines from the movie Frozen, or even making silly jokes to get the children laughing. We are in the business of making memories to last a lifetime.
