Common Questions About Picture Day
What can I expect from a picture day with Theresa Pelser Photography?
Picture day with me is all about creating a relaxed and fun environment where your child’s true personality can shine through. I take extra time with each student, capturing real smiles and natural expressions. After the session, families get to choose their favorite shots from a selection of the best images in an online proofing gallery—ensuring you walk away with photos you’ll truly love and cherish.
What is the cost?
There’s no minimum and no cost to the school. Families simply choose their favorite photos and select a package that suits their needs.
How long will it take to get our photos?
Two weeks after picture day, you’ll receive access to an online gallery of proofs where you can choose and order your favorites. The gallery will be live for two weeks. Print orders will be delivered to the school for distribution four weeks after the ordering deadline, and digital files will be sent via email three weeks after the ordering deadline.
What if my child misses picture day?
Unfortunately, I’m not able to reschedule individual picture day sessions. Hopefully, they can make it next time!
What schools do you work with?
I work with local daycares, preschools, martial arts schools, and dance studios that have 10-50 students. This allows me to provide a personalized and attentive picture day experience for each student.
Does the school need to provide anything?
I provide all necessary photography equipment, along with a plain background for student and staff photos. As a natural light photographer, I will need access to an area next to a large window. Depending on the school, a parent volunteer may be needed to help ensure students are photo ready.
Do you photograph staff?
Yes, I offer a complimentary headshot of each staff member in attendance on picture day, which can be used on the school’s website or other materials.
Does the school receive any photos?
Yes! After the ordering window closes, the school will receive a digital image of each student photographed on picture day, for internal use.
