Lenn Grayes Photography is a locally-owned volume photography company in Arlington Heights, IL, specializing in photography of young children. My sole focus is on the beautiful subject, the kids themselves, and creating a fun, genuine experience for the little ones, so they will enjoy having their pictures taken.

From newborns to elementary school students, a relationship is built and it shows in the final images. I focus on building relationships with the tiniest of humans, who change so much over the course of just a few months.

I work very closely with the school staff to create a fun and relaxed portrait session for each child. Parents never have to decide how many photos they will purchase before they see the images. I offer families an easy online ordering system, where parents can browse their children’s portraits, and place print and product orders at their leisure.

This experience will provide timeless portraits that families will treasure for a lifetime.

How does this work?

The process is simple: all aspects of the school portrait experience are handled by Lenn Grayes Photography, including:

  • parent communication
  • online viewing and ordering
  • print fulfillment
  • payment, and
  • customer service.
Where will the photo shoot be located?

To keep it as simple as possible for the parents, all photo shoots are located at your preschool/daycare center.

Does it cost the center anything to have portraits taken?

There is no cost, and we offer several incentive options to your center.

How can I sign up for my school?

Let’s set up a chat or I can visit your school. Once we have discussed where I can set up my equipment, we’ll set up a portrait date. Depending on the number of students at your school, this may be multiple days.

What happens on Picture Day?

On Picture Day, setup will be completed in the morning, and the children will be escorted by one of your school’s staff members to the portrait location.

When will the parents be able to view their pictures?

About 3-5 weeks after Picture Day (depending on the number of students), photos will be ready for online viewing and ordering in private, password-protected galleries. Orders are then delivered directly to the addresses designated by the purchaser.

How can I promote Picture Day?

1. Your school will have their own webpage, that you can link to your website. See a sample here.

Or you can do any of these below:

2. Print out flyers with all the pertinent info, and display them at your reception center.

3. Send out email reminders to parents, and give them a chance if they prefer to have their children opt out of their scheduled photo session.
