FAQ
Why is Sandbox Photographers the best choice for your school?
At Sandbox our mission is to provide a joyful experience for the school and families. We are professional photographers first and foremost; we hold ourselves and our photography to a very high standard and you should too. We are a small mom-owned business, not a huge conglomerate, so we can guarantee that we care about your school, the kids and the results. We offer an eco-friendly paperless ordering system, taking the administrative nightmare off your desk and into our cloud.
Are there any sitting fees or pre-payment required?
Nope! As long as your school meets our minimum enrollment requirements, we offer this service to the school free of charge.
How does picture day work?
We will work together to create a timeline that works best for your school while getting all the photos done efficiently and as early in the day as possible.
Do you take sibling photos?
Yes! We offer sibling photos for preschools. We will photograph siblings who are enrolled in the school both individually and together. Siblings not enrolled at the school are invited to schedule a make up photo session or a family session with us.
Do you offer class photos?
Yes! Class photos are essential to Picture Day. We consider a perfect class photo to be one where each child’s true self shines through. Depending on your timeline we offer composite or group photos to most schools.
Does the staff get pictures too?
Sure! Please send us a list of teachers and administrators that would like to have their individual photos taken when you provide the school roster. Teachers will get a complimentary digital file of their image and the option to purchase prints from their private online gallery.
How should parents prepare their kids for Picture Day?
Picture Day should be fun- no stress. Parents should make their students arrive at school early or on time and picture-ready on their designated picture day. If parents would like to volunteer to help wipe noses and fix hair on picture day we would love that! Picture day parents will receive a special treat from us!
How do parents order their kids’ photos?
About three weeks after picture day parents will receive an email with a link to their password protected private online gallery where they can order packages, individual prints and cool products online.
Do parents get to see the photos before ordering?
Absolutely! The days of pre-ordering your photos sight unseen are behind us! The photos will be posted in a private online gallery and all ordering will be done after the session from this gallery.
What about usage rights? Can our school use these photos for our website and/or marketing materials?
Absolutely! As long as you have permission from the parents and provide proper photographer credit to any online or printed materials as outlined in our service agreement, we would be honored for you to use our images!
Our school is multicultural. What languages do your photographers speak?
We have photographers fluent in English, Spanish and Hebrew.
How far in advance do we need to schedule Picture Day?
We recommend scheduling picture day as soon as possible since popular Spring and Fall dates book up fast.
Do you offer school make up picture days?
Yes! We offer a couple of make up dates each season. Make up days are available to any students who were absent on picture day or just want a do over. Make up days will be held in our Martinez studio as well as one outdoor location. Click here to schedule your make up day!
