Children are my favorites.  I have more fun with them then anyone else.  They are so honest, it just cracks me up.  If you have something in your teeth they will tell you!  You just have to love them for that.

A few weeks before your scheduled photo day you will receive the order envelopes.  Please hand these out to your parents about one week ahead of time.  They will need to return these completely filled out with payment enclosed on your photo day.  Urge you parents to drop off their child as any other normal day.  The kids will do much better relaxing without mom & dad hanging around.

I like to take the class photo before their individuals.  That way they get used to me as a group.  When it's time for individuals I like to keep them in groups of   5-10.  They seem to thrive on each others enthusiasm.  It helps me to bring the shy kids in with very outgoing kids.   Only the children purchasing individual photos will get theirs done "...BUT every child is in the class photo whether they are purchasing or not.  I try to finish up each class then move on to the next.  That way when they are done they can go on with the days activities. 

Each teacher in the class photo will receive one 5x7 photo plus one for the school.  You also receive 4 wallets of each child that does purchase individual photos.

Afterwards all the photos are individually wrapped, boxed and shipped to the school to be handed out.

If you would like to make a fundraiser out of photo day please ask me for details before you schedule.

 

Don’t worry – I’m not afraid to wipe their noses!!

Some recent individuals below

Greg Norry has been taking pictures at Exploring Your World Nursery School for at least ten years.  We have consistently requested Greg while he worked for Colorgraphic's, since we are always very impressed with his professionalism.  Although he represented a large company, his personalized way of doing business is outstanding.  Specifically he interacts exceptionally well with our children who have special needs.  These children are often difficult to manage, even for trained staff.  His success rate with our children, over the years has been almost perfect!  His rapport with children speaks to the fabulous pictures he takes.  Besides making children feel comfortable, Greg pays attention to detail.  He checks every child individually, making sure hair, clothing and general appearance are acceptable for this event.  His manner is one of respect for staff, parents and our children.  He has a strong work ethic.  He always calls ahead to confirm the shoot, arrives on time, and is set up well ahead of the shoot.  He understands that these photographs are of major importance to our families, yet conducts the day in a way that accommodates the daily routine of the program.

You have always honored our appointment times (arranged months in advance), have allowed us to maintain our classroom routine, and have responded to our requests.  The children relate well to your humor during both the class and individual pictures and the teachers recognize you treat each child with respect as you sense his/her mood at the time.  It is evident in your approach that you see children as "little people", that you care and enjoy being around children and that you want to capture their essence in the pictures you take.  You are patient as you allow them to relax a little, sit up nice and tall, show the sparkle in their eyes, and just be themselves.  You continue to be enthusiastic as you pull those well-used and loved stuffed animals/characters out of your pockets to cavort on your camera - most often with the result of immediate smiles.  Most reassuring to me as the director of the school, is that I have been able to recommend that the parents order photos because I am confident they will be pleased with them - and they are!

Speaking for my teacher aides & myself, we have been very pleased & happy with Greg's work over the years.  He has always taken extra steps to be with us on time, setup & final results.  I know Mrs. Puccia was very pleased with "his work" this past year.  I have faith in you & the pride you have in your art to deliver our pictures in a timely & professional manner.
