Why kindergarten is the perfect time to start your Picture Day journey

When your child starts kindergarten, you are filled with many emotions. Happiness for reaching this milestone. Pride in everything they have and will achieve this school year. Even pangs of worry, as you see them off on that very first day knowing they are growing in their independence.

Kindergarten is an important time for families and certainly one that's worth capturing and preserving with school photography. It's the first year in what now may seem like a long journey toward graduation, but in the blink of an eye your little one will be working hard toward getting their diploma.

Cherishing these special moments is important and preserving memories is essential. That's why kindergarten is the best time to start your Picture Day journey. By collecting school pictures every year when Lifetouch comes to school for Picture Day, you're building a one-of-a-kind collection that tells the important story of your child growing and becoming their own person.

Creating a school photography collection

From the toothless grin in kindergarten to the memorable hairdo in middle school to the proud smile in senior pictures, school photography offers families a meaningful way to capture this growth so it can always be remembered. Lifetouch will be with your family every step of the way, kindergarten through senior year, so you will have a complete collection of your child’s K-12 milestones!

At the start of every school year, Lifetouch captures the pride and joy of your student from the same angle in their school picture. This consistency offers an authentic view of your child as they grow every year, creating a priceless collection. Printed photographs are wonderful for framing, and now thanks to a partnership with Shutterfly, when you purchase an eligible package online your child’s school picture will be safely saved with Shutterfly’s unlimited free storage.

That means you'll be building a digital collection of your student's school pictures, starting with that quintessential kindergarten image. Plus, you'll receive a free gift with purchase from Shutterfly when you buy school pictures online.
