Directors & Principals

Do you pay commissions to schools or offer any additional benefits?: Lil Angels is proud to offer multiple benefits as well as commission for our schools, such as a free package (up to a $199 value) for the director/principal or they can choose to gift it to another family. We also offer 50% off any basic package for all staff members, a free gallery of your school's staff images, as well as free products such as Staff IDs or graduation portfolios or a large composite of all students in place of commission upon individual agreements.

For more information on all of the benefits Lil Angels has to offer for our schools and their families, please see our benefits page under 'Schools'.
How do I schedule or confirm our school's picture day? What if I have to reschedule?: Our team will reach out a few months prior to each season beginning, to set up a date and time for your school photo day. We will contact you again to confirm your date a few weeks later and will then prepare your pre-shoot materials, including posters and flyers to remind your parents and staff of your upcoming photo day.

In the event that you have to reschedule, we recommend that you call our office directly at (816)985-6749 that way we can find another date on our calendar that will work for you. We aim to schedule all of our shoots at least a month prior to the season beginning, that being said we are often able to squeeze in a school even if our calendar is quickly filling up!

If this is your first time scheduling a photoshoot with us, please fill out the form at the bottom of the Benefits page and we will reach out to you regarding a future photoshoot!
How do you keep track of all the students? How do you ensure every child gets photographed?: Upon arrival, our team will ask the Director or staff member in charge to provide a detailed roster for each classroom. Once a child has been photographed, the assistant at the photoshoot will then mark the child's name off the roster. In the event that a child does not wish to be photographed or if a child is absent, we make note of that as well. If the photoshoot is scheduled for multiple days, our team will attempt to take any children that were not photographed again the following day. At the end of each photoshoot, our team will review the roster with the Director and go over any children who were not photographed.
How long does a typical photoshoot last? How long will it take to receive our photos back?: The length of a photoshoot depends on how many children are being photographed that day and what age ranges. Our teams typically arrive at the school at 7:00 a.m., unless a later time has previously been set and discussed. Please allow around 30 minutes for our team to properly set up, then we will immediately begin photographing. For example, a school with 50-60 children will typically take roughly 4 hours. That being said, the temperament of the children and the amount of walk-in families affects the total time as well.

A few days following the last day of your school's photoshoot, families will be emailed a direct link to view and order their images. Printed photo proofs will also be delivered to the school that include an individual online code and QR code for each student as well. For more information on ordering, please see the "How It Works" page.
