With a Bit More Wiggle Room

At SUGARlight, we bring patience, play, and professionalism to school picture days across Colorado. Whether you're running a busy preschool or a bustling elementary campus, our process is thoughtfully built for educators—and designed to make families smile.

LET'S TALK PICTURE DAY

HE SMILED LIKE THAT ALL MORNING. PROMISE.

YES, SHE REALLY PICKED THAT POSE HERSELF.

SHE ASKED IF SHE COULD BRING HER DUCK. WE SAID YES.

HE SHOWED US HIS SUPERHERO POSE. WE SAID: PERFECT.

Built for busy classrooms. Not chaos.

Preschool

LITTLE KIDS. BIG PERSONALITIES. REAL SMILES.

We specialize in photographing infants through Pre-K—and we know how to work with short attention spans and big feelings. Our team brings a calm presence, gentle guidance, and a few silly tricks to create portraits that feel honest and joyful.

Our schedule respects your classroom rhythms. Our photographers adapt to each child. And our systems? Fully managed—so your staff can stay focused on their day, not ours.

We make picture day feel more like story time than studio time.

K-8 Schools

PICTURE DAY THAT GROWS WITH YOUR STUDENTS.

From kindergartners with gap-toothed grins to confident 8th graders ready to rule the school, we create age-appropriate portraits that reflect who your students really are.

Our team handles logistics with care, keeps things moving, and brings just enough personality to keep older kids engaged—without the cringe factor.

Whether you’re a small charter or a larger campus, we make sure your school community looks its best, feels seen, and gets a portrait experience that fits.

Professional, efficient, and full of character—just like your school.

FAQ

for schools

How far in advance should we schedule picture day?: As soon as possible! Most of our schools book several months—or even a year—in advance to lock in preferred dates.
How long does it take?: For preschools, we can photograph around 50 children in one morning. We work closely with you to create a schedule that flows smoothly—giving our photographers time to connect with each child while still keeping things moving. We build in breathing room for shy kiddos or wiggle breaks. We want the kids to genuinely enjoy their time with us!

For K–8 schools and studio events, we can send multiple crews to photograph hundreds of students in a single day. Our systems are built for scale without sacrificing quality.
What do you provide for prep?: Everything! Parent flyers, posters, digital reminders, and classroom schedules—fully customized for your school.
What do teachers need to do on picture day?: Very little. We handle the flow, keep kids engaged, and work with your classroom rhythm. You just help us get the class to the photo area—we take it from there.
How are photos delivered to families?: Parents receive a link to a private online gallery—no order forms or prepay required.
Can we include staff photos or class pictures?: Absolutely. We’ll guide you on options and timing so everything fits smoothly into your schedule.
