DIRECTORS & PRINCIPALS

Do you pay commissions to schools or offer any additional benefits?: KC Kids Photo is proud to offer a variety of benefits — along with commission options — to the schools we partner with.
Each school receives a free photo package (valued up to $149) for the director or principal, or the option to gift it to a family of their choice.
We also provide:

50% off any basic package for all staff members

A free digital gallery of your school's staff photos

Complimentary products such as Staff ID cards, graduation portfolios, or a large composite of all students — available in place of commission, based on your school’s individual preferences

For a full list of school and family benefits, please visit our Benefits page under the ‘Schools’ section.
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 before each season begins to schedule a date and time for your school’s photo day. We’ll follow up a few weeks later to confirm your date and send your pre-shoot materials, including posters and flyers to help remind parents and staff.

If you need to reschedule, we recommend calling our office directly at (816) 985-6749 so we can quickly help you find an alternative date that fits your school’s schedule. While we aim to finalize all shoot dates at least one month prior to the season, we’re often able to accommodate last-minute additions if space allows.

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 designated staff member to provide a detailed classroom roster, with siblings clearly marked. As each child is photographed, our assistant will check their name off the list to ensure no one is missed.

If a child is absent or chooses not to be photographed, we will make note of it.
For multi-day shoots, our team will do their best to photograph any missed children on the following scheduled day.

At the end of the session, we’ll review the completed 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?: Photoshoot Timing & What to Expect
The length of your photoshoot depends on the number of children being photographed and their age ranges.
Our team typically arrives at 7:00 a.m., unless a different time has been arranged in advance. Please allow approximately 30 minutes for setup, after which we begin photographing right away.

As a general guide, a school with 50–60 children usually takes about 4 hours to complete. Please note that the overall timing may vary based on the temperament of the children and the number of walk-in families on photo day.

After the Photoshoot
A few days after the final scheduled photo day, families will receive a direct link via email and text to view and order images.

For schools that do not provide parent contact information, we will deliver printed proof sheets that include each student’s individual gallery code and QR code.
