WHY THIS COURSE EXISTS
Most photographers think volume photography (like school picture days) can only be done by big companies with huge teams. That’s simply not true. With the right system, software workflow, and on-set confidence, even a small studio can earn thousands per event with repeatable results.
THIS COURSE WAS CREATED FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO WANT TO:
- Expand into school and volume photography
- Build predictable, repeatable workflows
- Use GotPhoto (our go-to volume photography software) like a pro
- Keep kids moving, parents happy, and schools impressed
Hi, we are Kat & Brett!
After nearly two decades as professional photographers, we’ve learned one thing for certain: simple systems always win.
School volume photography can feel overwhelming - tight schedules, large groups, and the assumption that you need a big team to make it work. As a small husband-and-wife photography team, we knew there had to be a more efficient, realistic way to work with schools.
So we created a repeatable school photography system that allows us to successfully photograph schools with just a two-person team.
By focusing on clear student flow, smart preparation, and streamlined software workflows, we’re able to deliver consistent, professional results on picture day.
We intentionally work with smaller schools and early education programs, including:
-
Montessori schools
-
Preschools and daycares
-
Private and faith-based schools
-
Co-ops and small learning centers
Now, we’re sharing that exact approach inside this School Volume Photography course - a self-paced online photography course designed to help small studios confidently add school photography to their business.
Together, we’ll simplify picture day and show you how a small photography team can successfully run volume school photography, without overcomplicating the process.
