Thanks for an Amazing Fall 2019!

March 05, 2020 by Leann Manning in School Photos

Thanks so much for an amazing 2019! There was no way we could pick just a couple of favorites from the thousands of kiddos we photographed in Fall 2019, so get out your magnifying glass and take a look at all these sweet faces! It's SO fun to look back at all these great expressions and know that we interacted with each and every one of these kiddos. Contact us for more information on how to get your Preschool or Center scheduled for photos in 2020.

What Makes Us Different {Part One}

January 31, 2019 by Leann Manning

One of our main goals at Orange Fox is to make each child comfortable and calm around us so we can get authentic smiles. While being scared is a common emotion especially for toddlers, it isn’t always what parents are looking for in a school photo

Some children come to us with smiles from head to toe right off the bat. Some, on the other hand, start off uneasy and scared of photos. We don’t want to float our own boats but this is where we excel and are different than the big box school photographers. We won’t stop at the first, second or third attempt to get your kiddo smiling (but we also won't push a kid past their comfort level - we know when to say when - we don’t want kiddos to be forever fearful of photos!)

The little guy below came to us fearful and unsure and ended up walking away from photos with a big smile and giggle. We’re not going to lie, we don’t win every kid over, but one of the greatest victories we experience when we are at a school is when we start with the first photo below and end with the second and third!! Victory and High Fives!!!! The kids often remember us and the fun they had taking photos and the photos get better and better.
