Picture Day Guide

UE Picture Days are smooth running, efficient, and fun! To help achieve this goal, please follow these simple guidelines. Through a team effort, we’ll achieve Ultimate success!

Your coach will provide you with your scheduled photo time and order forms 2 weeks prior to Picture Day.
Please complete the personal information and order sections; enclose payment; and bring order form to Picture Day. Every athlete must bring a completed order form in order to be photographed on Picture Day.
Make sure to complete the email address section on the form to gain access to our online promotional discount program!
Parents can visit our on-site sales booth first to “touch and feel” our Ultimate product selection. The UE sales staff will help you make selections and provide additional instructions for completing your order. Once complete, enclose payment and have your child hold on to their form.
Please arrive early! Upon arrival, find your coach/team and stay together as a group. Your coach/team parent will visit our on-site sales booth to check in team order forms. Once the order forms have been reviewed, we hand them back to the coach/team parent and then the team proceeds to the photographer.
Teams then line up and we collect each athlete’s form and take their picture. Even if the parent decides not to purchase photos, each athlete must have a completed order form with all of the athlete’s information for the team and individual photo.

Our Picture Day Process

Each client is assigned a dedicated UE Account Manager to ensure the on-site logistical process is quick and efficient, allowing teachers and students more time in their classrooms. We provide helpful materials such as scheduling templates, posters, and email blasts to help coordinate and inform families about Picture Day. Our high quality digital photography process allows our photographers the ability to check poses and expressions on the spot to guarantee great images every time. Schools can choose from our two different methods of Picture Day execution.

Touch Free – Our brand new, touch-free system is the safest option for the Picture Day process. Gone are the days of passing order envelopes and camera cards back and forth. Your school provides a roster, our photographer's tablets are pre-loaded with all the names. As the students walk up they state their name and we take their picture. Proofs are available online within days and all orders are mailed directly home, reducing the number of hands involved in a typical distribution. The speed and safety of this system will help our clients adapt to the new normal.

Traditional – Order forms are delivered and distributed so parents can pre-pay for picture packages. Email addresses are requested on the envelope so parents can view their student’s proof. If a parent is unhappy with the picture, they can notify us immediately, we will not print their pre-paid package, and the child can come to makeup day.

Our online system allows parents the ability to order pictures 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Choose from our wide array of wonderful packages and products and receive orders in 7-10 days.

Our dedication to complete follow through does not end at Picture Day. ID cards, yearbook CDs, digital mug books, cume stickers, teacher and staff packages, and specially designed school products are delivered in a timely fashion. Students will receive their photo packages within 3 weeks of Picture Day labeled by name and sorted by classroom for easy distribution.

Holly, you are the best! Thank you so much for being so flexible and accommodating. - Sabrina, Notre Dame High School

Your photographer was FANTASTIC! One of our pre-school teachers said in all her years working with kids she never saw someone who was so PATIENT with the kids. Anyway thanks!!! – LouAnn, St. Francis de Sales

Throughout the years you have worked with our students, staff, and campus, your professionalism has been incredible. I don't think I have ever stopped to thank you for working with our craziness and demonstrating the utmost professionalism at all times. As I am waiting for a conference to begin this morning, I just wanted to take a moment to pause and let you know just how much I appreciate you. You have become a treasured part of the Bobcat Family and I am thankful for influence and leadership. Thank you for making an impact on my life and my family. - Michelle, Krum High School

I highly recommend Ultimate Exposures to photograph your school. I have been extremely pleased with the quality of the images, as well as the setting of each photograph. They take special care to detail to make sure each subject is placed correctly in the shot and that they are properly lighted. They also make sure the kids are enjoying their photo experience. They have been so accommodating to our busy high school and junior high schedules. This certainly makes it easier on me! They also went above and beyond to help us out when we needed special pictures for our yearbook. The turnaround time for our pictures has been very fast and delivery of the pictures has been extremely organized. – Shelly, Ponder High School

St. Mary’s School in Gainesville, Texas, began using Ultimate Exposures as our school photographers during the 2008-2009 school year. Our parents have been pleased with the photographs. The parents especially like being able to view the images on-line to make their selections. The orders came in quickly, and retakes were handled in a timely manner. St. Mary’s School has students from three years of age up to eighth graders. The photographers worked well with all of them. They are professionals who have always been responsive to our calls and emails. They get the job done right! – Diana, St. Mary’s School

We have been using UE for the last 13 years and I can’t recommend them highly enough. The quality of the product is first rate, but it is the customer service that keeps us loyal. Erin and her team are always looking for ways to accommodate our needs. For example, at our request they shot our portraits outdoors in natural light with lush foliage as a background. I know this is not easy, but they were willing to give it a try and the results were beautiful. They also offer online previewing and ordering, which gives families more options and streamlines the process on our end. The staff is always very professional and accommodating – phone calls are returned promptly and if there is ever a problem it is resolved easily and quickly. We get solicitations from other photographers all the time, but have no reason to consider going with another company – our friends at Ultimate Exposure do a terrific job! – Kathryn, Community Magnet Charter School

I'd like to put in a good word for Ultimate Exposures. Every time I have asked for photos from them to print in Krum News over the last few years, I literally receive the photos within minutes. This includes photos for football, basketball, or basically anything I've ever asked for. And although not affiliated with Krum ISD, this includes any photos I need for the Krum Youth Sports Association (KYSA), which also contracts with them for their football and cheer photos. We've worked with many photographers over the years for both our Sanger and Krum newspapers, and Ultimate Exposures has by far been the most helpful and easy to work with. - Lee Ann, Lemons Publications, Inc.

I’ve never seen a photo album like this before in my 17 years at Tulare Union; and I am so thankful for your generosity to take the pictures, and email them to us. There are many photos in the grouping that we can use on materials and folder covers here at the high school. We will always give your company the credit for the photos. Thank you again. Please express my gratitude to your photographers and support staff. 🙂 ”

Shaving: A fresh shave is a must. If you have facial hair, have it nicely trimmed.

Clothing: Clothes should be freshly pressed. Avoid tank tops, loud or busy patterns, and logos. Bring a range from nice casual to dressy.

“Besides producing a great product, Chris and his team were very understanding and patient with us throughout the entire process. They really kept their mind set on what was best for our house and I never felt like they were rushing us through the process to push profits. I must have requested four to five adjustments after the deadline and they accommodated them without hesitation or complaint. I had an extremely positive experience with Ultimate Exposures and am looking forward to working with them again in the future.” - Nick Wang, USC Lambda Chi Alpha

“The team that brought over the composite was wonderful to work with and the process of transporting it to our house was easy and seamless. Chris proved to be extraordinarily helpful, planning and giving us notes on all our wishes for the design of our composites as well as providing quick delivery and being easy to get a hold of. We loved your work and thank you for a beautiful product.” - Camille Bradshaw, USC Kappa Alpha Theta

“Not only is Chris great at doing what is in the best interest of our chapter, but he also takes beautiful photographs. He has taken our Bid Day photos as well as our composite photos and always communicates in a timely manner to make sure that everything looks fantastic. Ultimate Exposures has done a great job documenting our memorable events and I highly recommend that you ask them to document yours!” - Shoshana Falk, Sonoma State Alpha Omicron Pi

“The CA Gamma chapter of Pi Beta Phi has been using the services of Ultimate Exposures to create our composite for several years now, and for a good reason. Working with Chris has been nothing but a pleasure, as he has proven time and time again that he is dependable, understanding, and always willing lend a helping hand. Pi Phi knows it can count on Ultimate Exposures to take high quality pictures and build a beautiful composite for our house each year and I, personally, would highly recommend their services to anyone.” - Alina Vergara-Hegi, USC Pi Beta Phi

I’m literally in tears looking at these photos!! They are more amazing than I could’ve ever asked for! I just ordered my prints. You did a great job with his Spring Baseball photos too! Everyone should use your services only! – Jasmine

These look fantastic. Thank you for another great commencement. Both of your photographers were wonderful, very professional and a pleasure to work with. – Kim Johnson, Commencement Coordinator, Hope International University

The Ultimate Exposures team is a pleasure to work with and proactive; offering new ways to meet our graduates needs by standard business practices that include technologies that were either not available or not offered to us by our past vendor. The addition of UE to our commencement line up greatly enhanced the student’s graduation experience. Our campus holds seventeen ceremonies over two days. UE meets with our planners prior to the ceremonies to discuss details of the events and determine dates and times to train readers and volunteers. Their experienced photographers have successfully met every challenge in working with different and non-traditional venues. We are fortunate to have found a partner whose offerings and values line up with our goals. – Rebecca Dufault, Commencement Coordinator, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Over the past decade, The Master’s College has had the privilege of being associated with the wonderful people and outstanding work of Ultimate Exposures. Shooting the college’s graduation year after year has allowed me to see the professionalism of these people and the joy with which they work. Their products have drawn rave reviews from graduates and parents alike. We look forward to many more years of a close relationship with the people at Ultimate Exposures. – Don Gilmore, Registrar, The Master’s College

My son is a senior at Santa Clara University. His yearbook pictures were scheduled for today and I went to the sitting with him so that I could help him make the choices. My purpose in contacting you is to commend your team for a job well done! Kudos go to Brittney and her associate. Brittney was very friendly and especially helpful in explaining the various packages and also in offering her professional opinion on the different shots. Thanks are in order for your photographer, Erin, as well. She took her time and was very meticulous in getting my son in just the right light and pose. - Karen

In our years working with Ultimate Exposures, we not only increased the number of students who were photographed, but we greatly enhanced the quality of our yearbook with the portraits taken by the Ultimate Exposures staff. Holly and her staff are remarkable, incredibly flexible, and very professional, twelve years later we are still working together. - Colleen M. McCullough, Program Coordinator & Associated Students Advisor, Chapman University
