We combine professional organization with a patient, friendly approach.

We handle the logistics, the safety, and the smiles—so you can get back to teaching.

Book Your Picture Day

Big Tech Features. Local Customer Care.

School administrators are tired of dealing with "1-800" numbers when something goes wrong.
At DL Photos, we are right here in New Hampshire. Owned by Derrick Loughlin—a former Psychiatric Nurse and Marine veteran—our business is built on Community and Reliability.
We offer the advanced technology parents expect (like choosing their own backgrounds!) without the headache of a disconnected corporate vendor. We handle the logistics, the safety, and the support—so you can get back to teaching.

The "Modern Picture Day" Experience

Same-Day Private Galleries

No more waiting weeks for proofs.

Instant Access: Parents receive a private link to their child's gallery on the same day of the shoot.
Privacy First: Secure access ensures parents only see their own student.

You Pick the Background

One background does not fit all.

Green Screen Magic: We photograph on green screen, allowing parents to choose from dozens of backgrounds that fit their style before they order.
Natural Backdrop: If you don't like the virtual backgrounds, we can do regular backdrops. Just let us know what you'd like.
Customization: Parents love having control over the final look.

Ship-to-Home Delivery

Teachers shouldn't be delivery drivers.

Parents, enjoy the moment. Let us capture the grit, the goals, and the saves.

Direct Shipping: All orders ship directly to the parent’s home.
Zero Hassle: No more sorting envelopes in homeroom or dealing with lost photos in backpacks.

Why parents prefer DL Photos

over the big chains.

Fair Pricing for All Ages: Customizable packages and discounts aren't just for High School Seniors. We offer great rates for K-12 families.

The 20-Year Archive: We keep all images for 20 years. There is no "time limit" on memories. If a parent loses a photo and calls us 5 years later, we still have it.

Local Support: If a parent has a question, they talk to us—not a call center.

Don't worry, we can help!

Logistics Made Simple.

Full Access: Administrators get full digital access to all student photos for internal use (SIS systems, safety rosters, etc.).
Safety First: Every staff member undergoes a strict background check.
Inclusivity: With the owner Derrick’s nursing background, our team is uniquely trained to work patiently with students of all abilities to ensure everyone gets a great photo.

How Picture Day Works

1. The Setup

We arrive early with a full mobile studio setup (indoors or outdoors). We handle all the logistics—you just tell the teams when to show up. Volunteers are appreciated!

2. The Shoot

Our staff (safe sport trained, and great with kids!) moves players through efficiently. No waiting around. We capture multiple poses to give parents options.

3. The Order

Parents receive a private gallery link via email/text. They can view their child’s photos, choose their favorites, and order directly from their phone. Products ship directly to their door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can we really choose our own backgrounds?

Yes! Our TKO system lets parents select the background they want for their child's prints, rather than being stuck with one generic gray backdrop.

Q: How fast do parents see the photos?

With our photo system, galleries are typically ready for viewing the same day as the event. No more waiting weeks to see proofs. AND we don't like having parents prepay for photos they haven't even seen yet.

Q: Do you handle the customer service?

100%. Your front office never has to field a call about a photo order. We handle everything locally.

Q: What about the Yearbook?

We provide the Yearbook Advisor with PSPA-compliant files that plug directly into your software, plus we offer ID cards for students and staff.

Q: How much does Picture Day cost the school?

Typically, $0. We make our revenue from parent orders. We provide the photographers, the equipment, and the online platform at no cost to the school.

Q: Do you do background checks?

Absolutely. As a business owner with a nursing background, safety is Derrick’s top priority. Every staff member interacting with children undergoes a background check.

Q: Can you handle large schools?

Yes. Our "One Mission" team approach allows us to scale up. We can run multiple stations simultaneously to process hundreds of students efficiently.

Q: Do teacher's and staff get photos?

Absolutely! Teaches are such an incredible memory for students and their families. They can get in the group photos too.

For Parents

Q: Do I have to pre-pay before seeing the photos?

No! We believe you should love the photo before you buy it. You will receive a gallery link to view the images first. If needed we can do pre-pay, but we feel as though pre-pay is not fair to our parents. They get to view their images first.

Q: Can I buy just the digital files?

Yes. We offer digital download packages for social media and archiving, as well as physical prints. I'd check out what we have for packages, because some of them come with digital files.

Q: What if I have multiple children in the School?

Our online system allows you to look at each student's gallery. Unfortunately, for now, purchases will be for each student.

Q: How long does it take to get my prints?

Once you place your order, physical products typically arrive at your doorstep within 72 hours. This can of course change depending on time of year, or if we have lots of orders coming through at the same time. We can handle a lot!
