Welcome to

Big Smile School Portraits!

We are so happy you’re here!

Meet Sonrisa!

Sonrisa is Big Smile’s cheerful bumble bee mascot and the heart behind every smile we capture.

Her name means “Smile” in Spanish, and that is exactly what she brings to every picture day at Big Smile.

With her positive energy and gentle encouragement, she helps students feel comfortable, confident and ready to shine in front of the camera. She reminds us that the best portraits happen when everyone is relaxed, having fun and able to BEE themselves.

You’ll find her buzzing around on your school’s picture days, making sure every smile is a BIG SMILE!

What’s the Buzz all about??

Thank you so much for the absolutely best experience on Friday. After 24 years, that was the nicest, professional, and time-efficient photo day I’ve ever had.
— Mrs. Michelle N. Lottie, Administrative Assistant to the Principal, Horace Mann Elementary School

Our Parent Promise

At Big Smile School Portraits, protecting your family’s privacy is just as important to us as capturing a great smile.

When your school shares student or parent information with us, it is used only to provide school photography services and communicate with your family about Picture Day and your photos.

We promise:

  • We never sell, rent, or share your personal information for third-party marketing.

  • Student information is used only to identify students, organize Picture Day, and provide photography-related services.

  • Parent email addresses may be used for Picture Day reminders, ordering information, special photo offers, order updates, and delivery of purchased digital images.

  • We take reasonable measures to keep student and family information private and secure.

  • We keep our communications relevant to your school photography experience.

Our goal is simple: to make Picture Day easy, convenient, and enjoyable for schools and families while respecting your privacy every step of the way.

Your trust matters to us, and protecting your family’s information is a responsibility we take seriously.
