Modern smartphone rear cameras are 36-48 megapixels — higher resolution than the DSLRs most school photographers use. Combined with live professional photographer direction and professional human retouching, the results are studio-grade. We've delivered 100,000+ portraits this way for Google, Netflix, and McKinsey.

It's 10 minutes on their phone at a time they choose. Parents already spend more time wrestling their kid into picture day outfits — with zero control over the result. With Capturely, they control the hair, the outfit, and the environment. They see the photos before they buy. We expect higher participation rates, not lower.

High-res digital files are delivered within 24 hours of each session, matched to student data automatically. We export directly to whatever yearbook platform you use — Jostens, Walsworth, Entourage, Treering — properly formatted and organized by grade and class. No waiting for picture day to happen first.

Yes. Capturely pulls student rosters from your SIS — PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, Tyler — and pushes completed portraits back for student records and ID cards. Session links go out through your existing communication channels. You don't switch systems or learn new software.

Schools earn 20-30% commission on parent purchases, depending on the contract tier. Because parents see the photos before they buy, purchase rates are higher than traditional picture day — which means more commission dollars for your school, even at the same percentage.

Photos are captured on the family's own phone and uploaded to our secure platform. We comply with FERPA. We never share, sell, or license student images. Our photographer is never physically with the child — the parent is always present. Our data practices pass security reviews at Google and UnitedHealth Group. We're independent and founder-led — no private equity, no corporate conglomerate.
