School photography

School photography software with A.I. photo matching.

PortraitLink is school photography software for picture day, sports day and graduation photographers. Parents register with a quick selfie of their child, and A.I. matching files every photo into that family's private gallery.

Why use PortraitLink for school photography

  • PortraitLink helps school photographers deliver picture day photos online instead of with order envelopes.
  • Parents register once with a reference selfie; A.I. face matching files each student's photos into a private gallery.
  • Photos you upload later, like candids or class groups, are matched to the right families automatically.
  • Parents buy downloads and retouching for their child online, and the money goes straight to you.
  • Face data is used only for matching within the event and is removed when the event is deleted.

Problem solved

Lost order envelopes and cash

Parents order online from their own gallery. No envelopes to collect, count or lose.

Problem solved

Matching students to photos

No more shooting name cards or reconciling rosters. A.I. matching does the filing.

Problem solved

Retakes and missed students

See which registered students have no photos yet, and new uploads are matched automatically.

Uses PortraitLink A.I. events. A.I. events match faces in your uploaded photos to each registered participant's reference selfie, so you can shoot freely without tracking names or order.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about using PortraitLink for school photography.

Parents upload a reference selfie of the student when registering. After you upload picture day photos, PortraitLink compares faces and files each photo into the matching student's private gallery.

Matching runs only within a single event, is used only to file photos into galleries, and face data is removed when the event is deleted. Galleries are private and accessed by unique links.

PortraitLink sells digital downloads and retouching online. Many photographers offer prints separately through their lab.

Photos without a match remain in the event so you can review them. When a parent registers later, existing photos are matched to the new registration.

Yes. Registration, gallery delivery and payment all happen online, so there is no need for paper envelopes or cash handling.
