Picture Day is supposed to be simple: kids smile, photos get taken, parents order online, everyone’s happy.But every year, principals tell us the same frustrating story:
“After Picture Day, our front office gets flooded with calls from parents who don’t understand how to order the photos. Most of the time, English isn’t their first language. It’s stressful for them, it’s stressful for the schools staff, and we lose sales because families just give up.” Sound familiar? That constant stream of confused phone calls doesn’t just waste your staff’s time; it hurts parent satisfaction and even damages your school’s reputation. Parents start thinking, “If something as simple as ordering photos is this hard, what else is the school dropping the ball on?”The Good News: We Fixed It.At MillerFoto, we listened to school administrators like you and solved the problem once and for all.
We now provide professional, step-by-step photo-ordering help videos in both Spanish and French, the two most commonly requested languages after English in U.S.
They’re clear, friendly, on-screen narrated videos that walk parents through every single click:
How to find their child’s photos or gallery
How to choose packages
How to apply any school-specific codes or discounts
How to complete checkout safely and quickly
Everything is explained in their native language, at their pace, on their phone or computer.The Results Speak for Themselves:
Drastically fewer “How do I order?” phone calls to your front office

One principal told us last spring:“After we switched to MillerFoto and started sending out the Spanish and French videos, the phone literally stopped ringing. It was the quietest post-Picture-Day week we’ve had in years.”It’s Not Just About Photos; It’s About Respecting Every FamilyProviding clear instructions in a parent’s preferred language shows you value them.
