Seeking franchise owners in St. Louis, MO, Springfield, MO, Kansas City, MO, Phoenix, AZ, and San Antonio, TX. Spoiled Rotten Photography is the original creation of entrepreneur and professional photographer – Melissa Tash. As a mother of two, Tash was well-aware of the standard grade of school photos that parents could expect from one year to the next and felt that she could make a real difference in the industry. A difference that could impact children and their parents throughout the Southeast. With a true talent for capturing a moment in time paired with terrific sets, props and backdrops, Tash set out to apply the leadership skills she had developed throughout her career in the United States Army, as an Industrial Engineer for Nike®, and as a Payload Crew Trainer for NASA’s International Space Station program. The result was Spoiled Rotten Photography, which was immediately met with rave reviews from students, parents, teachers and school leaders alike. In the years since first debuting her unique concept in local preschools all over Huntsville, Alabama in 2003, Tash has streamlined her company’s systems, developed proprietary software, created effective marketing materials, written a guidebook to “kid wrangling,” and built a highly successful business that has parents grinning as widely as the children beautifully captured in each portrait. In 2013, Spoiled Rotten Photography launched its franchise division – quickly extending its unique brand of preschool portraiture beyond Alabama’s borders to preschools in Georgia and Tennessee. As word continues to spread about Spoiled Rotten Photography, Tash’s dream of positively impacting children and their parents grows in proportion to her company. Today, each Spoiled Rotten franchise is deeply involved within its community – from the schools that it serves to the local non-profits that it aids. Tash and her growing team invite you to discover the Spoiled Rotten difference – whether as a partnering school, a cherished client or as a future franchise owner.

Happy Plush Animal Lovers Day! 🧸

Did you know? A favorite stuffed animal can be what child development experts call a “transitional object”, helping little ones feel safe and comfortable in unfamiliar settings.

That's one reason we love having plush buddies on Picture Day! Whether it's a favorite friend brought from home or one of the cuddly companions on our sets, sometimes a little comfort goes a long way.

Tap & Swipe through to meet a few adorable duos, plus one little guy who decided to BE the plush! 🦖

💬 Parents, does your little one have a stuffed buddy they can't go anywhere without? What's their name? 👇

You want the best for your child. We understand why. 💜

You notice whether they feel comfortable, whether someone takes the time to connect with them, and whether their portraits look like the child you know and love.

Schools care about the details, too: clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and a team that respects the school day.

We pay attention to those things because they matter to the families and schools who trust us.

And yes, we read your reviews, surveys, and comments! They help us see what we're doing well and where we can do better.

Thank you for trusting us, sharing your thoughts, and inspiring our best.

Every Picture Day. 💜

“Generous persons will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25

At Spoiled Rotten® Photography, Be Generous means generously donating our time and talents to better our communities and lifting others up along the way.

For Kara Kellner and her team in Birmingham, Alabama, that meant honoring the mothers at The Lovelady Center with Mommy and Me portrait sessions, plus digital images and prints for framing. Kara has also donated professional headshots for the center’s founders and staff.

In her words: “When you set out to bless someone, it’s funny how you are the one that is blessed!”

Generosity shows up on picture day, too: taking extra time with a child, offering encouragement, and giving every family the care they deserve.

It’s a value our entire SRP franchise family is proud to put into practice.

⭐ Franchise Owner Spotlight: Growth With Generosity ⭐

Lauri McTurner has been building incredible momentum since launching Spoiled Rotten® Photography in Connecticut. 📸

In a short amount of time, she has built one of the fastest-growing portfolios of school partnerships across the SRP network, serving Greenwich and surrounding communities.

And while that growth is worth celebrating, there’s another part of Lauri’s journey that makes this spotlight especially meaningful.

🏆 At our 2026 Annual Conference, Lauri received the Generosity Award for the heart and community spirit she brings to her business.

Through a family holiday portrait session at Guidepost Montessori in Wilton, Lauri donated 100% of the event proceeds to St. Andrew’s Church in support of St. Andrew’s Kitchen, helping provide hot meals to seniors and local families.

She’s growing quickly, and she’s growing with purpose.

Congratulations, Lauri! We’re so proud of everything you’re building. 💜

🤔❓Ever wonder what actually goes into creating a school portrait that still feels like the child in front of the camera?

It’s more than the few seconds it takes to press the shutter.

In our latest LinkedIn article, we’re going behind the scenes of Picture Day and looking at how portrait quality, child interaction, school organization, and responsible image handling all work together.

Here’s a quick look at what goes into the experience:

📸 Interactive sets & props: Giving children something real to explore can make the session feel more natural and help bring out genuine expressions.

💜 Child-centered photography: Every child responds differently. Sometimes it takes a playful prompt, a little encouragement, a different prop, or simply another moment.

🏫 Thoughtful Picture Day preparation: Coordinating with school staff, preparing equipment and lighting, and planning classroom flow helps keep the day organized while giving each child attention when it’s their turn.

🔐 Responsible image handling: The work continues after the camera clicks, with thoughtful systems, privacy safeguards, team review, and local support for schools and families.

A beautiful portrait is only one part of a successful school photography experience.

📸 The finished image is only part of the work.

A different prop. A little encouragement. One more try.

Behind those World Traveler smiles are lots of small decisions happening in real time. 💜

Thank you to the Little Sunshine's Playhouse communities who welcome our local teams. 💜

We appreciate the directors and teachers who make room in their school day and help the children feel comfortable.

Your trust and teamwork help make these portraits possible.

The preschool years go by so fast, and every year brings a brand-new personality! 🎉

Some little ones are shy and curious, taking it all in with big wide eyes. Some hold their age flag up high for everyone to see. Some just can't stop grinning. Every preschooler shows up a little differently on picture day.

That's why we meet each child right where they are. A little extra patience for the littlest ones, a little room to show off for our pre-K friends, and a portrait that captures exactly who they are this Fall.

How old is your preschooler this year? Tell us in the comments! 👇

15/10/2026

We may be Spoiled Rotten, but we’re spoiled by you. 💜

By the families who trust us with their children.
By the teachers who help a little one feel brave.
By the schools who welcome us back.
And by those who take a moment to tell us what they loved or where we can do better.

We appreciate all of it.

This season, we want to show our gratitude to the families, teachers, and school communities who support us and value the care we put into our work.

We’re glad to be part of your child’s memories.
