Training and Support
Our Extensive Franchise Training and Support.
When you own a Spoiled Rotten Photography franchise, we make sure you have everything you need to make your business successful. Our franchise training and support covers every area of your business, from pre-training, 11 days of comprehensive new owner training, grand opening assistance, and ongoing training and professional development.
Our continued success as a brand is dependent on the individual success of our franchise owners, so you can count on us to be with you every step of the way.
Pre-Training
Learn Camera and Photography Basics: You don’t have to be a professional photographer, but you have to love taking photos (and working with children, of course). We’ll teach you the rest!
Hands-on Training
Immersion Learning: Our new franchise owners attend an intense 11-day business boot camp at our support center in Huntsville, Alabama, where we develop and hone lighting, posing, business, sales, accounting, workflow, and customer service skills. Prepare to take and edit lots of pictures, give back to an underserved community and come away feeling confident and fulfilled. Our franchise training and support program will prepare you to both serve your own community and make beautiful, timeless portraits. Check out this video of training highlights!
Grand Opening Assistance
We come to you! We send a trainer to you for your first session at a school! The first step is always the hardest, that’s why we are there for your Grand Opening. We reinforce all that we learned in training, help training your assistant, and visit prospective school partners.
Professional Development
We are always Learning and growing. At the core of our business is quality, we will always strive to give our clients the highest quality portraits. This means we must adopt a culture of continuous quality improvement. All photographers grow their skills through image competitions and develop our creativity through a personal project.
Photographer Certification Program
Our culture is to always learn and grow. We are always striving to take our photography skills to the next level. Our certification program helps our photographers at any stage in their career to grow and improve their craft.
Annual Conference
Growth and Fellowship. Each year we gather for an annual conference where we hone our skills as photographers and business owners. Check out the highlights from our most recent annual conference.

A Continuous Support System.
You are in business for yourself but never by yourself! We stay with you down the road. You’ll always have access to our support team! With our grand opening assistance, weekly “start up meetings,” monthly “family video meetings,” and our amazing annual owner’s conference, we keep you at the top of your game!
Account Acquisition
Growing your business requires partnership with local schools – that’s why we put a priority on account acquisition support. We have a systematic, 5 tiered approach for account acquisition. We also have a strategic partnership with a national preschool brand. If you are in an area where they have schools, you will start with a book of business! Hear from our Director of Territory Development.
Video Conferences
When you are in the startup phase, we have a weekly growth meeting to support you with anything you need for starting your business. Topics include account acquisition, portrait techniques, hiring employees, business support, or anything else needed! After your start up phase, we have a monthly “all franchise” support zoom meeting.
Robust Software
We’ve built a powerful business software platform that manages workflow, accounting, customers, on-line sales, website, blog, and automated email and text marketing. It’s easy to keep your business on track!
Here’s what one of our owners had to say about our software, “I have been able to improve the efficiency of my workflow by 1,000,000% with this software!!! ALL of the post session tasks are effortless!!”
We Make Marketing Easy!
Marketing & Set Design
DONE FOR YOU
Our design team creates fresh sets and marketing materials each fall and spring season keeping our portraits fresh with a classic feel! You’ll stay ahead of the curve and never get tired or bored of ‘the same old thing.
We Make Picture Day Fun!
Best of all, we create these super fun short videos to show our customers exactly what their children will experience when we come to their school. Spoiled Rotten Photography makes Picture Day Fun!
