This kit is for schools that say: - “We’re happy with our current photographer.” - “Now isn’t a good time.” - “Maybe next year.” Goal: Stay welcome, stay remembered, and be the first call when they’re ready. This is not a sales push. It’s professional, respectful relationship-building. WHEN TO USE THIS KIT Use immediately after: - A call where they’re happy with their current photographer - A polite email response declining for now - A conversation that ends with “not right now” WHAT’S INSIDE THE KIT 1️⃣ “Not Yet Is Okay” EMAIL (Send Within 48 Hours) Purpose: Remove pressure + earn trust Subject Line Options: - Totally understand — thanks for sharing - Appreciate you getting back to me - Happy to stay in touch Email Template: Hi {{Name}}, Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me / respond — I really appreciate it. I completely understand staying with a photographer you’re happy with. That kind of consistency matters so much in schools. If it’s okay with you, I’d love to stay in touch and be a resource if you ever need one — whether that’s for future picture days, special events, or even just quick questions. No pressure at all. I’m always happy to reconnect when the timing feels right. Warmly, Lauryn 2️⃣ HANDWRITTEN CARD (Optional but Powerful) Timing: 3–5 days after email Purpose: Be memorable + human Card Script: Hi {{Name}}, Just wanted to say thank you again for the kind conversation. I loved learning more about your school. If our paths cross again down the road, I’d love that — and if not, I wish you a smooth and joyful school year. — Lauryn 3️⃣ ADD THEM TO THE “NOT YET” NURTURE LIST Purpose: Gentle visibility without selling Cadence: - 1 email every 3–4 weeks Content Themes: - Picture day tips for directors - Behind-the-scenes moments - How you handle common pain points (tears, weather, shy kids) - Seasonal reminders (graduation, spring photos, class groups) Rule: If it sounds like a sales email, rewrite it.

OMG! I might have a childcare center with children from 10 weeks. There are 100 kids but I have no idea what to do with babies who can not hold their had up. Any suggestions?

You'll notice both the indoor and outdoor posing videos are locked until level 2. Levels are unlocked as you contribute in the community. My goal is for all of you is to get involved and to be an active participant in this membership. As you ask question, answer questions, and interact, your levels will unlock and even more training will be available to you!

Keep a stack of these stamped and on hand. As soon as you locate a school you want, address it, and send it out! I mail on Mondays with a goal of getting to the director midweek. I do not expect to get booked off of these. These are simply the first touch point! Link to template you can edit (please switch out to your own photos! Do not use the photos on the template.) https://www.canva.com/design/DAG_7geaAHA/H6kZ0kRzyKJTFPEli-dnBA/view?utm_content=DAG_7geaAHA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=preview
