About Picateers
What we do
Picateers is a unique, innovative portrait company that makes it possible for schools, teams and organizations to run their own portrait programs while raising money at the same time. Parents get outstanding pictures that are spontaneous and natural. Schools and organizations get 50% back on all photo sales. Everyone is a winner!
Parents enjoy safe, secure, 24/7 online access to their children's photos-along with the ability to buy online and get their portraits printed on gifts such as mugs, t-shirts and mousepads. The more they buy, the more money goes back to their school.
Picateers also offer a private online photo service for photo sharing and professional quality prints, as well as photo gifts, including Memory Books that can be created in minutes. 25% of all proceeds from these sales go back to the purchaser's favorite school or organization.
No other portrait service does our schools such a service.
