SchoolDays Photo is a locally owned and operated division of Carlo Marrazzo Photography. We are a small company dedicated to building long lasting relationships with you and your families. Our business is based on personal service and flexibility. Carlo photographs all the children himself. Production is handled by the very talented team at Carousel Photo Lab in Edmonton.		History The school photography aspect of the company started in 1990 when The owner's daughter was in kindergarten. The director at her school knew that Carlo had been doing weddings and other photography and asked if he would photograph the students at the school. He thought to himself, how hard can it be to photograph a bunch of kids? To his amazement it was quite easy and a lot of fun. The only difficulty was the production side of things. We didn't have the facilities to print hundreds of sheets of happy little faces. As luck would have it, a colleague was in the process of retiring from his photography business. We made an arrangement to purchase his equipment and set up our own lab. He was also very generous in introducing a few of his clients, which are still clients of ours to this day. As the years roll on, technology changes and so must we. Last year we finally shut down the lab and switched to digital photography. With digital photography the quality is excellent and the options available are much greater than they ever were with film. In conjunction with a local photo lab and their talented technicians we can create and deliver the latest products to meet the demands of the modern consumer. Coming soon we will implement chroma key technology. The student will be photographed in front of a green screen. You then choose from a variety of backgrounds, which will be added in production. Just like they do on TV and movies. Fun stuff. We will be doing tests this winter (Jan 2009) and add it to our product line for the spring grad season and the 2009-2010 school year. The future and technology will change but our main philosophy is still the same. *" We strive to make sure your that children look great in their photos and we want to deliver a high quality photograph that you will be proud to share with friends and family."* After all isn't that what school photos are all about?
