A guide for parents
Modern School Photo Alternatives
A plain-language guide to skipping picture day — what AI school photos actually do, the privacy questions that matter, and how to decide if it fits your family.

This hub collects the pieces worth reading before you switch — what the technology actually does with a child’s photo, the privacy and consent questions that matter, and a parent-side decision check for whether this is the right call for your family.
