Photo days across Abbotsford
From central Abbotsford and Clearbrook to Sandy Hill and Sumas Mountain: photo days for the Fraser Valley's biggest childcare community, from small home daycares to multi-room centres.
Free for the centre, travel included
Abbotsford is squarely inside the service area, about 25 minutes from the Langley home base. There is no cost to the centre: families simply order the packages they want.
Everything the big companies offer, and more
Class photos, sibling portraits, digital backdrop swaps, grad photos, free staff headshots, fundraising options, and paperless online ordering, with the care of a local photographer, not a call centre.
Photo day, made easier for Abbotsford directors
No paper forms, no cash envelopes, no chasing orders. The whole day runs on a clear schedule, and families order online with a personal access code.
Paperless ordering
Online galleries and secure payments. Orders start at $18, with digital and print packages.
Class & sibling photos
Free class photo prints for the centre, and sibling portraits when children attend together.
Free staff headshots
Professional headshots for teachers and staff, included with your photo day.
Fundraising programs
Photo day can raise money for your centre. Ask about fundraising options when you book.
Digital backdrop swaps
Parents choose from multiple backdrop colours for the same portrait.
Graduation photos
Cap-and-gown preschool and kindergarten grad portraits families love.
Planned makeup day
Absent on photo day? A retake day is planned so no child is missed.
100% satisfaction guarantee
Centres and parents love the results, and it's guaranteed.
Free photography hours
Complimentary photography hours for centre events. Ask when you book your photo day.
Multi-posing & expressions
Every child is photographed in multiple poses and expressions. Parents choose their favourites, not just one frame.
Local & competitive
A local Langley business with prices as competitive as the big companies, since 2016.
Parent communication kit
Ready-made parent letter, poster, and a photo day children's book. Directors send it, done.
Patient with shy kids. Playful with the wild ones.
Children aren't rushed. Shy and nervous kids get time to warm up; often the sweetest photos come once they feel safe and start being themselves. Together with the teachers, we help every child feel comfortable, including neurodivergent children, who get whatever pace works for them.
As a father of two, this isn't a technique for me. It's just how you treat kids.

Proud to be local while keeping prices as competitive as the big companies. Photo days are free for Abbotsford centres. Pricing for families depends on the packages they choose.
Big companies didn't offer class photos, and we needed someone who truly cared. Volkan was fantastic with the kids. Even before seeing the final results, we asked them to photograph our second location. Parents were thrilled, pricing was very reasonable, and they eliminated paperwork.
We've decided to continue working with Volkan Caglar Photography for all of our upcoming events at the daycare, including photo days, graduation parties, and other special occasions. We highly recommend Volkan and his team.
"Volkan was fantastic with the kids, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Parents were thrilled, pricing was very reasonable, and they eliminated paperwork."
"We're always so amazed with how he is able to capture photos of our child in a great mood! 10/10 would recommend!"
"Volkan emailed me, offering to redo those photos. The pictures were great, but the customer service was even better!!"
Your parent communication, already written
Booking a photo day includes a ready-made communication kit: a parent letter covering how to prepare (clothing, hair, snacks, sibling requests), a printable poster for the centre, and even a photo day children's book to read with the class so kids know what to expect.
You fill in the date, send it out, and photo day runs itself.
For parents: getting ready for picture day
Clothing: choose outfits your child feels happy and comfortable in. Soft colours photograph beautifully. Even a simple white shirt works with our digital backdrops. Layers and soft textures like knits or corduroy add depth; avoid neon, large logos, and busy graphics. For sibling photos, coordinate both outfits in a style you love.
Hair: simple, easy-to-manage styles stay in place all day. A subtle clip or headband is fine; a quick trim to keep hair out of the eyes makes a big difference.
Snacks: neat and easy: crackers, pretzels, apple slices. Skip yogurt, berries, and anything sticky right before picture time.
Smiles: no need to practice, because that leads to stiff "say cheese" grins. The sweetest expressions come naturally; sometimes the in-between giggles make the best pictures of all.

Plan a photo day your Abbotsford staff won't dread
Pricing depends on centre size, class photos, sibling photos, and fundraising options. Tell me about your centre and I'll build a plan that fits.
Plan a Preschool Photo DayEvery child gets to be themselves
Some children arrive beaming. Some are quiet, some are silly, some need a minute before they look up. I work with each one at their own pace until the expression on camera is genuinely theirs, and that is the photo a parent keeps.
Parents choose from a range, not a single frame
Every child is photographed through several poses and expressions, not one seated shot. All three of these frames are the same child, minutes apart, in the same session. Families see the full set in their private gallery and pick the ones that feel like their child.
A clean backdrop, and the option to change it
Portraits are made on a clean, neutral backdrop that suits any frame or wall. Warm neutral, soft grey, classic blue, and in the gallery parents can swap their child's background to whichever they prefer, without a reshoot.
Graduation portraits, Abbotsford centres included
Preschool and kindergarten grads get the full cap-and-gown treatment. Bring your centre's own gowns or use mine, either way every graduate is photographed the same careful way.
Sibling portraits, at no extra charge
When brothers and sisters attend the same centre they are photographed together as well as on their own. Flag them on the class list and I will pair them up on the day.
