There are three ways to share photos with your families. Pick the one that fits your school's privacy needs, then let families know what to expect.
Choose how families get their photos
Parent portal. Each family signs in and sees only their own child's photos. Most private, and nothing for parents to search. See How to see your child's school photos: parent portal sign-in.
Your school's own portal, such as Schoolbox. Photos sit inside the portal families already use and only show while they're signed in.
A gallery link. You share a link and families find their child by browsing or with selfie search. You can add a password or make the event private.
Keep galleries private
Event privacy and passwords: set these per event. See How to update or change event privacy.
Account-wide settings: on the Photo security tab in Settings you can make all events private, so families only see photos after uploading a selfie, and turn off public sharing.
Students who can't be shown: use Photo Security to hide them automatically. See Keeping your child out of school photo galleries.
Let families know when photos are ready
While you're still uploading, families see a Photos are still being uploaded to this event banner and can click Notify me. When you've finished, click Mark Upload Complete. Families who clicked Notify me get an email with a link to the photos, and any password or privacy settings you've set still apply. See Mark Upload Complete explained.
A guide for families: sports days and school events are usually ready 1 to 5 business days after the event, and graduations 1 to 2 weeks after the ceremony.
What families will ask you
The gallery password. Your school sets it and decides who gets it. GeoSnapShot can't give it out.
A child missing from the parent portal. Check the student and parent details in your school system.
Which events were photographed, and prices. You or your photographer set these.
Families can reach you through the contact link next to the event date on the event page, so check the contact email on your events is right.
