Business Overview:
This established mobile preschool photography franchise has operated for more than 20 years across a large, protected 79‑ZIP‑code territory spanning the St. Louis metropolitan area and Metro East Illinois. The business specializes in on‑site photography for preschools, daycares, private schools, and early‑education centers, using themed sets, child‑focused workflows, and a streamlined online proofing and ordering system.
The owner transports equipment and themed sets directly to client facilities, eliminating the need for a brick‑and‑mortar studio and keeping overhead extremely low. Strong recurring institutional contracts and long‑standing school relationships support predictable annual revenue.
“Gross receipts increased from $264,793 in 2023 to $285,029 in 2025, while normalized SDE rose from $176,247 to $199,050.”
