The product

Everything picture day needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

From the shoot to the payout, Photo Chalk handles the busywork so you can spend your time behind the camera.

Capture

Tag every kid by time, not by hand

Shoot the way you want — outdoors, on location, in natural light. The app records when each child was photographed, so matching happens on its own afterward.
  • Mobile companion marks each student’s session window
  • Photos match automatically from EXIF timestamps
  • No hand-written names, no manual bucketing, no mix-ups
Cull

AI finds your keepers, right on your computer

The desktop app reviews every frame and proposes keepers. You make the final call in a fast keyboard-driven queue — then send straight to your editor.
  • ~98% of the sort done automatically
  • Eyes-open, sharp, looking-at-camera scoring
  • Runs locally — photos are never uploaded to be analyzed
Deliver
