So what is Yellow Bus anyway?
Yellow Bus celebrates and elevates the traditional school portrait. The school portrait is the most time-honored and cherished snapshot of them all but in the last 20 years, they have become rushed and inauthentic. Good things that moms can fix anything and by teaming up we bring our decades of experience in both portraiture and the world of child care to your doorstep, literally!
