Legacy Studios, a national leader in school photography, today announced the launch of a free 12-episode Photography Curriculum for all partner schools. Built for teachers and designed by students, the video-based program is a ready-to-use classroom resource that captures attention and teaches modern visual storytelling skills.

“Picture Day is just the beginning,” said Amanda Lillemoe, Director of Marketing at Legacy Studios. “Every school we serve now receives a photography curriculum at no cost. Once you see one episode, you’ll want to see them all. It’s our way of being an educator’s best friend—supporting teachers with classroom-ready resources while helping students develop skills that extend into yearbooks, communities, and future careers.”

The program is just-press-play, requiring no prior expertise. Students progress step-by-step from camera basics to professional-level storytelling, making it a natural fit for photojournalism, media, and yearbook classes.

“A comprehensive education video series that will take beginning student photographers to storytellers who capture winning images. The easy-to-follow steps cover everything needed to prepare students for high school assignments.”
— Mike McLean, Freelance Visual Communication Specialist and National Photographer Speaker

Lou Esposito, CEO of Legacy Studios, added: “As a company built for schools, we know the importance of nurturing creativity. Offering this curriculum is one more way we support schools and families—quality portraits, secure galleries, and now classroom tools that make teachers’ lives easier.”

What’s Inside the Curriculum
• 12 high-energy video lessons crafted by industry photojournalists
• Quizzes, answer keys, and supplementary graphics to reinforce learning
