Professional School Photography Throughout Knoxville and East Tennessee
Built on clear communication, efficient photo days, and portraits your students and staff will actually be proud of. Portraits, yearbooks, IDs, staff photos, and more. One partner for all of it.
Why Choose Pop Pxl
Effortless Process
From scheduling to delivery, our process is tight and organized so your staff isn't managing us. Less back and forth, fewer surprises, more time back in your day.
Simple Ordering
Parents preview and order photos online in minutes. No paper forms, no lost envelopes, whether it's school pictures or dance and sports photos.
Local First
We're not a national photo chain passing through once a year. We live here in East Tennessee, we know the schools, studios, and organizations we work with, and we show up ready every time.
Real Relationships
You get the same familiar faces every season, not a call center. We learn your school's schedule, your studio's routine, your event's flow, and we work around it instead of the other way around.
Sports Photography for Schools, Leagues & Clubs
Professional individual portraits, team photos, custom banners, and composite team images
From youth leagues to school athletics, Pop Pxl makes picture day simple. Every athlete is photographed individually, allowing us to create polished composite team photos and add absent or late-joining players later without scheduling another team photo. We also offer individual portraits, team photos, custom banners, memory mates, and easy online ordering, creating a smooth experience for coaches, families, and administrators.
Safety first
All staff trained and background-checked
All Pop Pxl staff are trained in child safety and abuse prevention through Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children® program, ensuring a consistent, informed approach across every shoot. Beyond staff training, Pop Pxl is a certified facilitator, allowing us to host and provide this essential education for schools and organizations within our community. Our commitment to child protection is proactive, ongoing, and central to how we work.
- Extensive background checks
- Clear safety protocols
- No touch policy
Student Portraits
The photo day your students and staff actually enjoy.
Every student gets their moment: professional backdrops, multiple pose options, and a team that keeps the day moving so classroom time isn't lost. Families get proofs before they buy, easy online ordering, and retakes when they need them, all with straightforward package pricing. No guesswork, no pressure, just portraits your families will be glad to have.
- Multiple poses and backdrop options
- Proofs before purchase, no surprises
- Easy online ordering and secure payment
- Retake days built into the schedule
Yearbooks
Yearbooks, handled your way.
We treat yearbooks as a full service, not just a page of photos. Some schools hand us the whole project. When that's the case, we handle photography, design, layout, and production start to finish, so your team doesn't have to touch it. Other schools already have a yearbook staff or department in place, and in that case we plug in exactly where they need us, providing candids, group and club photos, and any missing pieces to keep production on schedule. Either way, you get a yearbook that's covered, not chased.
- Full turnkey production: photography, design, layout, and delivery, all handled by Pop Pxl
- Partner support: we work directly with your existing yearbook staff or department to fill whatever gaps they have
School IDs & Office Admin
ID cards and admin photos, without the added work.
Photo day covers more than portraits for the wall. We capture ID card photos, directory images, and any other admin photos your office needs, all in the file formats your systems already use. Fast turnaround means your office isn't waiting on us to move forward with ID printing or directory updates.
Staff Photo Day
A photo day for your staff too.
Add a dedicated day just for your team, separate from student photo day, so there's no rush and no disruption to class schedules. Staff get professional headshots they'll actually want to use, on your website, in the directory, on email signatures, wherever your school needs a consistent, professional look. It's optional, it's on your schedule, and it makes your whole staff directory look like it belongs to one school, not ten different photo styles.
Photo Booths for Open Houses & Events
Bring the fun to your next open house.
Pop Pxl now brings interactive photo booths and photo stations to school events, open houses, fundraisers, and back to school nights. It's the same photo booth experience we bring to University of Tennessee events under our five year event partnership, now available for your school. Give families something fun to do and something to remember while they're on campus.
A Process Your Office Can Count On
Clear communication, minimal disruption.
Your office gets a photo day process built to run smoothly on its own: clear communication before and after, secure data handling, and a team that shows up prepared. From scheduling to delivery, we keep your staff informed without adding to their workload.
