Families can resubmit anytime using the same secure link. The new photo goes through your approval queue.

Use Church Pictorial to collect photos and generate your PDF. Set the online directory to staff-only access — you get print benefits without exposing anything online.
Who is Church Pictorial built for?
Church admins, office staff, directory coordinators, and volunteers. If you can send an email, you can use it.
How is this different from hiring a photographer?
No scheduling sessions, no waiting for everyone to show up, no expensive packages. Families upload their own photos on their own time.
Do you offer a free trial?
