For Open Arms Staff

Send us your photo —
it takes two minutes

Families choosing a childcare center want to see the real people who will care for their kids. A friendly photo of you on our website does more to build trust than almost anything else — and getting us one is easier than you'd think.

A casual photo is all we need

You don't need a professional headshot. Send us a normal phone photo and we'll polish it for you — better lighting, a clean background, a professional finish. Here's a real example of a staff photo, before and after:

Casual outdoor photo before editing

After What we put on the site

Same person, same glasses, same smile — just better light and a clean background.

Three easy ways to get us a photo

Snap a new one

Have a coworker take a quick photo of you on a phone. Face the light, smile — that's it.

Use one you already have

A photo you already like works great. Pick one where your face is clear and well-lit.

Send it over

Email or text it to the office. We handle the editing and put the finished photo on the site.

What makes a photo easy to work with

You'll still look like you

We use today's photo tools only to improve lighting, background, and sharpness — never to change your face or make you look like someone you're not. The goal is simply a clean, professional version of you. If you ever don't love the result, just tell us and we'll redo it or leave a placeholder until you're happy.

Ready? Send your photo

Email it to the office and we'll take care of the rest. Be sure to include your name and role so we put it in the right place.
