According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), a current good quality photo is the single most effective tool in locating a missing child. The NCMEC encourages parents to be prepared by assembling their child's photos and vital information ahead of time.

Sunset Photo has teamed up with the NCMEC to address the safety of every student we photograph and provide parents with these valuable tools.
