Chittum Principal Bridget Outlaw said in a statement that “school administration immediately addressed the issue” after the comments were reported, and the photographer was escorted off school property.

“Parents of students who reported the concern were notified. The company management swiftly addressed the situation and started an investigation,” Outlaw said. “We want to commend our students for quickly reporting the incident. We are thankful that our message of ‘see something, say something’ was effectively used in this situation.”

The photographer’s employer, Lifetouch, shared this statement about the incident through a spokesperson: “At Lifetouch, our number one priority is the safety of every student we photograph. We have numerous policies and procedures in place to ensure that safety, including training and background checks on all of our photographers.
