Who owns Lifetouch photos?

  • Lifetouch, the big school-photo company, was acquired by Shutterfly in 2018 in an all‑cash deal worth about 825 million dollars.
  • Shutterfly itself was later acquired by the investment firm Apollo Global Management , so Lifetouch ultimately sits under Apollo’s corporate umbrella.
  • In practical terms, that means:
    • Your school photos are handled day‑to‑day by Lifetouch as a Shutterfly brand.
    • The parent‑level corporate owner of the business is Apollo Global Management, via its ownership of Shutterfly.

For most customers, the key point is that Lifetouch is now part of the Shutterfly family of brands, backed by Apollo Global Management as the controlling owner at the top level.
