School Retakes Day
Because school photos should actually look like your kid.
Why school Retakes?
If you’ve ever opened your child’s school photo gallery and thought, “This doesn’t look like my kid at all” or in my case, actually laughed out loud when I saw my kindergartener’s school photo, you’re not alone.
Traditional school portraits are often rushed, stiff, and one-size-fits-all. The result? Forced smiles, awkward poses, and photos that don’t feel like your child.
That’s exactly why we created School Retakes Day.
For two days only, we’re inviting families into our studio for a fresh take on school portraits — photographed the New Moon way.
These are short, school-style sessions designed to be:
Relaxed and pressure-free
Enjoyable for kids
True to your child’s personality
You’ll get school-style portraits you actually love, without committing to a full signature session.
