School Picture Day: What You Need to Know

Quick Reminders

  • No Parent Stay-Ins: Photos run smoother without parent helpers — thank you!

  • No Outfit Changes: Kids should arrive dressed and ready. What they wear is considered parent-approved.

  • Hair Ready to Go: Teachers can help with small touch-ups, but we don’t provide brushes or make major hair adjustments.

  • Share Preferences Early: If you have specific styling or outfit requests, please share them with your child’s teacher ahead of time to see if they’re able to accommodate.

We’re so excited to capture your child’s portraits! Here are quick answers to the most common parent questions:

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS

  • Galleries are emailed within 10 days of Picture Day.

  • Each gallery includes 3–5 professionally edited images with a range of expressions and poses. Retouching, prints, digital files, and canvases are available.

  • If your school doesn’t require uniforms, we recommend:

    • Solid colors (they photograph beautifully and are timeless). 

    • Avoiding graphic tees, overly bright colors, or busy patterns.

    • Choosing something your child feels comfortable and confident in. 

  • You'll receive a link via email. All orders are placed online — no paper forms needed.

  • Yes — for children in 5th grade or younger, full-body portraits will be taken unless the school notes otherwise. Please make sure their shoes are picture-day ready!

  • Yes — as long as it’s approved by the school director. If sibling photos are permitted, they’re typically taken during the older sibling’s session and included in each child’s gallery at no extra cost.

  • Each child is assigned their own gallery using facial recognition to keep things organized and efficient. This also helps keep pricing fair to families with just one child, since all orders and discounts apply individually.

    Because of this system, digital discounts apply within each child’s gallery and can’t be combined across siblings.

  • Late orders are accepted, but they’ll include a service fee and shipping. Order by the deadline to get free school delivery.

  • You can add on retouching to any of the images directly on the site. Click here for information on retouching with images for references.
