How do I participate in the Elementary Family Free program?
Some elementary schools may participate in our Family Free program. If your school participates, please check your school flyer for details. If you wish to prepay online using the Family Free program, you can prepay for the first 2 children online. However, the third child must turn in a money envelope clearly stating that this is part of the Family Free program and MUST list who the paid siblings are. Any money envelope turned in without this information will be held for further clarification.
How long does it take to receive my online order?
Printed portraits are sent immediately to our professional in-house lab for processing. Orders are shipped from our facility within 48 hours. Free shipping applies to all printed portraits. Please add approximately 3-5 business days for USPS shipping.
Specialty Items- Some items are shipped directly from our vendor. These items may take up to two weeks for delivery and are charged $8.00 for shipping per order.
Elementary School Prepay Orders- If you are pre-paying for your child’s school pictures, your order will be shipped directly to the school. Delivery times vary per school. Specialty Items are sent in a separate shipment to the school, approximately 2 weeks after the portrait delivery.
What are the hearts on my images for?
The heart outline on your images allows you to click within the heart and mark it as a favorite. Once you mark it, it will appear at the top of your gallery list marked for favorites. This makes it easy and convenient to see all your favorite images in one place. You can even create collages, specialty prints and more!
How do I have my child’s photo retaken?
If your school has scheduled a retake/absentee day, you must notify the school that you need a retake so that your child will be added to the list of students to be photographed.
