Missed Picture Day?
No worries! We offer Makeup Picture Days each season at our Martinez studio. Simply book your time slot online, and after your session, you’ll receive your student’s online gallery to view and order photos. We’ll also send your child’s makeup day photo directly to their school for yearbook inclusion, making the process easy and seamless.
Siblings are welcome, even if they attend different schools. We’re happy to photograph both individual and sibling portraits for all students who sign up!
Frequently Asked QUESTIONS
-
Picture day should be fun and stress-free! Make sure your child arrives at school on time and ready for photos on their scheduled day. Please avoid using zinc-based sunscreens, as they can appear white and chalky in photos. A clear or non-whitening sunscreen is a better choice for picture day.
-
We recommend solid colors or simple patterns, as busy prints or logos can be distracting in photos. Most importantly, let your child wear something they feel confident and comfortable in!
-
Absolutely! No more guessing what your child’s photo will look like before ordering. You’ll be able to view all the images in your private gallery first, and only order what you LOVE.
-
After picture day, you'll receive an email with a link to your student's private, password-protected online gallery. From there, you can view your photos and order photo packages, individual prints, digital files, and fun photo gifts—all shipped directly to your home.
