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 child’s private, password-protected online gallery. From there, you can easily order packages, individual prints, and fun photo products—all delivered to your home. If you are having trouble ordering or have any questions on how to order, contact us and we are happy to help.

  • Photos will be available to view and order within 2 weeks of picture day. We’ll email you as soon as your gallery is ready. Print orders will arrive within 7-10 business days- please see our ordering terms and conditions in your confirmation email for more info.

  • If you haven’t received your gallery link within two weeks of picture day, please check your spam or promotions folder first. If you still can’t find it, visit our Help Page and submit an Order Help form—we’ll be happy to resend your gallery link.
