FAQ
How should I prepare my kids for Picture Day?
Picture day should be fun- no stress. Please make sure to arrive at school early or on time and photo-ready on your designated picture day. Please refrain from using zinc based sunscreens. We recommend a clear sunscreen on picture day since white sunscreen will show up in photos.
How do I order my photos?
You will receive an email from us with a link to your password protected private online gallery where you can order packages, individual prints and cool products online. Find your photos here.
Do I get to see the photos before ordering?
Absolutely! The days of pre-ordering your photos sight unseen are behind us! Your photos will be posted in a private online gallery and all ordering will be done after the session from this gallery.
Do you take sibling photos?
Yes! If you have more than one child enrolled in a preschool we will absolutely photograph them both individually and together. If you have children not enrolled in the same school or elementary school aged students , please schedule a make up day or family session with us.
I love the photos! Do you offer other types of sessions as well?
Of course! Check out portrait sessions here. We would love to photograph your family, your baby bump, your baby, your business and anything else you can think of. Get in touch and we can set it up!
Do you offer school make up picture days?
Yes! We offer a couple of make up dates each season. Please click here to schedule. Make up days are available to any students who were absent on picture day or just want a do over. Make up days will be held in our Martinez studio as well as one outdoor location.
