Spring 2026 Picture Day

Wednesday, March 11th, 2026

The Details.

We’re so excited to be photographing your child’s Spring Picture Day at St. Mary School! Our team comes prepared with plenty of silly jokes to bring out genuine smiles and real laughter. Photos will take place outdoors against a natural brick backdrop at the school. Students can wear casual outfits and will have the opportunity for multiple poses, plus one fun creative pose at the end. Be sure your child comes ready to show their personality—we can’t wait to capture it!

  • Picture day will be outdoors using a natural brick wall backdrop.

  • Casual Dress! Skip the uniform and let your child show their style. Whether it’s their favorite sweater or something a little dressy, choose an outfit that makes your child feel confident and comfortable — it’ll show in their smile! Click here for more style tips.

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, check your spam or promotions folder first. Still can’t find it? Email us at orders@sandboxphotographers.com, and we’ll be happy to help.
