Q: Do you offer individual prints?

Q: What is the difference between a gallery cd and a High Resolution Digital Image?
A:
  1. A gallery CD (the first option in the order tab) is a disc containing all of the images of your child except the class photo. All of these images are high-resolution images.
  2. A High Resolution Digital Image is one image.
  3. 3) The resolution of all images either a single option or the images on the disc are 3-5mb each and can be printed up to a 20x30 inch print.

Q: Why doesn't the gallery cd include the class photo?
A: We are not allowed to sell the digital version of the class photos because it contains multiple minors.  [Back To Top]


Q: How do I order the class photo and why isn't it included like the other companies?
A: To order a class photo please make sure the class photo is displayed in the image window to the left of the items list. Scroll down to the single items and select a size you would like. The most popular sizes for class photos are 5x7 or 8x10.

We don't include class photos with our packages because many families will order multiple packages of their children. Including a class photo with all orders becomes very redundant when more than one package is ordered. Because of this we have opted to keep the pricing of the class photo separate from your package pricing. We have also noticed that not everyone wants the class photo and our system gives you the option of purchasing one if you wish to do so. A lot of families are happy to have the class photo that is in the yearbook.  [Back To Top]


Q: If I have multiple online codes is there a price break on the Gallery CD options?
A: Please call us to see what specials we may have currently for this option. 888-298-0744  [Back To Top]


Q: I do not have regular Internet access is there a way for me to receive proofs?
A:
  1. Yes, please email us a request including the student's first and last name, their school name, and teacher's name, with a mailing address so we can send you a contact sheet of your student's images with an order form.
  2. If you aren't able to email please have the school notify us with the information mentioned above so we can send you your picture information.
  3. If you don't want to contact the school you are welcome to call us to request this information. 888.298.0744

Q: When is the Makeup picture day scheduled?
A:
  1. For our Elementary schools the makeup day is scheduled 3-4 weeks after the first picture day. We will send out email reminders with information to sign up for makeup photos.
  2. We will also have a General Makeup session for all of our school. This is usually scheduled in mid to late November for our fall schools. Eligible students for this makeup day are any Elementary Students who missed their makeup day and Preschool students. We cannot photograph siblings who do not attend one of the schools we photograph.

Q: Why are you more expensive than previous photographers?
A: We acknowledge that we are only a tiny bit more expensive than other school photographers. Unlike the majority, we do not require payment from schools or do prepayments for orders. We provide multiple poses to choose from. Our photographers are all professionals with their own studios and hiring people with this skill level costs a bit more than the normal school photo companies. We've had so many great compliments about our photography and we hope you are pleased with your photos and can see the difference in quality.  [Back To Top]

Q: Why are the prints not cut when we receive them?
A: Our packages and single items are printed in a sheet format to keep costs down. We understand that this can be difficult for some of our customers who worry about miss-cutting their prints. If you would like us to cut your prints for you please review the options listed below:
  • Call us to place your order and request they be cut so we can send them to you or call to have them picked up once they are in and have been cut for you.
  • If you have already ordered them online you can send them back to be cut or make an appointment to come in and we can cut them for you. We are a local company located in San Carlos.
  • You can take them to a "print center" such as Kinko's, Staples, or Office Depot and they should be able to cut them at no cost for you.

Q: Why is there deadline/price expiration after 2-3weeks?
A: There is an expiration date to view your photo galleries online due to limited space on our online servers at a time. In most cases expiration dates are extended allowing more time to order. If the galleries are taken offline we can re-post your galleries for an archive retrieval fee of $25 per online code.  [Back To Top]

  • If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we offer a 100% money back guarantee on all print products. We are also happy to re-print your photos.
