Portrait Day & Ordering

Information

 

Hello! Thank you for checking in here. A lot of questions I get are answered below so I hope you take the time to look over it. If you haven’t already, please sign my model release. It allows me to share your child’s photos. You can let me know if there are any exceptions.


HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR YEARBOOK PICTURES?

  1. Capturing your child’s sweet personality is my main goal. You will have multiple photos to choose from.

  2. There is no upfront cost or obligation to purchase.

  3. I donate a percentage back to your school so you can feel great about any purchase you make!


HOW DOES IT WORK?

I spend 1-2 minutes with each kiddo and promise to do my best to get a variety of images for every family. My goal is to capture your child as they are and will not force a smile from your sweet kiddo.


WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR?

A clean face! Please check for sleepies, food, boogs, clean teeth, etc. It’s best to avoid logos or graphic t-shirts but anything clean and not wrinkled always looks best. When in doubt, dress them in something they love or that shows their personality.


HOW WILL I ORDER?

I will send an email to let you know when your photos are posted or you can check back here. You may buy the digital images, prints, products, or nothing at all. Everything is a la carte, although I do offer a few collections.

I try to have unique items available for purchase from your gallery but if you aren't sure what to get or have something special in mind, PLEASE CONTACT ME. I'm happy to work with you to get exactly what you'd like. Additional retouching $25 for 3 images.

Please read the ORDERING FAQs below and Email Me if you have any questions or special requests. -Kim

 FAQs


ORDERING FAQs:

What's the difference between Matte and Lustre? What finish is on the canvas? 

'Deep matte' is a soft feeling photo. It's really beautiful but can be fragile and needs to be framed or put up on a wall, mounted away from little hands. Lustre has crisper colors with blacker blacks. Canvas is a lustre/semi-gloss finish.


Will I receive a usb or cd of my digital image order? 

No. Many computers no longer have USB or CD drives. You will be sent a link to download your images. When you buy digital images, you have 4 weeks to download your images. The link will be disabled after that. Contact me if you miss it:)


DELIVERY + SHIPPING

Delivery varies by school but I can always drop-ship if that’s what you prefer. Email me if you need your order to be shipped but your school is having their orders delivered to the school. Shipping starts at $12 but I usually offer a discount during the first week the gallery is open to schools who are only using home-shipping.


What do I do if the crop on the print/canvas I want doesn't look right? 

Email me and we can chat about a few options before you order.


I really love a photo but can't decide how I'd like to display it; can you help me? 

YES! Put some things you’re considering in your cart and we can look at it together.
