Passwords

Passwords are CaSe sEnSiTiVE. Your password is your child’s FIRST initial and the first FOUR (4) letters of their last name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. No spaces or hyphens.

Example Password

Your child’s name is Jessica Jones and they’re in the After School Academy; the password for your gallery is JJONE. Suppose Jessica has two siblings, Emily is in Junior Academy and Michael is in Half Day Morning Preschool and Kinder Academy. The passwords for each gallery are unique. Emily’s password would be EJONE. Michael’s password would be MJONE.

Sibling Gallery Passwords

Your password is the same as the first child listed in the gallery name.

Password Exceptions

EXCEPTIONS are when your child’s last name has only two or three letters, such as “Ma”. In this case, your password will be your child’s first initial along with their full last name (example: Junior Academy child’s name is Olivia Ma. The password for your gallery is OMA).

FAQs

What email address do I use to sign in to the gallery?

Use your own personal email address. You’ll receive an automatic gallery closing reminder sent to this address.

What’s a class composite?

Composites are like a mini yearbook page: each child’s name and photo appears on a single sheet with their classmates.

I’m locked out of my gallery, what do I do?

If you’ve entered an incorrect gallery password too many times, you’ll be locked out. This is a gallery safety mechanism to combat unauthorized access. Clear your browser cookies and/or cache, close and then reopen your browser window to try again. Passwords are CaSe sEnSiTiVE, please ensure you are using correct capitalization and spacing (if applicable). If you’re still having trouble, contact the studio for help.

I missed the ordering deadline. Can I still order school photos?

You can place an order for your school photos at any time, up to 2 calendar years after picture day. Contact the studio to have your gallery recreated. There’s a $10 late order fee that may be applicable to orders placed after the ordering deadline plus shipping charges for products to be delivered to your home address (no school delivery for late orders) There is an unarchiving fee applicable to orders placed 3 months or more past your school’s original ordering deadline.

How can I get free shipping?

If you’re placing an order before your gallery closing date, use coupon code SchoolDelivery for free print delivery to the school. Orders placed with the coupon are processed, printed and delivered to the school in bulk to keep costs low. Product orders placed after the order deadline must pay for shipping. If you pay for shipping when you check out, your order is processed individually and shipped to your address. All classroom photos are delivered to the school after the ordering deadline.

** IMPORTANT NOTE: These images are captured in a short time period with your kiddo. Due to the scheduling arranged with your child’s school, we have less than two minutes with each child. We do our best to capture a variety of expressions and conjure authenticity from your son or daughter during this short time. Some children are naturally more comfortable than others when it comes to photographs and strangers. We do not believe in forcing a child to “perform” just for the sake of capturing “the shot”; but rather we do our best to work with your kiddos, make them comfortable and enjoy that short minute or two we have. Please understand that all images are shot with the goal of being “real” – who they are in that moment. Some laugh, some stand stoic and pensive, some bounce around and giggle; we attempt to artistically capture all of this. The options included in the gallery of your son or daughter were the best shots we had on file and we hope you enjoy each of them! Thank you for your understanding.
