Click on the gallery link(s) below to be redirected to the proofing page. Click on your child’s name, then enter your email address and the gallery password.
Select your favourite images and choose what print package, digital files or personalized photo product you’d like to order. Pay securely online.
Digital files are sent as an email download link as soon as you check out. This link is active for 7 days. Download immediately. On time print orders are delivered to the school.
A free class photo is included in select packages, or can be added on to any purchase for just $5 (+GST). The class photo is a collage composite (think of this as a mini yearbook page: a small portrait of each child is shown with their name)
If you purchase from two galleries, you are eligible to receive 25% off your third and subsequent gallery purchases. Contact the studio with your first two order numbers to receive a discount code. Refunds will not be issued.

I love to keep my portfolio current with adorable faces! To give permission for me to use your child’s photo (without their personal info), complete this release form.
We have more than just prints! Look for these unique ways to share and display images of your kiddo when you’re ordering. Some of the most popular items include metal collage walls and mugs.
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 followed by their homeroom number. No spaces or hyphens.
Your child’s name is Jessica Jones and they are in homeroom 10; the password for your gallery is JJONE10. Suppose Jessica has two siblings, Emily is in homeroom 4 and Michael is in homeroom 10. The passwords for each gallery are unique. Emily’s password would be EJONE4. Michael’s password would be MJONE10.
Your password is the same as the first child listed in the gallery name
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 and their homeroom number (Example: Child’s name is Olivia Ma and they are in homeroom 10. The password for your gallery is OMA10).

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 is a $10 late order fee that may be applicable to orders placed after the ordering deadline plus shipping charges for prints to be delivered to your home address (no school delivery for late orders).

If you’ve entered an incorrect gallery password too many times, you will be locked out. This is a gallery safety mechanism to combat unauthorized access.

If you are still having trouble, contact the studio for help.
** 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.
