I’m a sucker for bright clothes, or ones with lovely details – dresses, ties or bowties (suspenders are super cute too!), collared shirts, pretty sleeves, etc. are all great choices. Stay away from large graphics and logos, as they may be cropped in your final portrait. Most shots are mid thigh or waist up. If your child should remove or add an item of clothing or a special accessory, please contact Rona directly so we can make a note with your child’s name on our portrait schedule.

Please avoid dressing your child in black or clothes with large logos, hoodies, or sweatshirts.

I send out email notifications to let you know when your proofs are ready (typically within 4-6 weeks of picture day. Don’t forget to sign up to my email list so you’ll get gallery release notices and reminders!). You’ll access proofs through a password protected online gallery. You’ll have 2-5 poses in colour and black and white to choose from. Online galleries are open for 10 days. A late order handling fee of $10 is applicable to reopen or recreate a gallery after the ordering deadline. Late print orders will be shipped to your home for an additional fee (no school delivery for late orders).

After your receive your online gallery, you’ll have 10 days to place your order with a coupon code to have your product delivered to the centre at no charge (Print orders received after the deadline will be shipped to your home for an additional fee. A $10 late order handling fee may also be applicable to orders placed after this deadline). Everything is viewed, ordered, and paid for online, so there are no paper order forms to keep track of or cash to send to school. You’ll have the option to purchase prints, image blocks, cool 3D photo shelves holding a metal print, digital images with printing rights and other personalized photo products.

Grandparents and other relatives may also place orders through the digital gallery! Just share the link and password with them.

Print orders are delivered to the centre in bulk after the ordering deadline at no charge to you. If you’d like your print order sooner, there are alternate shipping options available (charges apply). Late print orders will be shipped to your home address for an additional fee.

You bet! Classroom composite photos are complementary for each Options Academy student (composites are like a mini yearbook page: each child’s name and photo appears on a single sheet with their classmates).
