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 (eg 12A, 05A, 78A). No spaces or hyphens. Exceptions are Kindergarten students, who use “K” in place of a homeroom numeral.
Your child’s name is Jessica Jones and they’re in the 5A homeroom; the password for your gallery is JJONE05A. Suppose Jessica has two siblings, Emily is in the 12A homeroom (grades 1 and 2) and Michael is in homeroom 09C. The passwords for each gallery are unique. Emily’s password would be EJONE12A. Michael’s password would be MJONE09C.
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 grade (Example: kindergarten child’s name is Olivia Ma. The password for your gallery is OMAK).
Find your child’s grade below. Clicking the grade will open a new page where you’ll see a grid of names. Click on your child’s name and enter your own email address along with the gallery password to view the photos.

** 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.
