How To Prepare For Picture Day
PICTURE DAY OUTFIT
A few days or even a week before choose the outfit. Involve your kids in this process so they can feel good and confident in what they are wearing. Maybe have a few outfits for them to choose from in case they are picky dressers. Make sure the outfits they choose avoid bright neon colors or character graphics if you can so the focus of the photos can be on your sweet childs’ face.
DAY BEFORE PICTURE DAY
Make sure they get plenty of rest. A cranky kid will not be happy with the disruption in routine on picture day. A well rested child will just go with the flow and be a happy camper (usually).
Third, go over the outfit choices again so that they know what to expect in the morning. If you have a child that battles over outfit choices (I know I did, and that struggle is real), this will help alleviate that and make the morning go smoother.
MORNING OF PICTURE DAY
Make sure your child has a good breakfast to keep any of the morning krankies away. But do this before they get dressed so that the outfit you have chosen stays nice and clean. Talk with them about how fun picture day is going to be (I am always cracking jokes with the kids to keep them engaged and happy).
What To Expect After Picture Day
WHEN WILL PHOTOS BE READY?
Your online school gallery will be ready in about 1 week from picture day. A QR code will be sent home with your child on picture day. You can scan that code to get registered to be notified as soon as photos are ready.
HOW DO I ORDER PHOTOS?
All ordering is done online in your private school gallery. There are no paper order forms to fill out! There will be an instructional video on this page showing you exactly how to order your photos once the galleries are ready.
ARE PHOTOS EXPENSIVE
Absolutely not! The packages and prints are comparable to the big box company without the negative big box experience!
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PURCHASED PHOTOS
You will have one week to order photos with no shipping on a $40 or more order. These photos will be delivered to your home. After the one week ordering deadline, you will still be able to order photos but will be charged about $6 per order to be shipped directly to your home.
CAN I SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTOS
Absolutely not! All photos will have a watermark on them and you will need to make a purchase to get the watermark removed. Your purchases support my small business and every order is appreciated!
WHO DO I CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS ABOUT MY GALLERY
You can contact me for any questions about your gallery. You can just shoot me an email at rebecca@novaportraits.com
