FAQ:
What do I do if I already preordered?
If you preordered the full gallery - you will see a little down arrow in your student’s album (first clic the three dots on the right after opening the album). This will allow you to download all images. Note: it will be sent to your email.
If you pre-paid a reservation fee: You will receive an email with a code. Please be sure to use this code at checkout. Do not checkout without using the code!
How to order:
After entering the gallery - look for your family album. Clic on the image you would like to purchase and you will see various options for prints, wall art and digitals.
There are two options for digital images. Clic on any image. You will see the option to purchase one image (Single photo) or the full album (All photos in album).
The crop looks funny in the preview - will it print that way?
For some reason, the preview shows a square regardless of the actual print size. I hand-check every order, so not to worry! I try to keep the full person within the frame. If there is a specific crop you would like, feel free to note that in the comments.
