RETAKES

If you don't like your child's images and want a retake, you must sign up for retakes. Retakes will be delivered to the original galleries and new images will be labeled with "RE" for "retake" when images are processed, usually about 3 weeks after the retake date.

Picture Day Schedule
How It Works
1. We photograph students on Fall Picture Days--10/17-10/19.
2. Give us about 2-4 weeks to process the images and get them ready for viewing.
3. When the images are uploaded and ready to go, we will send information to the school telling students and parents how to access their student galleries, including passcodes and ordering instructions. If you are a newsletter subscriber, you get to know before everyone else does (perks, yay!).
4. Request a retake if you are unsatisfied with your image--Retake day is November 17.
5. Place an order by the deadline date, please. Orders will be delivered to the school.
6. If you missed the ordering deadline, don't worry--your images will still be available for purchase; however, you will have to pay a shipping fee, and your order will be sent directly to you.
7. Sign up for our Oak Forest-specific newsletter to get emails about school pictures. Click the button below and sign up today!
A Few Final Notes:
- RETAKES will be offered for Fall Portraits on November 17. Sign up for the School Picture Newsletter to receive notices regarding fall pictures and retakes! If you have already been photographed, the new image will be uploaded into the same gallery as your original photos within 3 weeks of the retake date. Your retake order may incur additional shipping fees.
- Ordering Online. It's our thing. There will be a cut-off date for orders to be delivered free to the school, so please keep your eyes peeled for deadlines. After the deadline, you can still order, but you may have to pay a shipping fee, and we don't offer as many cool packages or products as the ones we deliver to the school. Please expect up to 4 weeks after the deadline for order delivery.
- You are a Star. We'd love to use your photo! At Lot Five Studios, we always look for smiling students to use as models. If you are interested in allowing your child's school photo to serve as one of the faces for our school-specific marketing pieces, please make sure to read the info at the end of your online order before checkout. If you do not wish for your image to be used, please read the info and let us know. Don't worry; we never use any identifying information about students--just your awesome image.
- Family Portraits, Headshots, and Other Good Stuff. If you are in need of family portraits, corporate headshots, sports portraits, or Senior photos, please subscribe to our newsletter below or request a session! We offer quick and modern photography sessions during our "Open Studio Days" in our nearby studio located in the Oak Forest area.
