Thanks for your patience! Oak Forest Spring 2023 Portraits are now available for ordering on our site. Please read below to find out more, then click the button to see your photos.

Orders will ship directly from our lab to your home and NOT to the school.

Please use the code SpringFree23 to waive shipping fees on orders totaling more than $36. 

Don't forget to combine your shopping carts for multiple children to save on shipping. If you have any trouble with this, read the instructions below, or contact us to combine your children's galleries (spring only). 

Want to order an item that is not in our catalog? Ornaments, coffee mugs, etc? No problem! Please email or text us and we can make that happen. 

If you do not know your student's HISD-issued student identification number, it can be found on your most recent report card.  Most older students know their ID as their "S-number" which they use to log into the school computers. 

You can contact the school to ask, or send us a password request and we'll be happy to help you out. 

Where's My Download?

Orders for digital downloads are sent to you via email immediately after completing your order.  After ordering a digital download, please check your junk/spam folder for the email with the download link.  

Before purchasing, please make sure your email address is entered correctly when logging into your student's gallery; this email is where downloads and receipts are sent.

Link Expiration

Also, remember to actually download your photo! The download email does expire, so don't delay, download today! Please contact us if you have any trouble. 

Where Should I Print My File?

Image Size and Print Resolution

We save our files as jpgs as they are the consumer print industry standard, and are easier to download than larger file types.  Anything larger is hardly used for personal photos (more for commercial business uses).  

In our industry, images with large file types are often degraded anyhow, because consumer printer technology has limitations with larger file sizes. Social media uploads require much less, so KB works perfectly for this use.  

As long as your DPI (dots per inch) is at 300 and your pixel (px) size is at least 3000, you should have no issues with any professional photo lab, printing as large as an 8x10 print, even if your image is under 3.0MB (file compression size).

That said, if you have additional questions on this, let us know and we will help you figure it out. 

Please wear a school-appropriate free dress outfit on your classroom's designated picture day per the schedule below. 

If your student will miss or did miss their scheduled day, please send them on a different day, if you can. We are on campus for 3 days total, and offer NO RETAKES for Spring Pictures.
