2023 Spring Portraits
Spring Portraits are Now Ready to View!
Thanks for your patience! Stevens Elementary 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.
ONLINE CODE
To access your student's portrait gallery, please enter your online code which is your STUDENT ID. Please enter your child's Student ID and an email to log in to the gallery. This email is where order receipts and/or digital downloads are sent, so please make sure your email is entered correctly.
NOTE: Students should know their student identification number issued by the school. Some kids know this as their "S-number" which they use to log into school apps with. Please ask your student, or contact us for photo gallery access.
SHIP TO HOME
Orders will ship directly 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.
LOG-IN ISSUES?
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.
DIGITAL DOWNLOAD INFORMATION
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?
For information on where to print out your photos, read here: https://www.lotfivestudios.com/printing-digital-files1
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.
What To Expect
So here's the drill...please take note of the following:
Updated Picture Schedule
Wait, Where are My 2022 Pictures?
Meet Your School Photographers
Hello Stevens Families! We are Lot Five Studios--a small, local photography company based in Garden Oaks and Oak Forest with more than 13 years of experience photographing children in our neighborhood schools.
Our approach is to connect with your student to get natural smiles and laughs, all while documenting their growth through school photos. We are determined to bring you beautiful photography in a fresh, modern style while helping your child gain self-confidence in front of our cameras.
We are moms that live and work in the area, so don't be surprised if you spot us at Kroger or Starbucks on 43rd! We are super excited to be part of your community and can't wait to meet you! See you soon, Stallions!
All the Details For Spring Pics
What you need to know about Proofing
1. We photograph your child on their Spring Picture Day. See the schedule and check with your teacher as well.
2. If they were absent or if you forgot to send them in free-dress, please send them the following day and we will photograph them. Reminder: there are no retakes for Spring Pictures.
3. Give us a few weeks to process the images and get them ready for viewing, usually about 3-5 weeks for larger schools.
4. When the images are uploaded and ready to go, the school will post information on our behalf, letting parents know how to access their child's gallery for viewing and ordering. Reminder: there are no retakes for Spring Pictures. If you are a newsletter subscriber, you get to know before everyone else does (perks, yay!).
5. Place an order by the deadline date to have your order delivered to the school for free. Orders will be distributed to the teachers.
6. If you missed the deadline, don't worry--your images will still be available for purchase, however, you will have to pay a shipping fee so it will be sent directly to you.
7. Sign up for our Stevens Elementary-specific newsletter to get emails for all things related to school pictures. Click the button below and sign up today!
A Few Final Notes:
- NO RETAKES will be offered for Spring Pictures as this program is done as an additional service to the families of Stevens. If your child misses their scheduled day, or forgot to wear free dress, PLEASE send them back to be photographed again the following day, if possible. Thanks for your understanding.
- Ordering Online. It's our thing. There will be cut-off date for orders to be delivered to the school, so please keep your eyes peeled for deadlines. After deadlines, you can still order, but you will 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 6 weeks after deadline for order delivery.
- Your Kid is a Star. We'd love to use your child's photo! At Lot Five Studios, we are always looking for smiling students to use as our 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 child's image to be used, please read the info and let us know. Don't worry, we never use any identifying information about your children--just their awesome image.
- Coming up this summer! Family Portraits, Grad Sessions, 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 Arts District off Sawyer and I-10. Check out what we're up to this summer!
