Frequently Asked Questions

Passwords

What is my child’s/children’s password?

Your login details were emailed to you either by your school or by us.  Please check your emails for these details. 

Tips:

  • If your child's name is spelt with an accent or macron, please be aware that your password to access the gallery will exclude these characters. However, the class/group photos will display the correct spelling.
  • If the school have sent you your password with a space between the name and number the space will need to be removed.

If you are unable to find the email, please complete your details via this link and our admin team will help you: Customer Enquiry.

My password doesn't work?

Please check the following:

  • Ensure the password is entered correctly, paying attention to uppercase and lowercase letters.
  • Ensure that there are no extra spaces before or after the password.
  • Special charachers such as apostrophes ('), accents, macrons or hyphens, are excluded from your password.
  • In most cases, your password includes your first or last preferred name at the end.  If your name has changed since your official enrolment or if you have multiple preferred name options, please try both/all variations.  For example, first name Daniel, try variations such as Danny or Dan.

If the password is still not working, please complete the Customer Enquiry form and our team will send you the correct password.

General

Why doesn’t my child/ren have an individual portrait picture?

Your child/ren may have missed the photo opportunities or were absent on the photo day/s. If you are sure this is not the case, please complete the Customer Enquiry form and we can investigate this for you.

Why is my child/ren missing from their Class/Group photograph?
  • Traditional Groups - If your child was absent on photo day, their name will appear under 'Absent'.
  • Composite Classes - If your child missed the portrait photo opportunity at school, their name should be listed under Unfeatured.  

Some schools opt for an additional session for absentees.  For updates, check if cultural/sports photography sessions are available later in the year.

If they were enrolled after the photographs were taken & supplied to the school, their name will not appear under Absent.

Please note:  Once photographs are supplied online and to the school for internal records and yearbook purposes, they are not updated with new enrolments, additions, changes or replacement images that may be taken at later dates.

Where do I find a sibling photo of my children?

These photographs will appear under one or other sibling only - most often the eldest child’s passcode/password.

I missed having my indiviudal portrait opportunity, can I come to your studio?

We do not operate a public studio. Our team works from a home office, so this is service is unavailable.

Why are my class photographs a series of individual portraits?

Composite class photos were introduced as a COVID-inspired solution in 2020 when lockdown prevented us from taking class photos in schools.  This option, created by combining individual portrait prints of each person, allowed schools to offer a class photography alternative.

Currently, many schools prefer the composite class photograph option due to its benefits.  It minimizes disruption throughout the entire school and reduces absenteeism during class photos.  We also provide catch up sessions for individuals to ensure that most students are included in class photos.

Please note: Once the photographs have been supplied online and to the school for internal records and yearbook purposes, they are not updated with new enrolments, additions, changes or replacement images.
