FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should my child wear?

Whatever is comfortable, but please avoid graphics or neon clothing. Because the backdrop is gray, I recommend staying away from gray as well. All individual shots of preschoolers will be taken bust/shoulders up. Babies and sibling photos may include more of their bottom half.

How will I get my photos? Do I need to pre-order?

Register at the button above (it takes 20 seconds!), and I will email you a secure password-protected online Shootproof gallery within 3 weeks of picture day. Your school staff will also let you know when the gallery is ready to view. No pre-order necessary! You’ll have your choice of 3-5 images, edited in classic color and black and white. Some children are more expressive and more comfortable in front of the camera and may have more photos in their gallery. The entire school will be in the same password protected gallery, divided by location and student. If you would prefer a private gallery, please contact the photographer.

Your prints can be easily ordered from the site, and digitals can be purchased and downloaded at your convenience. YOU get to choose which images you print and display and gift. You can even opt to send the link to family members, and they can order the size prints they prefer. All physical prints and products will be delivered to school within two weeks of the ordering deadline, or shipped to your home for an additional cost.

How do I receive a class photo?

Each print and digital order will receive a free class photo. These will be delivered to school with print orders. No need to add to cart unless you need a second print!

When checking out, does "I'll pickup" mean it will be delivered to school?

That's exactly right! If you prefer your prints to be shipped to your home or a family member's home within the U.S., click "ship to me."

Will Abi Schmit Photography use my child's image online or print marketing?

I may contact you for permission to use your child's image on social media and in my marketing, but I will never share without your permission, and I never share a child's name or identifying information. Your safety is my priority!

Can you retouch my child's photo?

All photos have been edited and color corrected, but if you need special retouching (for example, a scratch or snotty nose), you can add to cart in the "Retouch" menu. Digital images, if purchased, will be delivered electronically within 5 days.

How can I use my digital image?

If you purchase a digital image or full gallery, you will receive a Print Release and be able to print wherever you prefer to receive your prints from. You are free to use in Christmas cards, or share on social media. Giving photo credit to Abi Schmit Photography is always appreciated.

I have more questions. How do I contact you?
