At Somerset, each student gets an oil portrait. Much better than wallet size photos.

Life touch--they take anyone's picture and you don't have to buy until later. And--you can buy on line and find a coupon code!!

These will be the yearbook picture (if you have a yearbook) whether you order or not. They definitely try to get everyone.

Yes they do. They take everyone's picture. Our school uses Lifetouch, and m0y experience has been that if you don't order on picture day, you get a proof with the company watermark splashed all over the picture and another order form.

NP here. Just fyi, at my kids' mcps school, individual photos are taken in fall and spring, and class photos in the spring. I didn't realize that when the oldest started K. Now I only order photos in the spring!

PP again - sorry, I just saw that you have LifeTouch. I think you can pay after and they'll take the picture anyway. Worth asking though!
Did they give you a website? There might be info there.

What company is it?
We've had both Freed Photography and LifeTouch. When we had Freed, they had you pay ahead of time. LifeTouch let you pay after.

Not at College Gardens but I think in our K class maybe 4-5 kids out of 25 did a retake. So schoolwide, a ton of kids.

I don't know how many kids do the retake or if it's disruptive to the classroom environment, etc. If you don't pre-order and don't like the pic/proof, I think you are SOL for the $0 spent.

I think it is cheaper if you order before...but not worth it to me...
