Yes, we are happy to retake your portraits as many times as you like until you are 100% satisfied with how they turned out. We never charge for retakes. You may mix and match your sessions when you place your finished portrait order. To schedule a retake, simply login using your client ID and password that you created when you made your first appointment and click the schedule appointment tab. You will schedule another appointment just as you did with the first one. Let the photographer know that you are coming in for a retake and they will waive the session fee.
Although we offer retakes for free, please keep in mind that we are only on campus for a limited time. Make sure that you consider this when choosing a date for the first appointment. Unfortunately, a retake may not be an option if we are no longer on campus.
Each school is a little bit different, depending on what your school requires for the yearbook. When you make your appointment, we will let you know the requirements specific to your school. You will also receive an email with details 3 days before your portrait appointment. Watch this short video to prepare in general for your portraits.
Because most of our portraits are taken on location, it takes a little time to get them posted online. Even with today’s digital world, we need to receive the paperwork and images from the photographer before we can post them. In general, your portraits will be posted online within 2-4 weeks. You will receive an email when they are available to be viewed online with instructions on how to select an image for the yearbook. Please allow 24 hours from when you first receive your email for all your portraits to be uploaded.
We always recommend that you schedule an appointment as soon as possible, however, sometimes life gets in the way. It is possible that we will have more appointments available at a later date, but this is not a guarantee. Please keep a lookout for emails from us and continue to check back on the appointment tab to see if more appointments have been added.
It’s simple. Just make a portrait appointment! First, you will need to create an online account with us. You should have received a Lauren Studios Client ID by email or mail. Use that Client ID here to create your online account. Then, just follow the prompts to make your portrait appointment. Once you are photographed, you’ll automatically be guaranteed to be included in your school’s yearbook.
These are the different photo finishes. Artisan Matte is our finest finish. It includes multiple layers of matte lacquer to enhance the portrait and protect it from fading for years to come. Pearl Metallic includes multiple layers of glossy lacquer creating a softer, but also protective finish. The Economy finish has no protective lacquer and is printed on standard photo paper.
