1.
What is the delivery time for our pictures?
On average, it will take approximately 3-4 weeks for your pictures
to arrive. If your school has a class composite picture as part
of the package, the composites will arrive shortly thereafter as
part of a separate shipment.
2.
How long does it take for each class to be photographed?
The average class of 25 students takes approximately:
PK- 2, 25 min.
3- 6, 20 min.
7-12, 15-20 min
We photograph all students by name using our "camera card"
system. Approximately 2-3 weeks prior to the photography date, we
will ask your school to supply us a student list. This list should
include name, grade homeroom and teachers name. If possible, we
would like to have the file for this information on diskette. The
file format should be:
ASCII, Comma delimited, DBF, Excel
With this process we will generate camera cards. The cards will
arrive to you sorted by grade, homeroom or teacher's name. Please
hand the camera cards to the students just before coming to the
photographer. This will insure that the card does not get lost or
damage.
3.
How should we bring the classes to the photographer?
Classes should arrive at the photographer In an orderly fashion
with the help of a teacher or moderator present.
When using our "STANDARD PROGRAM" students should come
to the photographer with picture money envelope and camera card
in hand. When camera cards are used it is NOT necessary to bring
students to the photographer by packet purchased.
If your school is using our "COLOR CHOICE" program, the
students MUST come to the photographer with picture money envelope,
camera card, and in the order of color background purchased (1 through
6). Any student not purchasing a packet will receive the GRAY background.
All teachers will receive the GRAY background also.
4.
Can the school help to make picture day an enjoyable experience
for all?
Yes, although we try not to make picture day the school's responsibility,
the day will move along smoother with the school's help. The school
can help in the following ways:
1) If the school has a particular schedule that
has to be followed, just fax it to us ahead of time and we will
go over it with our photographer.
2) If possible, supplying parent aides to help the photographers
stay on schedule.
3) Following the time structure for classes stated earlier in this
brochure.
4) By making sure students come to the photographer according to
the guidelines stated in this brochure.
5.
What if a student forgets his/her money on picture day?
Unfortunately, we would have to photograph the student as nonpaying.
That student will not receive a packet of pictures when the school
photos are delivered. We can have the student photographed again
with their envelope and camera card on the absentee or retake date.
6.
Can more than one student be photographed in the picture?
Yes. We do limit the number of children photographed to two. Please
see the photographer, he can let you know when would be the best
time to bring the children to the camera
7.
Where would be the best location to have the photographer setup
?
A suitable place for picture taking would be: gym, stage, library,
empty classrooms (without desks).
Our photography setup takes an area of 10 x15 foot area. This allows
us enough room for students to move through the process and create
a smooth picture day.
8.
What happens if a parent has a problem with their child's school
picture packet?
Parents are to contact barksdale school portraits directly. There
is literature packed in every packet that informs them about procedures
they should follow.
9.
Do you offer any additional photography services?
Yes we do! We offer special "Spring Sale" programs. These
programs can benefit the parents by offering another opportunity
to have their children photographed. The programs can benefit the
school as an additional "fund raiser". Call us for more
details!
