CAN MY CHILD BRING PROPS?

• Your child is welcome to bring a bible, rosary, or any special item they would like included in the photos.

HOW MANY PHOTOS DO YOU TAKE OF EACH CHILD?

• I typically will deliver 2-10 images in the child’s gallery.

• Communion portraits will have both full length portraits and closer headshots of children.

• I always respect the temperament of the child and won’t force anything. Some kids are willing and ready to give me a variety of expressions and some are more reserved.

WHEN + HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY CHILD’S PORTRAITS?

• *ALL ORDERING IS DONE ONLINE*

• Within 2 weeks of picture day, you will receive an email with a link to view the galleries. Your child will have their own gallery from which you can view and order from. Only the OLV Basilica staff and parents/guardians will have access to the galleries. They will be password protected and only those with the direct link and password will have access.

• I recommend viewing and ordering images on a computer vs. your cell phone.

• Your child’s gallery will have approximately 2-10 images in both color & black and white.

• Galleries will be live for 2 weeks and all orders must be placed within that time frame. Digital images are available for purchase and you will be emailed a download link after ordering.

• The ordering process is simple, secure, and done completely online. Once orders have been placed, your photos and products will be delivered to the Basilica within 4 weeks and you can pick them up at the school.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

You can view first communion portrait pricing HERE. Pricing will also be available on the ordering page when galleries are live.

DO YOU RETOUCH THE IMAGES?

I do basic retouching to the images. If you have any advanced retouching requests, it is $10 per image or $30 for the entire gallery (i.e. removing stains on clothing, scratches or blemishes on skin, temporary tattoos, etc).
