Hey Paidea…Pictures are Ready!!
Please place all orders before 10/30/26
****Please read all the information here before ordering!! All the information you need to access the photo gallery will be found here along with an ordering video to walk you through the process.****
All print orders will be shipped to your home.
You are responsible for all shipping costs.
All digital orders will be sent out within 24 hours along with print release.
No class composites due to no demand/sales.
VIEWING: To view your child’s school photos, click on the “VIEW PHOTO GALLERY HERE” at the bottom of this page. The gallery password is: paidea2026. Once you enter the gallery, you will find your child’s album. If you had sibling photos, both your children along with the sibling photos will be in the older child album. Your album password is your child’s four-digit birthday. (Example: My birthday is January 19th. My password would be: 0119). If you have more than one child in your gallery, enter the oldest child’s four-digit birthday (or other children). If your password doesn’t work, send me an email with your child’s birthdate and I’ll make sure it’s updated right away.
ORDERS - You can order prints and digitals until 10/30/26. After the ordering window closes, only digital files will remain available. Digital purchases come with a print release for future printing and archiving. Digital files are verified and sent by me. Please allow 24 hours to receive them. All digitals must be downloaded using your computer, not a phone or tablet.
Class Composites - There is no demand at Paidea for class composite photos due to low sales. Class composite photos take alot of time, energy, and design to put together. Since there is no demand, they will not be produced. Thank you for understanding!
VIDEO: For easy ordering, here is a video that provides a quick tutorial on how to place an order through the online galleries. You can find it below.
Please place all orders before 10/30/26
THANK YOU: Words can’t express how grateful I am to be invited into your school/daycare to capture all the personalities and smiling faces! We’re on a mission to change the way pictures come home and we’re so glad you’re a part of it! We hope your child’s photos reflect their true personality with a modern, genuine, and fun twist. The opportunity to bring amazing school pictures to amazing kids is a mission so dear to our hearts!
NOTE: Please note that some children are, by nature, more expressive in front of the camera than others. For this reason, not all galleries are equal in size or variety. It is my aim to capture genuine expressions and always prioritize your child’s comfort! Enjoy!
Please contact me with any ordering questions or issues.
Best,
Melissa Soto, Smile School Portraits
