Picture Day: April 28 and 29

Retakes Dates:

Hello Parents!

Welcome! Your child's gallery is now available for viewing.

Picture day went smoothly! The children behaved wonderfully, and it was a joy working with them. I am delighted with the images I captured.

We are thrilled to have you join HM Design and Photography, where we cherish children and families. I can't wait to share their gallery with you.

After viewing the gallery, you can select your favorite photos and conveniently place your order through your private online gallery.

To keep everything simple and organized, all picture day details are available below, including:

  • What to expect on picture day

  • Clothing tips

  • Sibling photo information (if offered)

  • Ordering and gallery details

  • Privacy preferences

This page will answer most questions and will be updated as picture day approaches.


WHAT TO EXPECT

Fun, relaxed, and kid-friendly photography designed to capture genuine expressions.

  • Multiple images of each child so their personality shines

  • Natural, candid moments—not stiff poses

  • A quick and easy process during school hours

CLOTHING TIPS

Simple choices photograph best.

  • Neutral or soft colors work beautifully

  • Avoid large logos or busy patterns

  • Layers and textures add interest

  • Choose outfits your child feels comfortable in

SIBLING PHOTOS

Sibling photos are available when siblings attend the same school (offered in the fall).

SEASONAL EXTRAS

In the spring, we may also offer:

  • Cap & gown photos

  • Graduation portraits

ORDERING YOUR PHOTOS

Ordering is simple and flexible.

  • You’ll receive an email when your child’s gallery is ready
    (typically 2–3 weeks after picture day)

  • Choose your favorite images

Options include:

  • Customizable packages

  • A la carte prints and products

PHOTO PRIVACY

Your child’s privacy is a top priority.

All images are delivered through secure, professional platforms (PhotoDay and ShootProof) with password or access-code–protected galleries. Only families with the correct link or code can view photos.

Images are never publicly shared without permission. If you have any privacy requests, we’re happy to accommodate them.
