Before ordering

How do I see my child's photos?

Scan the QR code on the front of the card your child brought home, or tap Enter Photo ID & Key and type the two codes printed on the card. You do not need an account or a password.

Where do I find the Photo ID and Photo Key?

Both are on the front of the card, in two boxes under the QR code, each with 8 letters and numbers.

The QR code on my card won't work. What do I do?

Make sure you are scanning the large QR code on the front of the card, the side with your child's name. The small code on the back is for school staff only. If the QR code still doesn't work, type the Photo ID and Photo Key instead.

I have more than one card (more than one child). How do I see the other photos?

After the first child, tap + Add photos in the top bar, then scan the other card or type its Photo ID and Photo Key. Then choose the photos and order everything in one basket and one payment.

I lost the card. How do I order?

Contact us with your child's name, class and school. For safety we do not give ordering details straight to a parent. We send them to your school, and the school passes them on to you.

My partner and I are separated. How can I order my child's photos?

Please ask your child's school, who can give you the ordering details. Contact us if you need more help.

Do the photographers touch my child to fix hair or uniform?

No. Our photographers do not touch children to adjust hair, uniform or appearance and do not comment on how a child looks. If an adjustment is truly needed, the child agrees first and a teacher is present. We ask schools to make any adjustments before children come to be photographed.

Do you take sibling photographs?

Yes. If your school has told us that your children are brothers and sisters, you get one card for the family. Scan it once and you see each child's portraits and a photo of them together, and you can order everything in one basket and one payment. If you do not see your other child, tell your school so we can check the list. Children at different schools have their own cards; use Add photos.

Placing an order

Do I need an account or a password?

No password. The Photo ID and Photo Key open your child's photos. To come back later, or to open Downloads, you sign in with your email: we send a one-time code to your inbox.

If the code does not arrive, check your spam folder, check the address you typed, and tap Send a new code.

Can I buy a digital photo?

Yes. Choose Instant Digital Download, pick the photo, and pay. Once your payment is confirmed it is in your Downloads.

Can I add a digital photo to my printed pack?

Yes. Add the digital download for the same photo to your basket as a separate item.

There is a photo in my album but I can't buy it as a digital download. Why?

You have probably already bought the digital copy. Look in Downloads. If it is not there, message us. The photo shows Purchased instead of an Add button.

Why does my photo have a watermark?

Photos show a watermark until you pay. After your payment is confirmed you can download the clean digital photo from Downloads, and prints are made from the clean photo.

Can I choose how my print is cropped?

No need. We prepare every print for you, centred on your child with space above the head. If a print arrives with the head cut off, tell us and we will check it.

Will I be charged for delivery?

No. Delivery to your child's school is free. There is no home delivery at launch.

Can I send the order to a different address, or abroad?

At launch, printed orders go to the school only. Digital downloads can be used anywhere in the world, so family abroad can pay online and download digital photos.

Can grandparents or other family order?

Yes. Anyone who has the Photo ID and Photo Key can open the photos and place their own order, so you can pass the two codes to a relative. Printed orders are delivered to the school.

How do I pay?

Secure online payment through Paystack. We never see or keep your card number or PIN.

Can you retouch my child's photo?

We do not routinely retouch photos. We may make colour or crop corrections as part of normal processing. If you think there is a technical problem with a photo, tell us and we will check it. We do not change a person's appearance on request.

After ordering

How long until the prints arrive?

Your school will be told when your order arrives, and your child will bring it home.

I bought a digital photo. How do I get it?

Tap Downloads and sign in with your email code (not by scanning the card again). Your photo is there ready to download. If you used a different email at checkout, sign in with that one.

Where is my order number?

In the confirmation email we sent when you paid, and on the Orders page after you sign in.

Can I change my order?

Message us as soon as possible after you pay. A digital photo cannot be changed once downloaded.

Who can see my child's photos?

Only people who hold your child's card details, and our own staff. Photos are not public and are not on social media.

How do I remove a child from my account? How do I log out?

On My Photos choose Remove followed by the names, for example Remove Ama. That clears your basket and session for those children and deletes nothing on our side. Tap Log out in the top bar. You are logged out after 24 hours of no use, and always after 3 days.
