Here’s everything you need to know about viewing + ordering your beautiful children’s photos:

Hello, friends :)

Thank you again for joining in on this! I’m so excited to show you what we got.

To see your child’s school photos, start by clicking on the button at the bottom of this page! Click ‘Enter gallery,’ type in your email, then select the folder with your family name, and then each of your children will have an individual folder.

If you have any questions, please come back and see if I answered it on this page, and if you’re still unsure, then feel free to email me. I try to anticipate all your questions and answer them here, to save everyone time!

Printed photos, digital files, wrapped canvases, and retouching services are all available for purchase in this gallery! Digital files will be automatically emailed once you complete your purchase, and prints will ship to you directly from the printer. If you order Retouching or Canvases, I will touch base with you through email, then I’ll send you your retouched files, &/or order your canvas(es) to make sure it’s just right and have your canvas shipped to your home.

Some reminders, in random order:

-> Every child has their own folder, and the photos of the whole sibling group will be inside one of their folders!

-> I have prints available in sizes from little wallet photos to 11 x 14 inches — and they will all be printed on my favorite photo paper ever if you buy them here. It’s a Deep Matte paper, and I think everything looks next-level gorgeous when printed on it :)

-> There is a discount that will automatically apply, but I want to be sure you know: if you want to buy ALL of the digital files, the first child’s folder costs $75, and each child’s folder after the first costs $60. Again - this will apply automatically when you add 2 or more full-folders of digital files, and you should be able to see the markdown in your cart!

-> The gallery won’t show you the option to buy the whole folder of digital files if you look for it while inside your Favorites folder! If you’ve made a Favorites folder, just go back to that kid’s full gallery, and you should see that option again.

-> Just like I always do, I have only made simple color corrections and exposure adjustments to these photos — I can spend more time retouching scratches, blemishes, sometimes stray hairs, etc. — and that is what I mean by “retouching services”! Feel free to ask me about whatever you’re hoping for, and I’ll tell you if it’s something I can indeed fix. If you want any printed photos retouched, please buy the retouching first and tell me what you’d like me to work on. After I’ve let you know that I’ve updated the files in your gallery, then you can order your prints!

-> Please respect everyone’s privacy and only look at your children’s photos!

-> Some kids are willing and ready to give me a variety of expressions, while others are more reserved. This is why some kids may have more photos in their galleries than others.

-> Remember that Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are coming! I think these photos make amazing gifts :)


Also, here is a video of how to order!

This is a video that I share when I release galleries to a school, to show you the ordering process and help you feel confident as you order. This was specifically made for one of my schools, but the info should be almost all the same about how to order. If you feel like you can figure it out, no need to watch this whole thing - but please do watch this if you run into any questions. Also - many of the emailed questions I get from parents are just small technical issues on their computer! I am not a computer whiz, but here are some tried and true tricks:

  • If you are trying to place an order on your phone and it is giving you trouble, please try using a desktop computer instead.

  • If you experience glitches (like not being able to add an item to your cart, not completing your order, etc.) it is more likely your computer that is glitching, and not the gallery website, and sometimes all it takes is closing out of everything, or maybe restarting your computer, and starting the process fresh.

  • Please be sure to enter your email address correctly, because if you purchase digital files, a download link will be automatically sent to the email address you enter! When you download the photos, they should go to your Downloads folder.

  • If problems persist, please do not despair! Just email me to let me know what’s going on, what you’re hoping for, and I will help.

If you still have questions after reading this page and watching the video, you can send a message through the “Say Hello” button in the top right corner of the page, or just email me at shelbymlynn.photo@gmail.com.

Thank you, and ENJOY your photos!
