Missed the photo day or not 100% Satisfied with your images? - Book in for a Free Re-take
We always strive to make each image great, but in the thousands and thousands of children we photograph each year, some images are not as perfect as they can be, we are only human. A hair is covering an eye or out of place, a collar was missed and is creased, things happen. If you missed this terms photo session or are unsatisfied with your portraits in any way, we are happy to invite you to have free sitting at our studios located just outside Dalkeith.
Select Retake in the services tab of our main menu and book your free slot.
Where do I find my child's UNIQUE ID details?
You should receive a card or letter home from your school or nursery on the photography day, on which you will find the UNIQUE ID, often in red text. it will consist of the first 4 letters of your school or nursery name followed by 5 or 6 letters and numbers.
Your images may not be accessible right away, it can take a couple of days to have them ready but if you register/login and enter your UNIQUE ID the site will store it for you and email you when your images are live.

My Child has not received a Leavers Set when others have.
We try our best to find images from every year we have photographed in each school, however it is not always possible to make full sets. It has been our policy to not send out sets with less than 3 images, 3 years of school life for each child. This year due to covid and most schools missing some or all of 2018-2020’s images we have made up sets that do contain 3 images but not any that only had 2 or less.
If your child missed alot of photography sessions and only had 2 images availalble, we will not have made the set up. If you have images from more than 2 years that we have taken, you are welcome to send these to us and we will endeavour to make up a more complete set for you.
For this or any other query please contact us.

We have searched our records as thouraly as possible but we can still miss things, if you know there is an image missing that you already have a copy of them, taken by us, you can upload a copy at the checkout stage of ordering your set, we will then place that image in the correct position in a new set and send that out to the school for you at no extra cost. Instructions are found on your order page, please log in with your Unique ID to do this.
