How to order your child's photos
Once your photographer sends the link, ordering is straightforward — pick favorites, choose a package or individual prints, add any upsells, check out with Stripe. This guide walks through each step.
1.Open the gallery from your magic link
Your child's photographer sends a one-time link by email or text. Tap or click it on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. No password required. The link is unique to your family; don't forward it to people who aren't the parents/guardians on file.
2.Browse your child's photos
Inside the gallery, every photo shown is one the photo company's AI matched to your child. There is no need to browse a full event gallery — only their photos appear here. Tap any photo to enlarge, swipe to navigate, and tap a heart to mark favorites for later.
3.Pick a package or order individual prints
The studio sets up package tiers (commonly Bronze / Silver / Gold) with print sizes and digital downloads included. Tap a package to see what's included, then tap which photo you want in each spot. If packages don't match what you want, scroll down to a la carte — individual prints at any size.
4.Add optional upsells
Some studios offer extras: AI retouching (per-photo, smooths skin / corrects color), text overlays (your child's name and grade printed on the photo), or specialty products like Memory Mates (combining individual portrait + team composite). Each upsell shows as a toggle or selector before checkout.
5.Check out securely with Stripe
Stripe processes the payment securely; the studio never sees your full card number. You can pay with credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or other methods the studio enables. You'll receive an order confirmation email with the receipt and order number.
6.Track your order
After purchase, your order moves into the studio's fulfillment workflow. Print orders ship from either the studio's in-house Print Station or a partner lab — timing depends on which the studio uses. Digital downloads are available immediately from the order confirmation email.
7.Bookmark the gallery for later
You can return to the gallery at any time using the original link. On a phone, tap the share/save icon and choose "Add to Home Screen" to install the gallery as a quick-launch app. The link stays valid for the duration the studio has set — typically several months to a full year.
