What To Expect

Headshots on a Neutral Backdrop

Fall Portraits are headshots for students and staff on a grey backdrop! The look is clean and modern, and the focus is on the student and not the background.

All students will be photographed in school-appropriate attire. Please make sure you are groomed and camera-ready; we'll take care of the rest!!

Hair & Grooming

No hats, please! We make it a point to help fine-tune hair (smoothing fly-aways, fighting the effects of humidity) before taking your picture, so please bring any hair grooming implements you might need for final touches before you're in front of our camera.

We suggest wearing hair down for long hair, as ponytails and messy buns do not photograph, and loose hair tends to get more messy throughout the day. And don't forget to brush your teeth!

Choose Your Yearbook Photo!

About 3 - 4 weeks after Picture Day, your Fall Portraits will be uploaded to our website in a password-protected gallery for viewing and ordering. This is also where you get to choose your Yearbook photo. If you do not choose your photo by the date indicated in the emails, one will be chosen for you.

Passcodes and proofing information will be sent through the school, but our Newsletter Subscribers will get notified first!

Picture Day Schedule Coming Soon

How It Works

1. We photograph students, faculty, and staff on Fall Picture Days--September 16 & 17.

2. Give us about 3-4 weeks to process the images and get them ready for viewing.

3. When the images are uploaded and ready to go, we will send information to the school telling students and parents how to access their student galleries, including passcodes and ordering instructions. If you are a newsletter subscriber, you get to know about new content before everyone else does (perks, yay!).

4. Log in and select your Yearbook photos! Make-up portraits are only for students who were absent on picture day or are new to the school. If you have issues with this, please email us, and we will discuss it with the school. Lot Five Studios will return to campus on a date yet to be determined.

5. Please place an order by the deadline date. If you missed the ordering deadline, don't worry—your images will still be available for purchase. However, you may incur a shipping fee, and your order will be shipped directly to you.

6. Make-ups will be offered for Fall Portraits on November 5. If you have already been photographed, the new image will be uploaded into the same gallery as your original photos within 3 weeks of the retake date. Your retake order may incur additional shipping fees.

7. Ordering Online. It's our thing. There will be a cut-off date for orders to be delivered free to the school, so please keep an eye out for the deadline. After the deadline, you can still place an order, but you may incur a shipping fee, and we won't offer as many cool packages or products as those we deliver to the school. Please expect delivery of your order within 4 weeks after the deadline.

8. You are a Star. We'd love to use your photo! At Lot Five Studios, we are always looking for smiling students to use as our models. If you are interested in allowing your school photo to serve as one of the faces for our school-specific marketing materials, please ensure you read the information at the end of your online order before checkout. If you are under 18, please ask your parents for permission. If you do not wish for your image to be used, please read the info and let us know. Don't worry; we never use any identifying information about students — just your awesome image.

9. Family Portraits, Headshots, and Other Good Stuff. If you need family portraits, corporate headshots, sports portraits, or Senior photos, please subscribe to our newsletter below or request a session! We offer quick and modern photography sessions during our "Open Studio Days" in our nearby studio in the Oak Forest area.
