ONLINE CODE

To access your student portrait gallery, please enter your online code by using your child's seven-digit STUDENT ID, followed by the code F20.  For example, if the student ID is 1234567, then the online passcode would be 1234567F20.  Please enter this passcode and your email to log in to the gallery. (Please use the email where you would like order receipts and/or digital downloads sent.)

 

RETAKES AND MAKE UP DAY IS MARCH 12TH AND MARCH 22ND!

A date for retakes and make-ups is on FRIDAY, MARCH 12th, and also on MONDAY, MARCH 22nd! We will be back on campus to photograph students and staff who missed picture day or were unhappy with their photos. We will repeat our "drive-up picture day" process, so keep an eye out for details. If you would like to share with us tips on how we can make your student's picture better, please let us know here.  Please do not fill out a retake form if your student was absent or missed picture day; we have you on our list!

 

"GALLERY UNAVAILABLE" ERRORS 

Although we were on campus for two days, we were not able to photograph the entire student population due to Virtual or Remote Learners who were not able to make it.  

If you are attempting to log in to your student's gallery and get an error message stating "The gallery you are attempting to access is not yet available. Please contact the photographer for more information about this gallery." this may mean that we did not photograph your child due to illness or absence from Picture Day. If your child was sick or is a Virtual or Remote Learner, and did not come to campus to be photographed, then we will have no images on file for that student, and the gallery will be "unavailable" until images are added to the gallery. 

If you need help with retrieving your online code to access your child's gallery, please scroll down below and click on the Password Help button. 

 

 

ORDER DEADLINE FOR FREE DELIVERY TO THE SCHOOL

This year you have two options for receiving your orders. After placing items in your shopping cart, you will be given the option of a free delivery to the school (for In-Person students), or you may ship your order home (best for Virtual or Remote Learning students) at checkout.  

If you would like to pick up orders on campus, please PLACE YOUR ORDER BEFORE FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12th for delivery to the school free of charge.  Anything received after that date will ship to you directly, and additional shipping fees may apply.

Retakes Sign-Up: VIRTUAL (REMOTE/ONLINE) STUDENT
Retakes Sign-Up: IN-PERSON (FACE-TO-FACE) STUDENT

How Does Picture Day Work This Year?

Drive-Up Picture Day for RETAKE/MAKE-UP Days are March 12th & March 22nd

Original picture days were December 8th and 9th

We adhere to a strict social distancing protocol when photographing individuals during this pandemic and are taking every precaution to protect the health and safety of students and staff during their portrait times. 

 

FBMS students, faculty and staff will be photographed in the Multi-Purpose Room while socially distanced during Picture Days.  

 

In-Person Students:

Face-to-Face students on campus will come to the Multi-Purpose Room in their science class and will be photographed per their teacher's scheduled time.

 

Virtual/Remote Learning Students:

Due to Covid safety concerns, we will photograph Virtual/Remote Learning students utilizing a "drive up" picture day model, which has been successful at other schools. Parents will pull up to the circle drive, let the student out and wait in the car. The student will enter the Multi-Purpose Room to be photographed, and will depart the campus immediately after. Photography will take approximately 5 minutes. Students, please wear your masks to campus!

 

Schedule:

Schedule for Retakes/Make-up is pending school administration. 

 

 

COVID Safety

As you know, the pandemic has created many challenges with children in schools, and school photography is no exception. We at Lot Five Studios are making every effort in keeping students and faculty (as well as ourselves) safe! 

All photographers and photography staff will be masked and the use of sanitizing products such as hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes will be utilized. All classes who are not in a learning pod or cohort will remain separated.

 

 

No Pre-Paying for Pictures

We are not your old-school photography company, yay! You get to see your photos BEFORE you buy them and select your Yearbook photos as well. Online proofing will be available a few weeks after we photograph students and staff. You will be notified via school newsletters and Remind when proofs are available. 

Sign-Up & Drive-Up for Virtual Students

 Virtual Student Sign-Ups

Lot Five Studios will be on-campus to photograph both In-Person and Virtual students as well as faculty and staff on December 8th and 9th during school hours.  Students attending on campus will come during class time, no sign-up necessary.

ALL Virtual students must sign up so we know what day to expect you--don't worry if you are late or need to make changes, just please come by.  You may sign up at any time that fits your schedule. Pictures will take about 5 minutes. 

Please wear clothing appropriate based on school dress code guidelines and a mask!  Please scroll down below for additional information on school pictures. Click the orange button below to sign up.

 

 

Location: Multi-Purpose Room on the Circle Drive

Face-to-Face (In-Person) students on campus do not need to make an appointment--they will come down to get photographed during their science class periods.

For Virtual (at home) students, please sign up and come to campus during your appointment time. All Virtual students (parents) must pull up in the circle drive, and walk inside the Multi-Purpose Room to get photographed. Photos will take approximately 5 minutes.

 

Please scroll down for schedule.


What To Expect

So here's the drill...please take note of the following: 

For Your Safety

2020 has been a crazy time for all of us. Please know that when we photograph students and staff, we adhere to safety standards which include socially-distanced photography between the subject and photographer, removing of subject's mask for less than 5 minutes while keeping far away from others, and an abundance of hand sanitizer in between. Additionally, all Lot Five Studios employees are masked at all times when working with students and school staff.

For more information on our Covid-19 policy, please click the button below.

Our Covid Policy

Hair & Grooming

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.

For long-haired girls, we suggest wearing hair down, as ponytails and messy buns do not photograph as well as loose hair, and tend to get more messy throughout the day. Hair bows and accessories should be smaller in size as to not distract from your face. And don't forget to brush your teeth!

Headshots on a Neutral Backdrop

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

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

Questions? Contact Us

Online Galleries

About 2 - 4 weeks after Picture Day, your portraits will be uploaded to our website in a password-protected gallery for viewing and ordering.

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