Student Portraits Fall 2025

September 23 & 24

Welcome Back, Eagles!

It's Picture Day!

 We know the school year just started, but what a perfect time for photos! Fall Portraits are coming soon. Lot Five Studios is super excited to return to Garden Oaks Montessori for School Picture Days. We bring out your child's true smile in our modern school portraits. Check out the info below to see what's in store for you and your student.

What To Expect

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

Headshots in Uniforms

Fall Portraits are headshots for students and staff on a grey backdrop! The look is clean and modern and focuses on your child and not the background.

All Garden Oaks Montessori students in grades PreK3 through 8th will be photographed in uniforms. Please make sure your student is well-groomed and camera-ready!

Questions? Contact Us

Hair & Grooming

We make it a point to help clean faces and fine-tune hair before we take your child's picture (like smoothing fly-aways, fixing headbands, etc.). Please your child to bring any hair grooming items they might need for final touches before they're in front of our camera.

For long-haired girls, we suggest wearing hair down, since ponytails and buns tend to get messy throughout the day. Hair bows should be small so as not to distract from the face. And don't forget to ask your kids to brush their teeth!

Make Ups and Retakes

At Lot Five Studios, your satisfaction is always our goal. If your child missed their picture day, or you'd like them to get a retake for any reason, please sign up for Retake Day on--November 5th.

Please send us a retake request by clicking the button below. This will ensure that your child will get pulled from class, and it will also let us know how we can do better and improve your Yearbook photo.


NOTE: NEW and ABSENT students will be pulled automatically--please do not sign up for retakes if your child is new or was absent.

Retake Please!

Online Proofing

About 2 weeks after Picture Day, your child's Fall Portraits will be uploaded to our website in a password-protected gallery for viewing and ordering.

Proofing information will be sent via email or through the school, but our Newsletter Subscribers will get notified first!

How It Works

1.  We photograph students on Fall Picture Days--9/23 & 9/24.

2.  Give us about 2-3 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.  Request a retake if you are unsatisfied with your image--Retake day is November 5th.

5.  Place an order by the deadline date, please. Orders will be delivered to the school.

6.  If you missed the ordering deadline, don't worry--your images will still be available for purchase; however, you will have to pay a shipping fee, and your order will be sent directly to you. 

7.  Sign up for our GOMM-specific newsletter to get emails about school pictures. Click the button below and sign up today! 

Meet Your School Photographers

Hello GOMM Families! We are Lot Five Studios--a small, local photography company based in Garden Oaks and Oak Forest with more than 15 years of experience photographing children in our neighborhood schools. We are former GOMM parents ourselves!

Our approach is to connect with your student to get natural smiles and laughs, all while documenting their growth through school photos.  We are determined to bring you beautiful photography in a fresh, modern style while helping your child gain self-confidence and be at ease in front of a camera.

We're local moms whose kids went to SRL ECC, GOMM, Durham, FBMS and Energy, HSPVA, and Heights. We live and work in the area, so don't be surprised if you spot us at Kroger or Starbucks on 43rd or if your kids recognize and greet us. We are super excited to be part of your community again and can't wait to reconnect with you! See you soon, Eagles!

A Few Final Notes:

  • RETAKES will be offered for Fall Portraits on November 5.  Sign up for the School Picture Newsletter to receive notices regarding fall pictures and retakes! 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.

 

  • 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. 

 

  • You are a Star.  We'd love to use your photo! At Lot Five Studios, we always look for smiling students to use as models. If you are interested in allowing your child's school photo to be used as one of the faces for our school-specific marketing pieces, please read the information at the end of your online order before checkout. 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.

 

  • Family Portraits, Headshots, and Other Good Stuff.  If you are in need of 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 located in the Oak Forest area.
