When Will My Order Arrive?

2 min read Updated August 2026

We know you're excited to receive your child's pictures, and we work hard to get every order processed as quickly as possible.

Most school picture orders are processed and leave our lab within 7–10 business days.

During our busiest season—July through September, when school portraits and senior photography are at their peak—processing may take up to two weeks before your order leaves our lab. We appreciate your patience during these busy months as our team carefully prepares every order.

Whenever possible, orders are shipped with tracking information. Once your package leaves our lab, delivery times are determined by the U.S. Postal Service or the shipping carrier. While we do our best to process and ship orders quickly, we're unable to guarantee delivery dates once a package is in transit.

If you have any questions or concerns about your order, we're always happy to help.
