Fall portraits

Fall portraits are head-and-shoulder photography that chronicles your child’s passage through the school years. Ideal for framed display and gift-giving, theses portraits are also used for yearbooks, student ID cards and many other services we provide our partner schools.

Pixilife School Portraits offers several value-added enhancements to make the most of your child’s portrait:

• Retounching to remove blemishes
• Soft focus a studio-style effect that subtly softens your portrait
• Black & White portraiture that reflects a timeless look

We also back our work with the industry’s strongest satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your portraits for any reason, return them on Retake Day and we will re-photograph your child at no additional charge. If you are still not pleased, return your retake portraits and we will refund your entire purchase price.

Spring portraits

Spring portraits are a tradition of their own. There are several reasons to take advantage of this program when offered in your school:

Convenience — Taking studio-quality portraits in school saves you the time and hassle of finding and working with an outside studio.

Gift-giving — Spring portraits are timely keepsakes for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter and other spring gift-giving occasions.

School support — Many schools receive a contribution for each package produced or purchased—your portrait purchase benefits your school.

While fall pictures are used in yearbooks and student IDs, spring portraits offer more opportunities for variety and personalization. Pixilife School Portraits offers casual, studio-style looks for these pictures, and students have more freedom to create a look that’s truly their own.

Along with the Spring Portraits, we offer a variety of keepsake novelties:

• Eye-catching and durable laminated bookmarks, bag tags and wallet-size portraits
• "Sticky" portraits printed on self-adhesive paper for letters and crafts
• Portraits printed on metallic film paper for an extra elegant look
