Photo Ordering: A How-To

Parents -

I ran into a mom the other night at the Sunflower softball game (our team lost in the second game of a hard-fought double header) who mentioned she didn't really understand how to order the school photos. I always figure that if there's one person who admits to not understanding something, there must be others lurking in the shadows. So, a few notes on how to view and order school photos:

1) Go to the online gallery (http://sunflowermontessori.smugmug.com/) and click on the appropriate class. Every student should be filed under Seeds, Sunflowers, etc., with the exception of the kids who came to the Make-Up and Re-Shoot Day last Thursday. Those folks have their own gallery, which you'll see when you go to the site.

2) Browse around 'til you find a photo (or photos) you like. When you've clicked on one you're interested in purchasing, you'll see a green button in the top right corner of your screen called ADD TO CART. Click on it.

3) A drop-down menu will appear, where you should choose "THIS PHOTO"

4) From there, a menu will pop up with all kinds of sizes of prints you can purchase. SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE: On the top toolbar, you'll see three options - Prints, Merchandise and Downloads.

                            

If you click on DOWNLOADS, you can purchase a full-resolution copy of your photo file. It comes with a copyright release, so you can print and distribute your photo however you'd like forever and ever, amen. Because there's no processing or shipping fees associated with downloads, the highest percentage of money goes to Sunflower for these purchases. At $20, they are $5 cheaper than last year, 

THIS PHOTO SITE WILL BE OPEN AND ACTIVE FOR ORDERING THROUGH THE END OF OCTOBER, THEN WILL BE TAKEN DOWN. 

YOU MUST GET YOUR ORDERS IN BY THE END OF THE MONTH. 

If after reading the above, you still have technical questions/confusion/concerns, please let me know. I'd be happy to help if I can. If you have procedural questions about how/when/why school photo day was run, holler at Katie and Correy. I am but a lowly volunteer.
