School pictures with personality.
A missing tooth, a shy smile, a little extra confidence—school pictures capture the details that change all too quickly. At Hilary Peters Photography, I take a patient, personable approach to help students feel comfortable and let their personalities shine.
Serving schools and families throughout Yucaipa, Redlands, and the Inland Empire, my goal is to make picture day simple for schools and enjoyable for students, with timeless portraits families will treasure.
No advance purchase required. Families can view their student’s photos in a private online gallery before deciding whether to order. Simply register for your school’s photo notifications, and you’ll receive an email when the gallery is ready.
The Process
1.REGISTER FOR NOTIFICATIONS
Complete your school’s registration form to receive an email when your student’s photos are ready. Submit one form per student—no advance purchase is required. Already registered? You’re all set!
2.GET READY FOR PICTURE DAY
Check your school’s picture day date and help your child choose something comfortable that makes them feel confident. Keep clothing simple, follow the school’s dress code, and leave the posing to me and my team!
3.LET THEIR PERSONALITY SHINE
Students will be photographed during their school’s scheduled picture day. With gentle guidance and a little patience, I help each child feel at ease while capturing a portrait that celebrates who they are right now.
4.VIEW, CHOOSE & ORDER
Photos are typically ready within 7–10 business days after picture day. Registered families will receive an email with access to their student’s private gallery, where they can view the photos and order their favorites—with no obligation to purchase.
FAQ
Do I need to purchase before picture day?
No; families can view photos first.
What does preregistration do?
Registers the family for notification; it does not mean photos are already available.
When will photos be ready?
Photos will be available for viewing within 7-10 business days from your student(s)' picture day.
I forgot to register. Can I still see the photos?
Yes, definitely! Just provide me with your student(s)' first name, last name, ID number (if known), school, teacher, and your name and notification email. Your school should also have provided a link to send me all that information.
What if my child was absent or needs a retake?
Each school has a scheduled makeup day. Please see the school and/or the flyer to find the date.
What should my child wear?
Comfortable clothing, simple patterns, and school dress-code guidance. Hats will not be allowed in yearbook or ID card photos, but we can take a secondary photo if you'd like.
What is included in retouching?
Basic retouching removes minor blemishes and softens harsh facial lines. It does not include stray hair or 5 O’clock shadow removal.
Please request a quote on any additional retouching requests.
I ordered digital files. What are they and how long do they take to receive?
Digital files are high resolution copies of your portraits sent to you via your provided email. They include a copyright release which allows you to go to any photo printing service, such as Walgreens or Walmart, to get as many copies of your photos printed as you would like. You will receive your digital file(s) approximately 3 to 5 days from your order date. If you need them sooner, please call our office for assistance. Please advise that once the files are sent the order is no longer refundable.
How will I receive my order?
Print orders placed before your school’s ordering deadline—typically two weeks after galleries are delivered—will be delivered to the school for distribution. Orders placed after the deadline will be shipped directly to your home, and shipping charges will apply. Please check your gallery for the exact deadline.
Digital files are delivered to the email address provided with your order within 3–5 days of purchase. Be sure to check your spam or promotions folder if you don’t see them!
