General Questions

Q: Can I make any substitutions? back to top
A: Because of the turn-around time to get the pictures back to the school we cannot make any substitutions. When you get your pictures back there will be a reorder form and you can order whatever else you need at that time. You can also order more than one package now.

Q: How long will it take to receive my picture package? back to top
A: We do our best to return your portrait order within 3-4 weeks from the date photographed and often get them to you within 2 weeks.

Q: Can all my children be photographed together? back to top
A: We reserve spring pictures to photograph siblings together. Our fall backgrounds are only large enough for one subject. Check with your school or contact us to find out if spring pictures are scheduled in your school.

Q: What if I am not happy with the way my pictures turned out? back to top
A: We will return to most schools for a retake/absentee day. Contact us to see if your school will have a retake day. Then simply have your child return the package to the photographer at the camera on that day. You may indicate any instructions on the outside of the envelope if you would like to make a note. We also reserve 3 days in our studio for underclass retakes. Contact us for more information.

Q: How do I get a refund for pictures that I am not happy with? back to top
A: All of us at Sonney's know how important your pictures are to you and want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase.  We do our best to get it right the first time.  If, however, something is not right with your order and we are unable to correct it, simply fold your pictures to fit any envelope and mail them to the address on the outside of your envelope. Please indicate that you would like a refund. Include your name, address, phone number, your child's name and school name.  You can expect your refund within 2 weeks.

Q: Can I write one check for all my children? back to top
A: You may do so by indicating which child's envelope we will find the check enclosed. Please indicate this on a note inside each child's envelope, including the child that has the payment enclosed. Please note children's names in the memo of your check. 

Underclass Pictures

Q: What is the difference between a Class Composite and a Group Picture? back to top
A: A Class Composite is made by combining all of the individual pictures onto a single picture.  It is usually not returned with the picture package but printed after absentee / retake picture day to try to insure that ALL students can appear on the picture. A Group Picture is a single image of a class taken on picture day and can only include students that are available when the class comes to the camera.  The school decides which class picture option is offered at your school.

Q: Can I pay for my pictures with a credit or debit card? back to top
A: We happily accept Visa, Master Card and Discover Card.  Your picture day flyer envelope has the credit card form on the picture flyer.  Simply complete the information, enclose it in the payment envelope and seal the envelope.

Q: How long do you keep the underclass pictures online to order? back to top
A: Generally we keep them for up to 1 year.

Q: Can you change the color of the background once the picture has been taken? back to top
A: No, you would need have a retake done.

Q: What if I forgot to send in my order on school picture day? back to top
A: You may call our office within 2 days of the original picture day. We can take your order over the phone with a Master Card, Visa or Discover Card. Keep in mind that your child would have been photographed on the traditional background. Or, you may have your child's picture taken on retake day on your background of choice.

Senior Portraits

Q: How long will it take for my Senior pictures to be complete? back to top

Q: Can I order my senior portraits online? back to top
