PICTURE DAY IS COMING! 

Pre-ordering Photos (AdvancePay)

• Your student is bringing home a piece of paper with their Access Code on it and instructions on how to pre-order photos. In big red letters at the top it says STOP! TAKE A PHOTO OF THIS PIECE OF PAPER! PLEASE DO THIS so you can refer back to the code if you lose the paper.

• To begin the process, text your student’s access code to 90738 to receive access and ongoing alerts* or visit https://my.photoday.com/ and enter your access code when prompted.

• AdvancePay is open until October 4, 2026.

• Instead of choosing a package ahead of time, you will choose a credit amount.

  • It’s like purchasing a gift card for $25 and getting an additional $5 gift card free.

  • Once the photos are ready you’ll get an email or text with a link to choose your package, a la carte items, digital files, etc., and select your favorite photos.

  • AdvancePay amounts are associated with your phone number or email so make sure to use the same information each time you log in.

  • You’ll receive a special code to use at checkout that will apply the additional “gift card” amount. TO RECEIVE THE ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT YOU MUST ENTER THIS CODE WHEN YOU CHOOSE YOUR IMAGES AND COMPLETE YOUR ODER. IF YOU FORGET THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO RETROACTIVELY APPLY IT.

    • For Riverwood, this is a discount of $6 per order. If you have multiple children you need to complete an AdvancePay order for each student, then please reach out to get the multi-student discount code.

• The best pricing is available with AdvancePay, but you can order anytime.

  • You do not have to purchase an AdvancePay credit for your student to be photographed, and you will have the option to make a purchase after picture day though no discounts will be available for those who have not purchased an AdvancePay credit.

  • Pricing for all individual items and packages is available to view before selecting your AdvancePay amount.

  • All orders must be placed online. If there is an extenuating circumstance, please reach out to me directly at contact@alicaliphoto.com.

Picture Day

• If you want your student to brush their hair, remove a jacket, etc. before their photos, please be sure to send in a brush or comb with the child and communicate to them any specific instructions.

• We respect your student’s bodily autonomy. We ask permission before any physical contact with your student and if they say no, we respect this. This means if we ask if we can fix their hair and they say “no” we will not make any adjustments to them. This may result in imperfect hair, wrinkled shirt, etc., but believe respecting the right for your child to say no to a stranger touching them is more important than any photo.

After Picture Day

• After photos are taken the viewing and ordering phase begins.

  • All photos are posted into a private, access code protected gallery. Anyone you share your access code with will be able to view and/or order your student’s photos.

  • At this time, if you made an AdvancePay purchase you will be notified by text or email with a link to select your favorite images, how you want to receive your images- prints, digital files, etc., and complete your order. If you did not complete an AdvancePay order you will have the option to make a purchase by using the Access Code sent home with your child before picture day.

    • BE SURE TO USE YOUR AdvancePay DISCOUNT CODE AT CHECKOUT! Discount codes cannot be applied after your order is placed.

• To receive free shipping back to the school you will have 10 days to complete your order or place a new order.

• Once your order is completed the photos are sent directly to print and cannot be cancelled or changed.

• Digital image files are delivered immediately and cannot be refunded.

• Physical prints and other items ordered within the 10-day ordering window will be delivered to the school and distributed to your student. Purchases made after the 10-day ordering window will be shipped to your home and you will be required to pay shipping costs.
