MugsyClicks will provide all primary images from both your student's sessions on your school's yearbook disk.

Because this is an automated process, we have no way to indicate to the school your choice. Please contact your school's yearbook advisor if you have a preference on which image you want if your student had a remake session.

The remake session is NOT THE DEFAULT CHOICE  (we can not determine which session is their preference.  The indicator is active in both).

You are responsible for letting your yearbook advisor know your image selection from the first or second session.

Promotional Code Question

We understand that these photos are precious and have done our best to file them away but Archived images prior to 2009 are not available online and are very tricky to find as they are no longer attached to the Teacher or child's name.

IF you have the original order envelope with the image jpg number listed it makes this process much easier.  If you do not have the image numbers there is a research fee of $50 for each year and subject that you would like us to locate.  This is a time consuming process and is only available in our off season- January and July.

Once located these images can be purchased at the current archive price list.

If you would like us to research previous years images the following information is necessary:

Your name:
Phone Number:

For each year and student please provide us with necessary data:
Student Name:
Photo Year:
Grade:
Teacher:
Description of child (clothing, hair, eye color, etc.  Please be as detailed as possible)

Be sure to include "Older Photos, Pre-2010" in the email.

Individual Portrait Ordering Question

Please place your order online.

Online ordering is open through June of the current school year.

If ordering online is not an option for you, please contact our Customer Support at 415.459.6847 Ex #2.

Online orders for Individual Photos arrive in approximately 1 week, including ship time.

Orders for Class / Group Photos / Class Gallery Prints use a separate handling system since they require a proofing process by the school administration as well as editing. Once those processes are complete the photos are generated and shipped on a separate schedule from individual portrait photograph orders.

Customized Gift Items require approximately 3 weeks.

Due to the subjective nature of photography and illegalities of duplication we cannot issue refunds on photos... so please order carefully. If you are unhappy with the quality of printing you may return the entire photo package to our studio for review. After we have reviewed your prints, we can offer you 75% refund on the print prices, minus the Shipping and Handling fees.  We can not issue these monies back to your card without recieving the prints back from you.  It is important that we have reference for conversations to our vendors as well as our photographers training.  However, if we review your order and determine that our standards have not been met by our lab or photographers, we are happy to reprint or replace photos at no cost to you.

Professional, high quality portraits at school photo prices . . .

A quick head's up here.  If you have read our "Heart-Felt Message" you know our philosophy regarding pricing so you can just get back to the business of your life; you have heard enough about this subject from me already. If not, dear customer, here is my manifesto of commerce...

Okay, so let's talk frankly about our prices.  No tap dancing.  We provide professional portraits at school photography prices.  If you truly compare us to our competitors product and services you will find we are all pretty dog-gone close in price,  but not at all close in quality or services.  Advantage: Mugsyclicks!

We use some of the best photographers your community has to offer.  They spend time being trained in MugsyClicks Style to produce the best product possible.  We all use expensive professional gear.  We have almost 20 years experience in the "new school of photography".  Our combined years of photography experience is in the hundreds!

Our photographers shoot for free unless you like what they produce and decide to purchase.  One print alone from many of these photographers would set you back about $100. You as parents are using your combined buying power to get a GREAT PRICE on a professional product at ABSOLUTELY NO RISK TO YOU. There is no 'send your child to school with a check in the envelope and cross your fingers that you'll like what you've bought'. This is a free service with no commitment to buy. So yes, we charge a nominal $10 re-shoot fee, yet only in the case of a customer-elected request.  

We offer multiple images to preview before purchasing. If we don't do a good job you don't order.  We take credit cards, offer online services, we give you extended purchasing deadlines. 

Our investment in online ordering services is helping to heal many a broken family argument over who got the "picture envelope"... they can view and order separately and have the photos delivered directly to their home. Relatives can order for themselves as well.

We provide a large variety of free services to your schools.  Our company is incredibly customer service focused in this seasonal "quick in quick out" industry.

So there it is... a long winded answer, which in shorthand translates to, " we will never be the cheapest- but we will always strive to be the best value"

Photo Scholarships are available.  If you have recently lost your job or if your economic situation is such that you need help purchasing your child's photos you may email us - info@mugsyclicks.com with a request for a photo scholarship. (Having been a single mom raising 2 kids I know what it is to be challenged and we will do what we can to help you out.) 

Humbly yours,

Linda Russell CEO and still in the trenches

Check out http://www.mugsyclicks.com/services/tips-hints.aspx.  You will find information regarding photographing students of all ages.

Just make sure your child makes it to school on the Re-Shoot/Make Up Day and we'll take it from there.  Please contact your school and find out what day they have requested for a Make-up.  Make-up days are at the request of the school and we require at least 10 students signed up before we commit to coming back to the school and photograph.

Forgot it was picture day?
Wish they had worn something different?
Needed a haircut?
Wished they had combed their hair?
You wanted “smile” and they wanted “cool”?

Just want to give it another go?

We are delighted to re-photograph your student for only $10. (Please see below re: Reshoot Fee)
And remember: you can order from the first or second photo session!

To request a retake:

1. When viewing your photos online click the retake button to order a retake.  This option expires 48 hours prior to scheduled make up day.

ALL RETAKES MUST TAKE PLACE ON THE “MAKE-UP” PHOTO DAY. NO PRIVATE SESSIONS AVAILABLE AT THIS PRICE.  We require a minimum of 6 student requests to return to the campus.

From our customer service phone log:

Our photographers do everything they can to modify the light to minimize glass glare. There are a few things we have no control over due to the fact we photograph outside-light sensitive lenses and highly reflective locations. We can sometimes retouch glare but dark tinted glasses should not be worn on picture day. We generally ask to photograph the child both with their glasses and without in order to give you the choice.

Due to the complicated scheduling that schools have to balance on picture day some students will end up coming to the camera after participating in some kind of messy activity.  If you are concerned about this, our suggestion is sending your child to school with an extra shirt, blouse or sweater to be put on just for photos.  A bit of preplanning can make a big difference in getting the best portrait.

Make-up shoots are available for most schools--please check with the school after the original photo day to verify that a make-up session will happen for your school. On these make-up days we photograph any child that was absent or needed their photos retaken due to photographer error.

If you would like a take of your child for stylistic reasons however, please place retake order from your child's online gallery.  This option is turned of approx. 48 hours prior to school's scheduled Make Up date. All reshoots must take place on the "makeup/reshoot" photo day there are no private sessions available at this price.

All special requests regarding photo day should be communicated to the photographer via a note presented ON PHOTO DAY.  We are not responsible for any requests (clothing, hair, etc) not presented to us at the time of the photo session.  We do not presently have a system to match email or phone requests to a specific child in advance of photo day. 

If the photographer made an error and there is a make-up day scheduled we will be happy to re-photograph your child as a make-up. You must return the envelope by the ordering due date with a note requesting make-up photo and why. This is only in the event of photographer error.

We would love to photograph your students and staff!  Just let us know who is in charge of photo day hiring and scheduling and we will follow up with information.
