SIBLING SESSIONS

Let’s create beautiful portraits of your children together with our complimentary sibling photo sessions.

These quick studio-style sessions take place before the school day begins and are available to families at MSH 1538. Each session lasts about five minutes and allows us to photograph siblings together before students head to class.

Dates & Times:

April 21, April 22, and April 23

7:30 AM – 8:15 AM

Siblings who do not attend Manhattan Schoolhouse are welcome to participate.

Helpful Notes

Please allow a few minutes of flexibility in your schedule, as sessions may occasionally run behind depending on how our youngest students are feeling that morning.

A parent or guardian may need to remain nearby during the session. If you are unable to attend your scheduled time, please cancel your reservation so another family can take the spot.

Sibling portraits are optional and require advance registration.

Spots are limited.

MAKE-UP/RETAKES

We’re happy to give it another try!

Sometimes Photo Day doesn’t go exactly as planned - maybe your child wasn’t feeling their best, or the timing just wasn’t right. If your child was absent on Photo Day or their portrait didn’t capture them at their best, you may reserve a retake appointment below.

MAY 18 MONDAY

MAKE-UP/ RETAKES DAY

Important details

Retakes are for individual portraits only. Class photos and sibling photos are not available for retakes.

Your child’s new photos will replace the original images in your gallery, and the previous images will no longer be available once the retake is completed.

Retake appointments must be reserved in advance.
