Picture Retake Day--Tuesday, November 26th


If you are not completely satisfied with your portrait and would like to try again, you have the opportunity for a free retake. ESTABROOK’S Retake Day is Tuesday, 11/26/19. Be sure to mark your calendar! Please return the undamaged portrait package to the photographer on Retake Day. If your school has class photos, please keep it and just return the individual portraits. If you have any specific instructions for the photographer, please jot them down so they show through the envelope window and can be easily spotted. Retake Day is scheduled rain or shine. If portraits were taken outside on Picture Day, and the weather is inclement on Retake Day, portraits will be taken indoors using our natural, outdoor background. Retake Packages will be distributed at the school approximately 3 to 5 weeks after Retake Day.
