  • When is my child's photo day?
    The photo day(s) is printed on your child's envelope. If you do not have your child's envelope, check with your child's school.
  • I need to change my child's name. Where do I go?
    Fotoworks is restricted from making any adjustments to student names unless the school's photo day coordinator grants approval. This restriction is in place because the school has provided us with legally verified student data that aligns with their enrollment records. Without the express permission of the school, we are unable to modify any details in this dataset. For all name change requests, we recommend initiating contact with the school ahead of the photo day to secure official approval for the name change through their established channels. Once we receive confirmation from the school, we can proceed to amend the name during our proofing process. It's important to note that Fotoworks cannot be held responsible for names that remain unchanged without proper authorization.
  • I can't find my child's envelope, what should I do?
    If you have misplaced or lost the envelope, simply ask the school for a spare blank envelope. Please note that spare blank envelopes won't have your child's access key printed on them.
  • What is an access key and where can I find it?
    An access key is needed to order your child's photo online. Each student has a unique access key which cannot be used to order for other students. The purpose of an access key is for security and safety purposes, meaning only people with the access key can order photos of your child. A list of all student access keys are also provided to the school administration office. Your child's access key is printed on the top right of your child's envelope. ​For Child Safety and Security reasons, we cannot release access keys over the phone. Please ask the school or complete the Access Key Release Form on our website if you require your child’s unique access key.

If the school does not have another photo day, we offer retakes at our office in Osborne Park during both the term and school holidays (excluding the year end break). Please note that group photos cannot be re-taken or edited, therefore your child's name will appear in the absent line.
