Advice for families who pre-ordered Story Highlights
This page is for families who pre-ordered their kinder photos as 'Story Highlights' - a set number of individual digital downloads for $10 per image. It takes you through the details of how to make your photo selections, add to your order, download your files and the printing options available, once you gain access to your gallery.
Please take note of the date that your gallery expires, this is when all orders are due, and your files need to be downloaded by. This date was provided in the email inviting you to view your gallery. It came via Pixieset and provided your PIN and access code. Please check your junk mail if you can't locate it, or email Rebecca.

Which images in my gallery can I download?
You will not be able to download from your gallery, until your pre-purchased, individual photo selections are made.
Once you have selected which image/s you want to receive, I will then adjust your gallery so that you may download all of the images you have purchased.
To select your image/s, save it/them to the favourites list I have set up for you in your gallery called 'Highlights pre-order image selection'. You should find it in the drop down menu of favourites lists, which will be visible when you click on the heart icon of your chosen image.

How do I add digital downloads to my pre-order?
After saving the correct number of images included in your pre-order, to your favourites list, you may realise that you wish to purchase additional downloads. To add any image in your gallery (official group and out-takes included), simply save them to the same favourites list and purchase the correct amount of extras for $10 each, at Item AO1 in your gallery store.
If you wish to download all images in your gallery, you will find the option to upgrade to The Full Story at Item AO2. This price will be determined by your pre-order, and is $120 minus the amount you spent on your pre-order.
If you would like to add quite a few images to your order, please consider whether the upgrade provides better value for you. When you upgrade you receive all individual photos of your child, all official group photos and out-takes, any photos taken with friends and bonus photos of the kinder setting.

A tip - Creating Favourites Lists & Ordering from them in the store
You may wish to start your own favourites list during the process of deciding what you would like.
To create a favourites list, click on the heart icon on an image. You can create different favourite lists if you like. They can be helpful in narrowing your selection down.
Then when you get to the print store and need to select your image, use the drop-down menu (top left) and change from ‘All Photos to ‘My Favourites’.
You will then only see the images that you put in the favourite list, when making your selection.

How do I get my photos printed?
Print purchases are not an option until after digital download selections and purchases have been finalised. You are then welcome to print your own or place a separate print order with me. Upon finalising your download purchases and selections, your gallery store will be changed to offer a print menu instead.
Remember, all purchased images are yours to print from, whenever and wherever you wish.
I provide the following four options, as easy ways for you to access high quality professional prints at low or cost price.

PRINTING OPTION ONE
Purchase prints directly from Rebecca
CONVENIENT. LOW COST. BEST VALUE FOR SMALL ORDERS. PURCHASE VIA YOUR GALLERY. FREE DELIVERY
ORDER ITEM P5 - Low cost prints
Free delivery to the school/kinder if placed by due date. Suits small orders of one or two prints, or for those wanting convenience. Good way to add a group photo print to your order, if it is the only print you want.

For prints of the images you have chosen as your individual downloads, the prices are:
6x4 inch - $3

PRINTING OPTION THREE
Purchase from gallery printer
THIS PURCHASE OPTION WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE IN YOUR GALLERY STORE UNTIL YOUR PHOTO SELECTIONS ARE FINALISED.
Once your choices are made I will adjust your gallery and store settings to include this printer at cost price, and you will be able to place a separate order with the printer. In the meantime, you can view the cost prices here. You will need to click on the cart icon and then select BROWSE PRODUCTS to see the full range.
CONVENIENT. PRINT YOUR OWN AT COST PRICE. MOST EXPENSIVE OPTION. BOUTIQUE PRODUCTS. PURCHASE VIA YOUR GALLERY
All print options provided by the gallery printer (these will NOT have an ORDER ITEM #) are available at cost price in your gallery.
The printer will send them directly to you, so they charge a delivery fee starting at $16.50. You only have access to this purchase option until the gallery expiry date.
This is a convenient option to buy boutique prints from your gallery without needing to upload to another website. It is not the cheapest option.

PRINTING OPTION FOUR
Purchase display products with prints, directly from Rebecca
SOMETHING SPECIAL. DISPLAY YOUR PHOTOS. LOW COST. CONVENIENT.INCLUDES PRINTS. PURCHASE VIA YOUR GALLERY. FREE DELIVERY

This is a way to order prints of your photos, along with a beautiful product to keep them in for your own viewing or gifting. I am selling framing mounts, display stands and matted albums.
I have also provided links, so that you may also purchase directly from the supplier instead if you wish.
If you purchase from me there is a small markup for my handling costs. I will deliver these products to your school/kinder. Prints are included at cost price (no markup).

Fast track your order
To be honest, I am not in the season of my life when I can confidently predict an exact time frame for getting all of the orders out. The time frame varies based on what orders are placed, and whether anything unexpected arises with my young family, in particular if anything causes my youngest child to miss his own kinder sessions!
For the majority of families, kinder photos are a long-term investment and keepsake, and not needed within a specific time frame. But if you need your photos for gifting, or because you are moving away from the area, or any other reason, please advise me of the date you require them, when placing your order. You can do this via email - rebeccalandycreates@outlook.com
I can get digital files to you within a week, (probably sooner in a pinch) but obtaining prints for you will need approximately two weeks notice.
Otherwise, orders are sent out as they are completed, and I start with those who have made the biggest investment.
I don’t use AI editing, as I am unsure of the privacy ramifications, so it does take time to work through the large amount of photos that I provide.
I am more than happy to fast track orders, just be up front about your needs and I will meet them.

Start a payment plan
You are welcome to start a payment plan for the purchase of your digital files. Print purchases however, must be paid for at the time of ordering as there is no mark up in the price.
My payment plan option is simple, pay what you can, when you can, within the year that the photos were taken. You will receive your order once it is all paid for.
I don’t want anyone to miss out on their photos, email me to make a payment plan for yourself.

Email me any time
If there’s too much info to read (there is), our brains don’t work the same way (does anyone's) and you just want to order x,y,z and you can’t %$**&# work out how to do it… just email me!
I will tell you exactly which items to order so that you pay the best price. My packages provide great value, with a lot of options that I believe meet everyone’s preferences, and I don’t want you spending a second feeling frustrated or angry.
