Picture Retakes: A Message from Strawbridge Studious
Our team is working as quickly as possible to turn around the fall portrait packages. We have run into several supply chain issues at various stages of our production which have held things up considerably. Unfortunately these things are out of our control. We hope to get the packages (and proofs) to the school before the holidays. When the packages are delivered anyone who is dissatisfied can return the package for a full refund or we can schedule another retake day. Instructions for this process are listed on the back of each portrait package envelope. Families will also have our spring portrait date as another opportunity to purchase a student package.
