Logging on to your Portrait online account
Q - What is a PSN/Portrait Security Number?
When you have a Bounty portrait session, you will be given a unique Portrait Security Number (PSN) by the Bounty photographer. This is a unique code that (along with your postcode) allows you to access the Bounty Portrait website to view your baby’s images. You will need to keep this safe and only pass it on to people who you consent to viewing and/or purchasing images of your baby.
Q - I’ve lost my PSN
You can easily retrieve your Portrait Security Number by visiting Bounty.com/portrait and clicking "Forgotten your Security Number?" You will just need your e-mail address (that you supplied to the Bounty photographer), or your surname and postcode.
Q - My PSN doesn’t seem to work and I can’t log-in
Have you entered your correct postcode, using uppercase letters? Have you moved recently? You need to enter the postcode that you provided to the photographer at the time of baby’s birth. If you have checked this and are still unable to log on, please visit our Portrait FAQs page https://www.bountyweb.co.uk/orders/portrait_faq.php
Storing your baby’s images
Q - How long do I have to wait to view my baby’s images online?
Once the Bounty photographer has taken images of your new baby, they are normally available to view within 48 hours. Providing you gave the photographer your e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail from Bounty confirming when they are available to view.
Q - How long do you keep my baby’s images for?
With effect from February 2017, your baby’s portraits will be kept for a maximum 4 years, after which time they will be deleted. If you wish to have the portraits removed earlier than this, please contact our Customer Services team.
Q - How do you store and protect my baby’s images?
Your baby’s images are stored on a secure server and access is password protected. Only you and anyone you choose to share your Portrait Security Number (and postcode) with will have access to the portraits.
Q - How do I use your Announcement Service to share my images?

Bounty Portrait uses Royal Mail 2nd class post for all deliveries, with the exception of our Triple Image Frame, which, due to its size, is sent using a courier service.

Q - I haven’t received all or part of my order; what should I do?
Please check with your local Post Office, as it may be there awaiting collection. Should your order not be at the local Post Office. Royal Mail terms state that 15 working days must be allowed for, therefore if no delivery has been received after such time, contact our Customer services team.
Q - I’ve received my order and I am not happy with it. What should I do?
When placing an order with Bounty Portrait, it is your choice which images you choose to have printed. Once produced, if you are not satisfied with the image(s) chosen, then we are unable to offer any form of refund, as the portraits are made to order. If any of the portraits are of an unsatisfactory quality, please contact our Customer Service team to discuss the quality issue. They will see if the portrait can be improved, or else offer to reproduce your product in a different image
