You can click on any of the blue "View Proof Gallery" buttons on the site. There's one on this page.

It will take you to the access code login page. Enter your group's code and click the Open Your Album.

You can use the search line to find your student or find them in the list and click Login to the right of the line. Click on the Order Photos button and then the Choose Photo on any package. You can click Select A Pose to view your portraits.

If you have multiple students
You will need to repeat the steps to login for each one. That will make them accessible in a single viewing. When you click Choose Photo on any package there is a Select A Child button that will let you switch between students. Anything ordered for each will appear in a single shopping cart.
