Check out our tips for a great session below, as well as details regarding turnaround time for your proofs/portrait orders, retouching and yearbook selection.
Your Portrait Session:
- Senior Sessions are each 15 minutes in length. We will photograph you in yearbook attire, which consists of a drape or tuxedo and in the cap & gown.
- You will be provided with an online gallery of proofs to view approximately 10-14 days after your session. Here you'll be able to make your yearbook photo selection and place your print order.
- Standard Retouching is included on all senior portrait orders. An option to upgrade to premium retouching is also available, see details below.
Tips for a great session:
- Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes early for your session. Unfortunately, we may not be able to accommodate late arrivals and you may have to reschedule if you are late.
- Ladies: Please arrive dressed in a cami or tube top to be worn under your drape. (we will provide the drape, no worries). Bring along a blouse/shirt to be worn with the cap and gown.
- Gentlemen: Please arrive dressed in a plain white t-shirt to be worn under the tuxedo shirt and jacket (we will provide the tuxedo, no worries).
- Styling your hair or putting on makeup should be done at home prior to your session.
- Please bring a brush or comb for hair fixes if needed.
- We do not recommend trying out new hairstyles close to your session, as this can be disastrous when you find it's something you don't like and there's no time to fix it.
- We do recommend if you need a haircut to get it 2 weeks prior to your session. This allows time for things to grow out and settle a little.
- Your nails will show in some of your pictures. Please be sure that your nails are camera ready.
- Jewelry can be a great addition to your look, just be sure not to overdo it, simple is usually better.
- Additional time can be purchased for casual outfits and sports uniforms for a $30 session fee for 15 minutes.
Orders and yearbook selection:
- Retouching: Standard retouching is included-blemish removal & eye bag softening. Premium retouching, which includes fly-away hair clean-up, teeth whitening, blemish removal, & eye bag softening can be added at time of order for an additional charge.
- Orders are typically ready in 3-4 weeks. You can pick them up at our studio or have them delivered to your home.
- Yearbook Selection: After you receive your gallery, you'll be able to choose which drape or tuxedo photo is used as your yearbook photo. This selection can be made even if you do not place an order.
