3 STEPS TO SCHEDULING YOUR SENIOR PORTRAITS
1 SELECT YOUR SESSION Go Elite and be assigned your own private photographer or professional makeup artist for the day. Choose a different session to take an amazing yearbook photo along with a few other select scenes.
2 SELECT SCHOOL OR STUDIO Experience superior treatment at one of our state-of-the-art studios where you’ll receive magazine-worthy photos. Our studios come equipped with changing rooms, makeup artists, 3-D set design scenes, and the best in lighting and camera technology. These things can’t be easily replicated in the school gym or cafeteria, but we’ll bring in our top backdrops, lighting, and cameras to give you a great experience.
3 SCHEDULE EARLY Every school has a cutoff date to get your photo taken to be included in the yearbook. We recommend scheduling early the summer before your senior year starts. This allows time for a retake if one is neccessary, ensures you get to choose your favorite yearbook image, and you can be certain that you’re not left out of the yearbook.
